badmotogoozer Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 And in Vancouver I own a 1965 Chevy Corvair. It's a 2.5 litre rear engined flat six soft top 75375[/snapback] Brother!! I've had 3 'Vairs! The early ones were deth traps but the 65 and up were wonderful little cars. I had a 66 Corsa - 4 carb 140 HP. Wicked little car. Also had a 61 Greenbrier (van version). Never had so much fun in a vehicle in my life as I did with that death trap. I think I still have a case of oil filters somewhere in the garage... cheers Rj
jrt Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 I'm wit' Carl- Toyota Prius. I also have a old '82 Chevy pickup. Beat to hell and it looks it, but it runs great.
Duecavalli Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Just joined. I have ordered a Griso. However, I own a new Triumph Bonneville America and just purchased a Mini Cooper S. I was going to buy a Thruxton, but instead opted for the Italian Iron. Always drove Alfa's and Fiats. Does being married to an Italian count?

bigbikerrick Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 I have a 97 F-150 extended cab for rainy days ( It never friggen rains in Arizona!) thats why it only has 55K miles on the odometer. My wifes car is a 99 Camry, we also have a 2001 nissan altima. The last car I had that I was really enthusiastic about was a 1986 SAAB turbo. now , Im into bikes for fun, cars are just a "tool".
Admin Jaap Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 We have a Renault Trafic van and a Mazda 626 (GF's) Last week she saw an Alfa Romeo 147 and thought it was a cute car! Saturday I picked one up for a short spin. The jury is still out...
grossohc Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Wifes car is a renault scenic (she picked/paid for it ).

dlaing Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Toyota Matrix color matched silver to my V11S. Lotsa headroom, stereo, inside is dry when raining, can carry up over thirty bricks, seat folds down for fun sort of economical, low emissions, reliable, and Automatic, just in case I break a leg.
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 71 hornet 401 project car 75429[/snapback] Nice! My favourite AMC wheels after the Rambler Scrambler!!
mdude Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 my filosophy is that if fun is had on two wheels, it should also be had on four. Why suffer when driving a cage? And having fun on roads like ours in winter means 4wheel drive. So I have one of these, Audi Coupe Turbo Quattro 20V pic is the actual car). Classic, completely unbreakable and still way too fast for me. What could replace it? Looking forward to next weekend, 230 miles skitrip on rotten snow and ice. Gung ho!

Murray Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 97 Ford Falcon staion wagon, I don't think they could of sucked the life out of the driving experince any further hate to think what the auto is like. By far the most modern and expensive car I have owned, which gives you a window into the heaps I normally have had. Redeming features it will tow and carries lots of stuff without been a complete barge to drive, excellent for getting supermotard to the track with affiliated gear that goes along with them. I drive 78 series landcruisers for work If I never drive one again it will be too soon, there was no way I was ever going to get a 4wheel drive for everyday. No my car doesn't match my bike I've actually nick named it the fridge, its a big white box and as intresting to drive as my fridge. Buts thats ok having a average car allows more to be spent on odd brand bikes that no one has heard of.
