Where are they now? Archive of lost V3M'ers

Off for a 1200km round trip in our DD to France this morning for a long weekend - fresh oil, new ignition bits, kids in the back and we're off

As long as Bosal keeps supplying my 360 with exhausts and my welder doesn't decide to flee the country I'll be faithful to my car for quite a bit longer

I'm in the 'cant bear to part with it, but can't be arsed with using it as a daily atm' category. Using another car is much easier as I can get things on the 360 done at my own leisure rather than making sure it's ready for work the following morning!

Bosal... meh, get a stainless system if you plan on keeping the car for the long haul!

Theres nothing wrong with using them as daily's, you're all just wusses. Fake doesn't need any work aside from servicing really now (ok, lately..., and having said that she'll prolly have a paddy) but I'm still abusing her (as people at the SBKV saw

) and expecting her to return good MPG.

Think she knows she's in the good books atm, all the time she's working, I don't need to go and finish Kar, so it's in her own interests really

Must be wusses!!!! dont know of many other uses of australan 360s besides daily driving so wtf are you all complaining about. Just coz you can buy newer rusted cars for under 1k spoilt lot

I don't drive 360 daily, it is because I don't like to put this much miles on it, for that I got 240, ~60 000km in year wears car you know

Well, really it was because faulty oil seals, but also I have found out that 240 has much better load carrying ability too.

I hope to get 360 running for summer though

Yep the running again bit is an aim here too

I use my 340 as a daily driver, just like my mum before me and my grandfather before her lol. Such a faithful little car. The car might even outlive me as long as i look after her lol, maybe ill give it to my son one day, carry on the tradition.

We will miss you

I'm using the turbo as a daily driver.

Since the last summer only thing gone wrong has been the alternator so pretty care-free driving.

Of course I've replaced other parts too but not because they would've been faulty. Mostly uprating stuff.

I thought you sold the turbo Fuse? Do you still have the kitted one?

The GL was sold, which was actually my fathers car, though he didn't drive it much at the last year. GL was sold mainly because I don't have time or space to fix it anymore it was so badly rusted. Luckily the guy who bought it was a welder in profession..

I've still got my own red GLT turbo and I don't see myself selling it very easily.

I actually added a kind of a project topic on to the accessories&tuning area. Kind of a project topic because I usually get things done slowly.

But I thought it's better to compile updates in the one topic rather than posting many random ones as I've done before.
