Hey, realbinky, how many head gaskets on the neon so far? :D

I'm driving a 1992 Plymouth Acclaim with a 2.5l 4-cyl and 300,000km on the clock. Burns no oil, although it leaks a little.

Cars in the past were two Camaros, a Mustang, and a Cavalier.

The Plymouth was a real shocker to my friends (who affectionately call it "the Dog" - remove the second "d" and the "e" from Dodge and you know where that came from... [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) when they were used to me driving fast cars, but oh well you have to get practical sometime in life.

I've heard of it! I drive a blue Hyundai Excel ;)

I don't get naming cars though. A friend of mine when I got my car, was all, what's it called?! Hers is called Eric (or something :rolleyes: ). I guess I just don't appreciate it.

I drive a 92 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cierra with like 120,000 miles on it. I also drive a 2000 Cobra GT with 17,000 miles on it. Sounds cool doesn't it? Cobra GT? LOL. It's a passenger van. Has a good engine though. Had a run-in with someone on the right front quarter panel though. I was parked in front of a house and someone backed up into it. What a Maroon.... Can't look back to see if someone was behind him. Jeez. Not too bad, and I just haven't had the time to get it fixed. I did get insurance info, but I don't think it was all that expensive to want to go through all that. I'll find out more once I get an estimate though.

Here is a pic of my car, well one that looks very similiar.

Its a Nissan Pintara '86, I don't know if anyone would have heard of them outside Australia, but it's basically an R31 Skyline with a 2litre 4cyl engine.
It's a cheap car but runs well. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I Have a Dodge Grand Caravan (Great for SCA eventing) but my true favorite I ended up having to scrap was my IHC Scout II 4x$, great off road vehicle if you can get the parts when you need them!

I'm too young to drive, but I wouldn't mind a Mitsubishi FTO ;)

At the moment i'm driving a holden astra, opel astra to you euros [img]smile.gif[/img]
I've changed the tires and wheels but havn't got money for anything else at the moment :( Been looking at some exhaust systems but they way out of my budget at this time hahaha
But man, so far it's the best car i've driven, i have a thing for fast hatches and it's a shame the turbo versions arn't available in australia, dammit. :D

Well I hope you don't mind me posting about my vehicles even though they're not cars! For those who don't know, I'm a scooter fanatic.

I am the proud owner of a 1969 Lambretta GP(DL) 125:

It's a little bit mechanically temperamental but I love it. Gorgeousness on wheels, and looks exactly as it did when it rolled off the production line 34 years ago. My pride and joy. I haven't done anything to it yet, but am thinking of getting a clip-on mirror for the sake of my neck, and a rear rack/spare wheel holder. Might also put whitewall tyres on it. [img]graemlins/cool.gif[/img] The engine is reconditioned and it has a 12v battery instead of the original 6v one so the headlights actually work!

My other scooter is a 2002 Vespa - nowhere near as cool as the Lamby, but I've modded it up a bit by plastering it in chrome racks and bars. I use it for day to day stuff. Here it is:

<font color="cyan">Being only 18, not many cars!

Am into heavily modifying, just not got around to finish any project! Mouse, your car rules! I like Corrado's!

Ok, my first car was this 205 :

Pics - http://www.arcdelta.com/1/205xl.htm
Crash - http://www.arcdelta.com/1/crash.htm

I crashed this, quite badly, as you can see. Total write off, 10x over! lol.

Anyway, the sound system was very, very loud. The next one is going louder.

I now drive a Ford Fiesta. Not great, but I'm saving for either a Saxo, Megane Coupe or something!</font>
