Who else just LOVES their car?

[aussienic]

Yeah I am.

I won't be stalking you, promise. We're the only orange wagon around here, so if you see it...we don't drive 'like that' all the time, I swear lol.

ooo now you got me thinking? only orange car I know of is down here, Can't remember the model of it now. ford......territory.. (thanks DH)

oh and 2 orange 4wdrives I think they (from memory) are tray backs?? is one of them yours??

[~TT40~]

Teirae, I love that you want a Delorian LOL.

I love our car too. I know it's a newer model car, but its ours and I love it. I loved DH's first car too - a HQ Holden Kingswood that his grandmother gave him once she couldn't drive anymore. he put mag wheels on it and OMG it was a hot car. We used to do all sorts of things in it I also loved my first car - a 1986 red Holden Barina that went like a dog shot in the arse LOL. It was such an awesome little car, and I could fill it up with fuel for $25 and it would last me the week!! And because it only had 12 inch wheels on it, whenever I'd take it for new tyres the bloke would always call it my Limosine ROFL.

Ive touched one and been driven around in one a few years back, one of the most exciting moments of my life, was awesome! Oh Deloreans are sex on wheels!!!
My car was also my nans who gave it to me when she couldnt drive anymore. She had had it for 13years and only done 40000k on it, basically took her to the drs once a week, so was basically brand new when I got it near 7 years ago and ive made up for loat time!
Oh and yes I have very fond memories of the xb

I had a Holden statesman the same as your fairlane. Stock standard on the outside but grunt on the inside. I bought it for a steal, only ever had one (very anal) owner and had super low ks on the clock. It was white, dark tint...
... The we traded it because DH ALWAYS wanted a six speed manual. So we got a commodore ss. I hate that thing!

I drive a landcruiser now. I love it because it's practical. Fits the kid, the kids stuff, the dog, shopping, pram etc all in at once
Plus all my junk too haha

[Sopdet]

I love my car, she is my lifeline, she gets me where I need to go and where I need to be and she rocks at hook turns!

[*Twinkle*]

I love mine! It's a Rav4, and most importantly has ipod connection. And its a work car with full private use so it has unlimited petrol, services, tyres and all included.

[~Hestia~]

I love my car, his name is Spike

[Amity]

I love my new car. His name is Cookie Monster

Driving to Sydney this morning reminded me that I love my cruise control. It's got the best cruise control I've ever had.

[black_rose]

I love my car, it's the first one I chose. It's got all the extras, tinted windows, side steps, leather and a sun roof. For now it's got sign writing on but underneath it's a sexy car. Apparently it has to go in a couple of months, so I am hoping to get the same but with the iPod connectivity this time!

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??

[Amity]

Love it Netix!

[Netix]

Thanks Div! Are you stalking me? And which car do you love?

[~*Niadalla*~]

. . . To my latest car, my little mk 2 Esky,

As in an Escort? Cos I had a MkII Escrot - Ghia. That was my first car and I LOVED it!! It was stock standard, but it was a beast!!!! I had so much fun hooning around in that when I was younger until it died and by died I mean moat of the fire wall was gone, the floor under the passenger side is totally rusted out.... just stuffed. We still have it!

[Netix]

Yep Niadalla, Esky as in Escort. Mine's just a GL, not the Ghia. Its got little Hotwire mags, cream colour, and the vinyl roof was tan I think. Dunno, it was REALLY faded before I peeled it off. The rust in yours sounds just like what mine has... Plus some in the front of the roof where the seam in the vinyl roof was, and in the C pillar underneath that useless vent! What are you going to do with yours? Is it a two or four door?

I spent some time getting around in a couple of mk2, worked 2 litre coupes. I just love them (along with so many other cars), and decided to get one now so that I can actually drive around in a car that I enjoy driving. I really enjoy driving, so want to be in something I like.

[~*Niadalla*~]

Sorry Netix, have only just seen this!
Hubs has been talking about doing her up again and having it as the kids first car. Makes me chuckle. Mine was a 4 door.
I LOVED my esky!!!! Was the best car ever when I was a little P plater. My favorite part of the car was the lovely wooden dash.... lmao. It was green with a cream vinyl roof.
Hubs has a project car that has stalled for quite some time now, a 1970 Ford Capri that he wants done up..... it's going to be a LOOOONNNNGGGGG project though.
