Mr. 0099 sir, you surprise me.
I didn't know the Corbin Swallow was available in Australia. What is it called over there? Does it have a different name?

:cool: Claude
 
Here's mine; hot on the trail of the elusive ferrous horse:

1992 Lincoln Towncar

Interesting thread!

Here is what mine looks like:

I wait until a car is older than seven years old because banks will not lend against it and pay low ball cash. Hehe!:hehe: This car was $32,000 new and I bought it for $5,000 in 2002. It only had 37,000 miles. I guess it no longer impressed the neighbors. What a great car this one is. Now it has 123,000 miles on it no rust and I am planning on taking 600 miles to Ocean City this weekend. If you travel this is the car to travel in.

I suggested to a friend to buy a good used car for $2,000 or $3,000 and they spent $19,000 for a new one. I asked why? "Oh, I don't have two or three thousand cash." I replied, "there is something wrong with this picture. Enjoy your new car, full coverage insurance and working for the bank....And by the way don't wreak it you will probably end up owing more than the insurance company will pay the bank.":o
 
Man this is COOL were all big kids at heart....I cant remember the last time I tried to grow up LOL......Love the Boxer Dave ....and Blackwatch the Jag....:udrool:
Me I always wanted a PT moden+retro looks shame about the Ninja stars I got for wheels but I can always change that
I just hope its as reliable as my old 89 Magna :eek:
 
Even though it's not technically mine, my dad has said that it's mine once we restore it (please note, photos are about 20 years old, and were taken before my dad transported it to our old house, then our new house).

Anyways, it's a 1949 Armstrong Siddeley Station Coupe ute...

Even though I'm 17, I've not got my 'Ls' (learners permit) yet (min age to get your 'Ls' is 16 in Aus). So I don't drive, yet. But we've currently got two cars the can be driven. A Toyota Camrey (SP?) 2000 model (not sure which camrey) and a Subaru 4 wheel drive (89 model I think...). Also got a Toyota Corolla which was designed for Bathurst (although it never did race), and a Ford Transit Van (both non working at the moment).

My trusty old diesel Pajero posed atop Matlock Hill (from whence on a clear day the view is simply stupendous)

Is that a pickup bed on that Armstrong? That is very cool.:Y:
Hurry and get your LS and start making your stupid mistakes while your young enough to enjoy them. They're a lot less fun when you're on your own and have to pay all your own bills.

1986 BMW 535i

Over 216,00 miles, she's old, but still alive and kicking. If nothing serious happens, I hope to some day hit 400,000 miles or more.

Got a handy adavantage as well. We also have a 2nd 535i. A 1985, great source of spare parts. Engine is already gone, but we have the transmission, almost all the Body panels are good, pretty much a whole car's worth of parts. We also have a 2nd 5 Speed manual transmission lying around, and a 3rd somewhere, 3 complete straight 6 BMW engines, 1 in a 85' 528i thats rusted to hell, and 2 in old 73' 3.0 CS coupes.

I think i got the best from the Get Go. Yours does quite match mine though Andy.
sorry, no Pics for now..
I (will) drive a 1996 Chevy Tahoe 2dr, 4x4. Very nice truck to go romping around in. Especially after we pull the motor, do nessecary repairs, and slap it back in, jack it another foot, maybe 1/2 foot off the ground, add some bigger mickey Thompsons, and a nice Galvinized steel bull bars, and to top it all off? a complete air system connected to a quick-detach horn, primarily a Leslie S3L or RS5T..:cool:
I'll be ridin' in style...

My dream car though?
1969 Chevy Chevelle, maxed with a 454 bigblock dumpin' 600hp off the crank..:udrool:
Yep.
My cars...
lol
Cheers.

My daily driver is a '94 Plymouth Sundance with 117,000 miles on it. I drive 43 miles a day in slow and go traffic and spend allot of time looking at the other cars. I don't remember the last time I saw another Plymouth much less a Sundance. At least I get 29mpg.
I am thinking of a major upgrade to an 05 Dodge Neon. ;>
If I would go with a new car it would likely be a Jeep Patriot.
 
Klinger sounds like the whole family likes BMW's lol that many you guys are not obsessed by any chance ? :o Me I got 2 more sleeps to go to get the PT! :udrool: :udrool: :udrool:

Only when my Step Dad showed up

Before that my mom had an Old Subaru and a Jeep.

Since he has shown up, we have had, oh lets see

2 1973 3.0 CSI Coupes, 1 1987 535i, 1 1985 528i (now a parts car due to dangerous rust) and my 1986 535i

thoes are the ones we drove

Besides those, we have an extra Coupe for parts, the old silver coupe was sold long ago, and now the other good running one is being parted out, Im hoping some one will buy the whole car, its in great shape. the 87 535 was sold to a friend in california....who later hung himself...great guy, I really miss him. 528i as i said is too dangerous to drive, and I have my 535i now

we used to have another 528i. It was going to be my car, we stripped the engine out and were gonna take the engine from the other one to get it running, but a bunch of trailer trash stole it (towed it away) along with another 3.0 CS coupe that belonged to a friend, and crushed them for about $150. They were worth in total, about $10,000
