What Car Do You Own?

[gallardo]

Very nice and for the removal of your M5 badge. Try fishing line

Already removed the M5 badge, the Type-R thing on the handbrake, changed the gear knob, bought new tyres and fixed some internal stuff, mounted xenon headlights since the stock ones are weaker than candles.

This year I'm going to fix up the bodywork, give it a fresh coat of silver paint and perhaps, if I'll have enough money, change the trim (maybe an M5 interior with some cream leather) and get some nice 18" wheels (although with the huge craters we have in the roads over here that'll have to wait).

I want it looking kinda like this:

but with my mirrors (I don't like the rounded ones), no wing on the back and no angel eyes.

Very nice. Make sure to post some pics.

nipper575, i've never seen that vehicle before. It's like a GTO and an F150 lightning put together, looks pretty sick!

Cheers, I guess it's an Aussie take on American Muscle.

Yeah, they still make ElCamino/Ranchero like vehicles down there, they need to bring the suckers up here. Pontiac was going to with the G8 ST but once Pontiac went down the tubes the ST went with it.

Very popular here in Australia, the utes are more iconic than the sedans imo.

what size engine is in that ? looks like it's buried in plastic lol

boss 260 last time I seen 260 it was a concept ford gt with a 4.6L SOHC 260 hp.

As mentioned by Onoff312, it's a 5.4L V8. It's equipped with DOHC and 4 valves per cylinder. It produces 260KW & 500 Nm of torque.

There is too much plastic under the bonnet for my liking but it's not the worst I've seen. The intake plenum and valve covers are just painted with a crinkle style black paint, they obviously aren't plastic, haha.

it's a 5.4L V8 fairly aging now he got the 260KW (350-370hP?)model as you can see on the plastic it is to big for the frame thus the bulge lol but sure does make a good sound.
Don't like the rims on his one though
Edit: and yes it is the same engine as the Ford Gt without a supercharger.

Never been a fan of chrome wheels myself due to looking to blingy, found these ones have grown on me though, seem to suit the metallic paint.

Wasn't aware that it was a similar engine to what Ford use in the GT. Learn something new everyday.

Nice vehicle nipper!
I once had a 1960 US Ford Falcon Ranchero.
Would love to have that Ute.

[ProStreetCamaro]

5 points to anyone that can name it

HAHA what part of MD? Moco here. We got blasted didnt we? This is what I drove during the storms. 200K and still working its AZZ off!

Im over in HoCo, and this is what I drove in the storms. It doesnt work well in snow deeper than 4" or so on the roads


2002 Chrysler 300M, its got about 106k miles and counting now

[BeavermanA]

Here's my work truck that I dive 99% of the time:





My personal car is a 2001 Z28 Camaro. Guess this is the only picture that I have of it since getting a real camera instead of a phone. Think this was taken after it had been sitting in my parents garage for a few months. Looks even worse now, sits outside and I'm lucky if I drive it once a week.

Its your tires..... Probably summer only? Same problem here for me; next time I buy tires, its going to be a decent set of all season.... There are a few for 19" rims.

[Judaeus Apella]

Right now I'm putting up with a burgundy red Chrysler Cirrus. It's got horrible brakes that smoke and the front suspension feels like its in bad shape. The car rises and falls a lot with the gas, and the car feels like its dragging on the ground when I stop. Also the steering wheel shakes really hard when the car is in gear, while idling... like its directly attached to the pistons. I really really hate this car and this is why I don't plan on buying an american car any time soon. Its only temporary till I get my hands on a used car. This piece of crap belonged to my grandparents. They retired to a home recently and gave my family this car. We'll probably trade it in for the car I'm getting. At least it has an upgraded ratio... with a a plastic face that falls off every time I try to use it. If the front suspension and breaks were fixed up, it wouldn't be so bad.... but I just don't feel very safe in it. Thank gawd we're not keeping it long. Probably about a month or so and its outta here.

Well in a few months my car will be paid off and since I lost my bike last summer to a kid pulling in front of me I have had the urge lately to go ridding since it is finally getting warm outside. I had a cbr1000rr, but I have been looking at the triumph 675. Sexy looking bike and has been consider one of the best street bikes for a few years now. I have ridden two of them and must say super fun bike.

I will be getting a blue one like the picture shows. I honestly can not wait to get my damn car paid off now hahaha. I know I dont own it yet, but realllllllll soon I will. Then its back to never being inside and some how spending a lot on money on gas for a bike.

Reminds me of my sister who drove without exhaust (only outlet manifold) for two weeks. She managed to pull away at almost 7000rpm, which resulted in a few angry neighbours.

[Frogeye]

This is my 58 Austin Healey Frogeye. I've been restoring it over the last ten years. Nice rides everyone.
