Netix rocks back and forth giddily.....
I love all my cars, and even some of those that I have driven that weren't 'mine'...
My first car, which I bought just over ten years ago (and I haven't been able to give it a birthday ) is my '71 Statie.... Factory 350 (but not factory spec ), manual, 15x9 (fronts) and had 15x12 rears. Now its got slicks on the back... And a blown gearbox. Only about the fourth that I've done since I've had it (bear in mind, I've not renewed the rego once in the time I've had it) . . .
. . . To my latest car, my little mk 2 Esky, which I got just before Christmas. Was meant to be a tidy up and rego for me to have something that I liked to drive around in. But its got LOTS of rust, so has turned into a full resto. Its currently sitting at the shop, all stripped out, vinyl roof gone, waiting for surgery. Its got a race worked 1.6 and manual box, but I can't decide whether to keep that in there, or do an engine swap. Mainly I think because I can't decide what to put in there! Do I shoe-horn a commodore v6 in there (and practically have to pull the motor out to change plugs ), or the slightly larger nissan v6 (which goes better and sounds better too, but honestly, would be the biggest PIA to get my hands around to service). Or, a nissan 2.2 (which we already have sitting in our shop, WITH a manual box, although engine condition is unknown), with a turbo bolted on? Or, and one of the most appealling.... 13B which is being offered to me by a friend of ours. Oh decisions, decisions! And I want to put a cage in it, but with kids (or anyone) in the rear seats, that is made a lot more difficult.
And then there are the 4wds...
Mmmm..... xb....
And Alicia, I know what you're talking about I drove a R34 GT for a little while, and even that was terrific fun at trouncing wannabe's in their commodores with their girlfriends! Did you know you can get the four door skylines??
