Lovely cars … I would have thought “familyguy” would be more suited to a Volvo P1800 Estate. Nice lines, + can carry a bike easily.

My mum worked at Leyland (I remember the staff picnics). She was in the spare parts division, counter sales. Very busy job from what I remember her saying at the time.

^ spizza where at? my dad worked at leyland for ages, he was on the production line pumping out mini’s. Funnily enough he never owned one, he bought a brand new gemini instead. Really wished he kept that for me.
Those new FJ40s are everywhere in perth …i kinda like em though, considering it was designed by a kid straight out of design school.
Saw one of these in perth, couldnt pull over in time to make an offer =(

More likely to be rollin’ with da bruthas packin’ pistols than rednecks with a shotgun. In this country rather ironically most redneck bogans will be driving a Toyota or Nissan 4WD, which both look like shite.

You’ve all heard of top fuel, but believe it or not there is actually a drag racing class called “Top Diesel”
[Home of the World’s First 7 Second Diesel Dragster](http://www.cumminsracing.com/)
Diesel powered drag racing is gaining in popularity in the US, mostly due to the availalitiy of pick-ups with large diesel engines from the factory.

That s600 is sweet.
Nice little Suzuki truck. I really think Jap micro van’s/trucks are very cool.
I also like Nissan Pao’s but they’re very hard to find now in Oz (restricted import). There was one at Shannon’s auction about a year ago but it was too rough in the body to consider, and a lot of the trim was very tired. My head ruled and I passed. Mrs. Spirito can’t understand why I like little cars that look a bit girly-ish. I’d love a Renault 4 but the Pao is an awesome looking car that’s probably going to be easier to keep running (Nissan Micra running gear).

A neighbour pulled a sweet gold Citroen SM out of the shed the other day…Been under cover 20 years apparently! Mint.

I prefer the sedan, Simon Templar style. I didnt say the car had to carry the family.
Failing that:
Or any Golf GTi.

Definately one of the coolest 4WDs around. I can’t believe how expensive it is!

Gen 5 R32 is what I drive, from new, 4yo with 24k on the clock… only thing I’m likely to replace it with is this:
The 4.2 V8 will be gone by the end of the year and I know what the super charged V6 will be like.
And it’s hardly unique.

Really? I’ve never had good taste and appreciation for cars with style…that’s why I used to roll in this:
Besides Jeep SRT8’s are f%$king nice for a ‘crossover SUV’ which is probably my least favourite of vehicle class.

This is what I’ve always wanted since I was a kid. Bike (Pugsley/Moonlander) on the back and go anywhere.
