98 volvo v70 black station wagon, a complete hearse of a car, drives like a beaut. Not fast, not fast at all, but it gets me from A to B in some weird style.

A black 1.3L Toyota Echo with 16" Sportivo alloys, lowered springs, custom air intake and rear strut brace. Four wheels and an engine... just like an F1 car! :P

Taken it onto Eastern Creek raceway once doing 130 km/h along the pit straight (or about 100 km/h less than every other car it seems).

Hehe...just fitted a K&N Indictuion Kit, had a sports CAT fitted, nu muffler box and exhaust manifold. Lots more engine response...not much more power though...

...then again what would you expect from a 1.1 Ford Fiesta LOL!

1985 Mazda RX7 and 89 Subaru Chaser--_ don't drive often anymore--I no longer have the ability to suspend disbelief--and convince myself--that sharing the roads with other's is anything but folly. I also have odds and ends in the back alley and side of the house that need restoration. I still have a dream---of building a 3-wheeler.

I have a 2000 Dodge Stratus, 2.4L. Nothing fancy, but it's been reliable so far.

Alpine Renault A110 1300S (Avatar or google ), Alpine Renault GTA V6 Turbo & Suzuki GSXR750WX - otherwise a Landrover Defender 90 & a shopping trolly 'coz none of the above ever seem to be working :D

Carlos - I think 3-wheelers can be really cool if done well; what have you got in mind?

PS Carlos - your Avatar - GPL?

Ford Focus TDI with big brakes and lots of lift off or left foot brake overstear :shock: but only when my wife and boy are not in the car :?

Looking at resurecting my racing career with a twin engined gokart and endurance racing once a month :D because I am driving too fast on the open road again :oops:

A 1997 Bmw 318i. Efficient, pragmatic, awsome suspension/brakes and looks great (all stock, OEM)
Waiting for that 330Diesel to come this way (Canada) so i can have more power than i do now 240 vs 140hp (not to mention tripling my torque) and better fuel efficiency. Is that possible?
Then i can pretend i'm blasting down the Mulsanne straight, revving it to an incredible 5000rpm (just like an Audi R8 diesel) which is closer to reality than pretending to be driving an F1 car. I would have to buy an M5 for that.
Cars owned in past - 79 mini, 78 triumph spitfire, 84 Bmw 318, 1963 Oldsmobile 98

1998 GMC C-1500 3-door SLE 5.7 litre (350), truck, 158,000 miles
2002 Volvo S80 2.9, 50,500 miles
1989 Ford/Saleen Mustang 5.3 (331) Turbocharged, 41,000 miles
1979 Porsche 930 3.4, 36,000 miles apart for restoration---eventually.
1972 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster, 350/4-speed, 88,000 miles with no sign of maintenance in the last 10 years. No big fan of Corvettes, this one said "Save me," so the Volvo lost it's spot in the garage.

I sold the old AX :cry: so now I have a nice meaty Citroen ZX 1.9l. I've only raced it once and I beat my boss in the same car. very pleased. Great for left foot braking too, needs more grip at the front though.

She's not road legal but for autotesting she's well up to standard. Thats my third car and I still haven't got a liscence yet.
