What Are You Driving ?? (1 Viewer)

I have been there Dan. If I hear of anything or can find anything affordable I will let you know.

It just looks like it would be a fricken blast to drive cross country.

It's great driving cross country. In Colorado there are a great number of places to drive them and a favorite for those who like a parade. Infact I heard there are a few businesses that use them for tours up in the mountains here and in Hawaii.

St. Patrick's Day Parade in Denver....

How many people can they carry?

 

[Night Fighter Nut]

My truck, the 710M, can carry 8 people in back with one more passenger up front to total 10. The 712M, the one with six wheels, carries 12 in the back and 2 up front to total 14.

If you're associated with the Rocky Mountain Regional Fly-in, you probably did. I use to drive people from the parking lot to the front gate for a number of years as well as driving for KOSI-101 for a few years during the St. Patrick's Day Parade.

Is it called
the Cortina in New Zealand, or the Taunus?

Cortina. Not sure if it was ever sold in the USA but as far as I'm aware it was the Taunus in Europe and the Cortina everywhere else. I've actually sold it now, put it on an auction site, paid extra for all the fancy bits as I needed it shifted and it sold within 40 minutes!

I now have a Nissan Vanette, which is my 6th car this year and hopefully I'll be doing a big NZ road trip in it

Very cool! I have a commute like that, how does it do on it?

Just brought home this old 1978 Monza 2+2. At first it was a great deal at $500 but after some mis-adventures with an out of town garage...I'm into it for much more.
Anyhow, I'm hoping it'll be a good commuter for my oldest. My wife's grandmother bought it new and kept it till she passed away and I got it from our uncle, so 2 owners in 32 years and 97,000 miles is not bad.

It has some rust on the body and I think some of the window seals may be dry-rotted. But the old gal ran 450 miles yesterday on the Interstate to make it home so I think the carb rebuild must have worked.

Hopefully you won't have to spend any more money on it for a while. It is a cool ride though. Now, all it needs is a LS-2 motor and a 6 speed transmission and just a little wider tires.

 

[mudpuppy]

I'd get a bigger kick out of that than my daughter would. She's not crazy about the wee 6 cylinder it has now. She's spoiled with her scooter getting 100mpg.

Not another one

Still driving my 2000 4X4 Chevy Silverado. Bought it new and just turned over 224,000 total miles, hope to make it past the 300,000 mile mark.

224k? Nicely done!

 

[Bucksnort101]

224k? Nicely done!

Only a couple breakdowns so far, cross my fingers. Fuel pump went out, blew one spark plug that too the threads out so needed a heli-coil inserted, one bad alternator, and a mass flow air sensor and two oxygen sensors went out. Not too bad for a vehicle with that many miles on it I guess, I've had on cars with much less miles on them.
It's does like to eat tires at a fast rate though, every two years it seems I'm putting a new set on.
