Any Car Nuts Here?


UncleJay

Beautiful choices, both, Jay!

I love cars. I don't have any pics of my Subaru Legacy GT wagon but I'll tell ya what. A $600 ECU flash puts it at about 300hp and 300lb/ft at the flywheel and I *still* get 29mpg on the express way. Manual transmission, fun to drive and can still haul the new coffee table the wife just bought! Just about perfect, IMO.

I'd love a BMW 540 wagon, though. I wonder if they made any of those with a manual........?

Yes I am abit of a car nut. I used to own the DOHC Vtec civics in my teenage years, never got around to going on any track days unfortunately. I think my three favourite cars are;

Aston Martin DB5

Pagani Zonda F

Ferrari 250GTO

I think Audi have certainly made the top of my favourite brand list. Design is subtle, but performance and quality is on a par with the best. Don't get me started on the R8 :wub:

EDITED UncleJay, that is a beautiful Stingray! I have a second cousin in the US who used to own one. They are such a bnice looking car! What are they like to drive? Are they fairly reliable for their age?

After watching that movie "Signal 30" I stay as far away from automobiles as humanly possible, unless absolutely positively necessary. For me, the quality of a car is directly proportional to the amount of airbags it houses.

Lorraine will start up after weeks of sitting in the garage, with a deep sexy sound, hold you close, and love you .... as a lady always does. Really, she's a great driver and very reliable.

Both stunners Jay ...really hard to decide ...that Stingray is a real looker but the 750/40 (?) ...is very nicely pimped

I have a love hate relationship with cars ....love them ...but hate what they cost!!

Current ride is 540 M Sport - 2005

Had a 2003 330D M Sport which was by far my favourite ....the torque was awesome.

Had Audi TT , S3, BMW 320is Coupe all within the last 7 years.

My main issue is mileage / depreciation ...it's a no win siuation for me.

In the last 12 years I have clocked up over 1,000,000 Kilometers...I kid you not

Well I tend to stick with American Muscle seeing as I can work on just about any piece of it that should happen to break.

Mustang GT, some suspension work, built 10:1 compression motor with a 150 shot of nitrous. Could bring it to the track and run low 11's and still get 20mpg in the city.

My current car. Mach 1 full exhaust, 4.30 gears, tuned, and will hit high 11's. Still trying to stay n/a for a while and leave the factory suspension in tact for a while.

Great cars all guys, BTW I have a special place in my heart for Mustangs. My first car was a '69 coupe, followed by a McLaren, then a SALEEN, and finally had to go with a Thunderbird SC. Now I have an '07 Elanore as well ..... if my Son will ever park it. ;)
