What Car do you Drive..?

I remember the first VW in town was driven by a priest we nicknamed Speed, he went under a semi in those days when those rear bars were not compulsory. No one bought one for years later.
 
I've got a 2012 Nissan X-Trail and I love it - except foe the stupid spare tyre being inside and living on 7km of dirt road means regular flat tyres!
Hubby's got a 2013 Nissan Navara
Kid's got a 1999 Honda CR-V

Dream car is a fully restored EJ
 
I'm on my L's and my dad gave me his 2013 Mitibishi Triton. I'm want a second hand ute when i get my P's.

I think you should get a shaggon wagon …swagster...
 
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

HA Nice!

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

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

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.
 
Last day of Xmas break, watching cricket, sly beer & chilling out
Car, geez I have had some, last car was 2004 alfa gt 3.2 V6, lovely car, went like stink & looked stunning
Current motor is VE series 2 VSS wagon with 6 speed & a tune. Great car & excellent for road trips
Also ride & looking at buying a new triumph thruxton this winter, Just got to workout how declare as a business vehicle.
Dream car, restored 105 gtv Alfa, have had one before but never been in position to restore it. Italian motoring at its best

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
