What Are You Driving ??

[ccheese]

Great thread Charles.

I was gonna start something similar as soon as I scanned some pics. I've owned mostly 4x4 trucks and early 70s muscle cars and have some great pics.

Chris:

I've been thinking about this for some time. Occasionaly a member would
mention his vehicle, so I thought.. what to heck. Besides, I had just finished
cleaning up my truck.... good time, no ?

Don't understand you having so much trouble with salt air. I live eight miles
from the ocean. Maybe the salt air blows north or south ?

I dunno Charles, I'm only assuming. My car has more paint chips than Home Depot. As in the words of DI Ermey "Its a "F"ing modern art masterpiece" But it gets me where I'm going!

We got a 1996 escort station wagon that had 30,000 miles when we bought it from my wife's company for $1.00It was in almost new condition until a tree fell on it about a month later. A very big tree, it totaled out the cars on the boths of where we parked but we got the windshield replaced and beat the roof back into shape and replaced a door and the springs.
The car looks like it's been driving through a combat zone with dents all over it but we do park on the street in DC and I have been hit once with pretty good damage to the other car, and like Adler, I got out laughing....

My dad had a Triumph Spitfire back the 70s, don't know which model.

I drive a '99 1.6 Litre Peugeot 206 XS. A whole 90 BHP! 0 - 60 in 11 seconds! Top speed 110 MPH and 35 MPG so it does me just fine.

Here's a picture of a XSi (16 valve) for those that don't know the 206 - obviously not mine - and the XSi looks exactly like the XS. Mines burnt orange, I'll get a picture soon if anyone's really bothered.

Nice looking car.

 

[plan_D]

Mine looks nicer, naturally... I'm going to upgrade one day to the 2.0 litre GTi model, 140 BHP. Why not, eh?

I drive a 2007 Ford MONDEO TDCI.

 

[Matt308]

Cool. Don't see those over here.

Plan my dad had a '63 Triumph TR 3. Love that car!

 

[Matt308]

Ah the TR3. A neighbor had two of them. Looked good. Ran like $!#@.

 

[Njaco]

yeah, well, that part was true.

 

[plan_D]

The bottom fell out of my dads.

Nothing special...my 2000 Holden Commodore No2 after my son got through with No1...

 

[lesofprimus]

Ouch....

 

[Njaco]

Is said son now buried in No. 1?

 

[Henk]

Now Wayne how did your son do that?

I once hit the sidewalk and bend the rim and broke the windshield with my hand when I was very pissed. The rim was when I hit a corner to fast and had a bit too much to drink, I learned my lesson with that one and with the windshield I had to replace anyway and got it done for a bargain to, but do not break your own sh*t when you are pissed at someone, break his stuff instead.

 

[Matt308]

How did you son get a dent on the bloody top of the car?

 

[wilbur1]

Cool. Don't see those over here.

Actually we do they are sold as volvos

 

[Matt308]

Ford = Volvo? Didn't realize they were in cahoots.
