What Car do you Drive..?

[willow]

2010 XR50 [XR6] Falcon. Will be passing this on to my 16yr old boy once he gets his license.

The wife bought a Polo last year and its the first time I have driven a small car. As a result, I'm going to also downsize to the Renault Megane GT.

Dream Car - Re-Live my youth 72 HQ Monaro

Thought you owned a 73 XB Falcon Watto , maybe I have you mixed up with someone else on the Forum

My first car was a XC Falcon for $500

Wait for the new RS model to come out later this year Watto, I'm eyeing that boy off in a couple of years as my next runabout.

Have an XR50 as well, if your a Ford man then your dream car Should be a XA Coupe, it won at Bathurst in 1973 & 74!.
Might look at buying the last XR6 while keeping the XR50 seeing it's a collectors item.

HA Nice!

My first car was a 1981 Dihatsu Charade - 1.0litre 3 stroke engine with a blown cylinder - so really a 2 stroke.



I bought it for $650 and a case of beer - and that included 4 new tyres and 11 months rego..


Ahhh, memories.

It was actually a really awesome car, could do 100km no big fuss with two or three mates in it.
Ok it did feel like you were in a two stroke... but hey it was fun.

Sure everyone else had a white Barina, but at least the Green car had style. (ok my yellow Datsun wagon called Katie had style... and a redback embalmed in the gearstick!)

This is our transport to all home games, give us a wave if you spot the toolbox and the Tigers stickers on the tray. I will fly the Tigers flag on it on game day as well.

Had a laugh over the Alfa GT v6 and the Citroen...had the Alfa for a short period and it cost a bomb to run,,was almost Jaguar -like in that you had to have 2 of "em cause they were so unreliable.But when the Alfa was going,an absolute cracker with a beautiful exhaust note.
Never had a Citroen,but a Renault Fuego for several years as a company car.Great car to drive,but internal bits constantly fell off it ,until finally it rolled and just about everything fell off!Except me fortunately.
Been driving a CLA AMG 45 for 12 months...wonderful car and quite the firecracker...but somehow the above 2 clunkers had a bit more "soul".Think its the German thing vs France/Italy.
Last word..there was a waiting list on that Merc when I bought it,so no discounts anywhere locally...until I shopped around 40kms from where I live and they knocked $5k off as they were aware they wouldn't have got the business otherwise

I have an old rodeo tonner for trips to and from work and hauling junk about.
A 2014 Colorado for towing the caravan and carting kids around.
Weekend car is a HZ Kingswood Wagon with a fairly wild 355 stroker. If I baby the s*** out of it I can get about 25L to the hundred! And it's still more efficient than an electric car!

We are a two car family. Family car is the Kluger. The second car is a manual 2001 Subaru Liberty. I’ve kept it for my two daughters to learn to drive on. It’s just over 16 yrs old and has never broken down. It’s been a really good car but if they prang it I won’t be upset either . It AWD has air bags had the 5 Star safety rating and was voted car of the year back in its day.
My eldest has her L’s and has been going quite well in it. The main thing I wanted to teach them is how to use yours gears before going into corners or down steep roads .

dream car would have to be a lambo of some sort

Still a couple of years until he can get his licence but a nice touch for his birthday

The kids call it the canary and it has tweety bird seat covers

After our performance on the Friday and our season on life support I decided to take a break from the footy for the weekend and made a trip up the coast to and get my project back down to where I am living. Needs a fair bit of work but with our season almost gone I will have the time to get it back on the road....

Its a Narooma blue 01 AU2 manual XR8 with the 220 engine. Before I put it in storage I rebuilt the brakes and replaced all the IRS bushes in the suspension. Engine seems pretty good but paint needs to be brought back to life with some TLC. Had the car since 03 but has spent most of its life in sheds. Here is a pic when I picked it up from the farm over the weekend... very dusty...

This thread is perfect timing! We are looking to buy a new car - just had a new Bub.

Looking for a midsize SUV- looking at either the 162kw vw Tiguan r line,or the 110kw discovery sport. Any others we should consider in the 55-66k range?

Also looked at the jag e pace, problem with the jag and discovery is once you add extras the price rockets out of budget - without the options the are quite a basic car
