I just got me a new car and was wondering what sort of rides everyone else has.
the car i just got is a totally factory looking blue over silver 1990 VN commodore. 3.8 V6 wth a 5 speed manual box. awesome car with plenty of grunt and oh soo comfortable to ride in. i just ordered a performance chip for it too. my other wagons are a mazda titan double cab tip truck and a 4x4 delica diesel van. (they are the ones that make it on the road) so now you see why i say the commy is so comfy lol. i have also got a couple of roughy 4wd's i use to push logs, get airborne and stuck in(i hate getting stuck) letting kids drive and that sort of thing. im about to build a log splitter on the back of one of them. should be ass end heavy enough to do wheelies then haha. no doubt i will be dumb enough to try one day

4TH: 1990 NISSAN SENTRA SPORTWAGON! YEAH BABY! 1.4LTR 280,000KM'S! NZ NEW!I loved this car, it just kept going and going when I was a student, and did the best burnouts! and was Awesome for Rallying ( note: on private roads )

Re: What do you drive?
well there are some cool cars listed here. i am trying to remember all the cars i have owned, here are a few.
mark 1 cortina, i had a 2litre cortina engine and 5 spd supra g/b fitted in that, a real hoons car that was.
mark 3 GT cortina, already fitted with a 3 litre v6. fast as til ya got to about 160k's. still had the 4 cyl diff int it so thats as fast as it went lol.
1987 holden barina, went really well and i thrashed it for about 5? years til it blew the g/b and i traded it in.
1986 nissan bluebird, puss bucket granny car.
the good ol vauxhall viva, my first car and i handled all the things 15-16 year olds can do. ah the memories .
VE valiant, like a couch on wheels til ya got to about the ton, then it felt like the titanic lol i over revved the old 225 beating a cortina in a drag and sold it after that.
one of those sentra wagons that kwak loved. and just like him i liked it too although i dont think i drove it on gravel, done the wicked handbrakies tho. i done one from about 120k's and swung on the wheel HARD one night. (mad!!).
the good ol datto!! 120Y coupe, along with the mark 1 about the only cars i regret selling, i could zig zag the cats eyes on the open road at 100 k's in that. i used to get bored driving the 45 k's home at night lol.
hangs head and admits to owning a tredia turbo. fast wee car but......
i dont think that was as bad as the triumph 2000 lmao. what a piece of british motoring that was. why did i buy that?
mazda b1600 ute x2
mazda b2200 ute
a suzuki van, i used that as a woodbox when i was living near tuatapere on the edge of the fiordland forest. i would drive into the bush area, find dry wood, cut it and throw it in the van and park it by my back door. excellent!!
a vauxhall chevette good wee rally car. had that for the bush roads out at tuatapere. felt as tho it was flying being so small. but probly not!!
im sure i have missed a couple but they cant be worth remembering, like the bluebird diesel......that ran on waste oil haha
mark 1 cortina, i had a 2litre cortina engine and 5 spd supra g/b fitted in that, a real hoons car that was.
