What Are You Driving ??

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

As long as you don't hammer it the SRT gets 18 which for the performance is not bad. My 5.2 liter get 18 to 20 back and forth to work and I've seen 25 on trips with the cruise set. I run at least 92 octane or better though.

My old 95 was a 5.2 and I never got above 20 with it.

The 3.7 V6 that I have right now gets over 20 though and on the Autobahn, I have had it as high as 27 mpg. Pretty damn good for a Jeep.

Years ago I was engaged to a girl who's father had a Magnum 440 shoe-horned in to a two wheel drive CJ5.

His mileage sucked, but man, that Jeep sure could haul a$$...

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I'll bet!!!!

Wow, a lot of cool vehicles here.

My auto is a 2002 Ford Focus while the bike is a 1993 Yamaha GTS.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Both are very sharp LA!

Found and scanned a slide of my old Ford Escort Mk1 rally car from the early 1970s. This was taken not long after I'd fitted the wide wheel arches, and coach-painted the body with a brush. Still surprised at the excellent finish !
The wheels/tyres were a 'spare' set, and the roll cage hadn't been re-intsalled at this point. Boy, I miss that car !!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Very interesting Terry, I bet it was a blast to drive.

 

[Airframes]

It was great to drive Aaron! Could chuck it around on the loose stuff like a brick !

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

And probably hold the excellerater pedal on the floor all the way through a turn.

 

[Airframes]

Yep - sideways normally !!

 

[T Bolt]

I bet that was fun to drive! That blue is just about the same shade as my old truck. Very unusual.

 

[Airframes]

Far as I remember, it was called Royal Aircraft Blue, a synthetic enamel. I think I gave it two, maybe three coats with a soft coach-painting brush, and finished off with a clear gloss varnish top coat.

My Daily ride!! 2010 Holden VE SSV

And My Baby!!!!
1954 Plymouth Cranbrook
Was 20 years in the making, Did a lot of the cut and fill, including the floors, and also the Chasis mods to fit the V8 and disc front, with the help of my dad, cousin and friends, then had it professionally finished. Been on the road for 4 years

 

[Airframes]

Nice !

 

[vikingBerserker]

Sweet rides Peebs, but that Plymouth rocks!!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Is that a 340 in the 54 Mopar Peebs? And those are two very cool rides by the way.

 

[Wayne Little]

Very cool...both rides mate!

Its actually a 360, the Holden is a 6 Lt V8 which also equates to around 360ci,

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

That was my next guess. The Holden was imported to America as the Pontiac G-8 I think but I may be wrong.
