I've owned a fuel/oil guzzling Holden Commodore V8, and one with a straight 6, a Datsun Bluebird with triple SU carbs, and one without. A Toyota Tarago with a 8000W stereo (stolen!) and a Nissan '65 4X4 with no floor, clutch or 2nd gear (first car. It lived in a creek bed...) I think that's it, I'll be getting another 360GLT asap and I'll put a 10A turbo in it, just for shits and giggles... But I gotta fix my 360GLT first.

I got a 30ft alloy cruiser with a KAD42B which is my work boat, I'm a fisherman. Anyone want some spanner crabs? and a ford ute to pull the dory with also atm.

How does a jag xj40 drive? I really would like such a machine, but I don't hear to many good story's about the quality (not that I could affort to drive one...)

Post by **biggbn** » 13 Jan 2006 04:33 am

..dont believ the hype...they are wonderful, woefully undervalued cars...i paid £650 for mine, always garaged, 106k miles, fsh, yr mot and tax..it drives like new even after 17 years, looks the business and makes me feel great..i love to look at it and be seen in it...and i'm averaging 22mpg...up to @28-30 on longer runs and as low as 14-16 round town...oh and the one i'v just bought for spares cost £80...and it still goes!! watch out for rust, bushes, rust, tyres, rust and dodgy electrics...oh and rust.....[/img]

I can think of a couple who might be up for that challenge. I'm not one of them...

I've not looked in here before...my list is very boring...and in my sig. Having said that I've driven / played with / decided I didn't want a great many more.

cheers
