Daily Driver: Ford XLS Ute

Year: 2000

Color: Navy

Best Features: You can chuck sh1t in the back. Work pays for the fuel.

Worst Features: Where to start?? Firstly I guess - its a Ford! Others include lack of passengers (my other car is a 2 seater as well currently), guzzles fuel - I know I said I dont have to pay but I have to fill it with 80L on a regular basis which anoys me!, damn dodgy to drive in the wet (but fun!)

Would I drive it again by choice: No

What Would I Drive Again if by Choice: If I had to still have the tray for work Id like either a Nissan Nivara or Holden Rodeo both 4x4 Dual Cab. Or if I could make it a wagon an Audi Allroad Quattro 2.7T would do just fine!

CAR: 1975 Mitso Galant coupe.

FEATURES: 1600 Engine, wheels, working Air con and stereo.

WHY? It cost me $300!

FUTURE PLANS: When the skyline is finished it will get painted and a 2.6 engine swap, with quad throttle EFI.

Car : 1985 Mitsubishi Colt 45

Colour: White, with Colt 45 Racing Stickers, Blue Racing Interior and racing seat cover, along with racing gearknob and pedals

Best Feature: use it only for taking dogs to the vet, needing to park anywhere i want, 4speed manual, front wheel drive (meaning i cant break something from wanting to go farm and do burnouts)

Worst Feature: its a mitsubishi colt

Performance: can do burnouts in 1st when dry, 1st and second when wet

Would I drive it again by choice: no

What i would prefer as a daily driver: Suzuki Carry Van 1983 :P

The Mighty Daewoo Matiz - Van Version (Work car)

Best features - Cup holder, tight parking is a breeze and I dont pay a cent on anything which means more $ for mods.

Worst feature - It's a Daewoo, It's a Matiz, It's a Daewoo Matiz, Only 3 cyl 725cc, oh did I menttion it's a Daewoo Matiz?

Who ever said chicks dig small cars should be shot and so should my boss for buying them! :D

Performance: Enough to get into and out of trouble.

Would I ride it again by choice: No, If I get another bike after this one it will be a "Sunday ride only" Ducati. Commuting is just too bl00dy dangerous. ( DAMN, I'm getting old! )

What would I prefer as a daily driver: Still something like a 3 series Beemer.

Like Factor: (the glass is half full ): 6/10

Up untill two months ago I had a Range Rover as my daily driver.

Color: Red

Year: 1993

Best feature: I could drive over anything or anyone !!

Worst feature: lots and lots of fuel, break downs and headaches

Performance: really hard to get it going, but cruised well on the freeway, and was great off road- I think thats what killed it !

I would love to have a 4X4 for camping, and even with all the hassels the rangie gave me I would still have another one.

I'm driving my GTR every day at the moment- its loud, fast and a bugger in traffic but I love it !!!!

like factor: 7/10 for the rangie and the GTR is of the scale

Well I've two others ;)

1)

'81 280zx, Black with silver bonnet, 5 spd manual & targa roof. 2.5" from the manifold back sounds cool for an old girl :P

Hmm, good for a cruise with the roof open and a 2:24 around Philip Island, that was fun! Kept in fornt of the V8 Hillmen and almost kept up with the SII RX7 :D understeers like a bastard tho. Haven't driven for a while and is for sale! Offers?? $$$$

2)

'92 MR2 GT-S Red

Quick, nimble and its an MR! handles like a go-kart and yes that's a good thing! Great ****pit for excellent sound with the stereo!

Will be going on the market once I replace the boot lining. Made a pasta bake in the boot after a trip back from Apollo Bay along the great ocean road. If only the pasta had of cooked as well I would have had diner ready to serv :(

Don't smell too good now. Will miss it when it goes tho...

Just need a need a silver BMW M5 parked along side the R33 now...

    • It's all about selling non-compliant emmisions stuff, and things like tuning stuff that makes your car have more emmisions, a very small percentage of modifications and tuning go into race cars, the vast majority of tuning and mods, like catless exhausts, or non-compliant cats, go into street cars with registration  Like a gun shop can only sell to someone with a gun licence, if they don't, they are fined and even jailed, and whilst a gun is totally different to a tune, or a catless exhaust, they are still illegal for a street car As for customers, it easy, they send a letter and tell them to show up for an inspection, like if someone says your car is to loud now, if they don't show up for the test, they can cancel rego, just like not paying a traffic fine This has been happening for years overseas in other countries  I'm in no way happy about it, but, I think there is definitely writing on the wall for modern cars with emissions standards, which will effect tuning shops, parts suppliers and end users And like other countries around the world, it is the government's that makes the rules and regulations for street cars with rego What would happen to a tuner or workshop if they were investigated about turning off stuff in a ECU IRT emmisions stuff like engine check lights for cats, or removing cats, or putting in a lower cell cat, this is apparently all illegal IAW modifications to registered cars, or, retuning the car so that with even stock emmision stuff still installed, but due to the tuning, or parts, like bigger cam shafts, it will now not pass the emmisions test Yes, I am going into a rabbit hole, but going off what other countries are doing IRT everything related to emmisions........cars, trucks, manufacturing, mining, modified vehicles are a easy target Meh, time will tell how it goes either way 
    • This^^^ 100%. Endless Male Attention. "buy a cool car, attract females". No reality is the opposite. "Buy a cool car, attract males".     
    • Just wanted to share the recent dyno results on my car. 20lbs of boost on pump gas. Pulled the fuse on the AWD so it was only rear wheels on the dyno. It made 484 hp at the wheels. I asked the tuner to see if we could do something so it breaks the 500hp level, but he said that we were maxxed out on pump gas. If i wanted to make more power, id have to go to E85.      8739a97a-9408-4eeb-b769-108ff1678736.mp4
    • While there is no current law for the spoon, let's swap to a different utensil. Example, does the store get fined for selling a butter knife if it ends up being a murder weapon? Perhaps they cpuld be done for assisting if they *knew* it was going to be for such a purpose. But, if used properly, which was its primary design, it's a tool for a job that's legal. I could understand companies being prosecuted if they advertise their products for being road legal if they in fact, are not. Possibly, but not necessarily, the tuners for tuning a car to a non legal fashion(emissions), but there is always the possibility that the customer really doesn't intend to use the car, in that configuration, on the road. So long as the companies can prove they have conveyed how illegal it is to use the now illegal car, in a place where the vehicle must meet the laws, they shouldn't be punished. Not sure about other countries or states, but I've been made aware that I can't legally stop a client from taking and driving their own car in NSW, Australia, even if they owe the shop money. It must go through court to get the funds from the customer, and you need to get the police or roads covering body representatives to come and stop the owner from driving the car, even if I know how hazardous the vehicle is.
    • probably around the $1700-1800 fitted in his sizes.  The ar1 is heaps cheaper. Get on scumplace I got some A052 295/35/18 for $400 that had done maybe 20-25 hot laps of SMP.
