What Car Do You Own?

[EirePlane]

although not officially mine yet, a (I think) Peugeot 205.

I think the car is older than I am...

and it doesn't work

Shakes from the engine or while driving? It may be out of alignment, me old culass had a problem with the shakes around 78mph and then after a little crash I got it aligned and now its fine up through about 92 with a little rattle between 82 and 87.

78!!! my car rattles @ idle and it's rpm at one point was 250 and forget the freeway.

Very nice car man, almost as cool as a 1969 Camaro.  

Nothing beats a first generaton Camaro-trust me...from one owner to another.    8)

ya they ruined the camaro after 69

I don't know about that, I really like most of the years but for different years.  I absolutely love the 1970-73 RS cars, I think they have a really badass look.  Although, the '69 is the nicest looking year by far (if not the nicest looking car every built-certainly the most popular American Muscle Car).

I like most of the years though, except for a couple years in the mid 1970s (like 1974-77) and mid 1980s (1984-87, I think those were the years with no 350  :'().

My 'Daily Driver', Eunos MX6 Astina, a near to new 'grey import' fronm Japan.
My Better Half's 'Daily Driver', a really new Eunos MX5 ..... :-/
My 'Weekend Warrior and General Money Pit', a Ford GT40 Replica 'built by me', it's not the real thing but it's close, it also cost me A$280.00 to fill it up yesterday!
My own 'Get away from Everyone' ride, a Ducati 916SPS that I've owned from new for 5 years ....... I'm going to have it cremated with me when I go ...... not for sale, EVER!

Hairdressers or mid life crisis car

I'd use the Duke ALL the time if the roads were clear of those dumb SUVs and similar 4WD rubbish.

OTH .... it cost around A$35,000.00 new and the resale value is about double, maybe I'll just keep it for Sunny Sundays and club days at Philip Island.
And it's a 'must ride' for the MotoGP weekend .......

[wombat666]

The 916SPS is THE one to own, it's the homologation special for the SBK winners and only a few hundred were built .....  8)
BTW Matt, 'Madame Lash' would be not pleased to have her MX5 called a Hairdresser's Car or even a Mid-Life Crisis device.
It gets raced on a regular basis in club events and she's never out of the top 10!
I'm just grumpy with her as I don't even get a drive on the road on a nice day! :-/
She's been looking long and hard at a Honda SR2000.
It seems to have more 'tuning potential' for her competition ambitions.
It's her money .........  ;D



Day One ....fresh out of the paint shop.

[Gixer]

Loving that GT40 replica, especially the colour!!  8)

My daily car is a Peugeot 306 Gti-6.  Dont see many around on the UK roads where I live which I like.  Its not super fast, has about 170hp does 135mph I guess, but its trump card is its handling, its great fun to drive  ;D

Other vehicle I own is a Suzuki Hayabusa  ;D  That thing is faster than fast  8)
