    Life's too short to be driving boring cars

    . . .Was the number plate surround of some red A'mercan 60s supposed muscle car. As I rode past I ruminated "Ya know mate, - I was thinking the very same thing"

    I assume he was thinking his car was somehow excluded from that statement. But the sun was shining & with an offbeat triple 1050 reverberating past him, I wouldn't have changed places for a chance to slap Nick Smith.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Too right, although I don't really consider my V8 coon boring (V8, good stereo, good A/c, ideal open road cruiser) I'd take my Falcons over any high maintenance shit box, fuck all goes wrong with them and when/if it does it costs bugger all and takes bugger all to fix.
    In saying that I've got a 4wd which keeps me busy and a 56 Chev under resto. The motorbike is what I look forward to, and enjoy using the most.

    I will see your Camaro and raise you a mustang.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    The half bumper is my favourite 'maro. Possibly my favourite 'murkin tank. I have a hard spot for the early 70's Buick Riviera too

    Cars are for carrying crap in. If I had the moolah to buy a 4 wheeled "toy" for jollies & japes the Aerial Atom is at the the top of the list. Big, bruising v8's have appeal but are knuckle draggers. While your sat there going phwoar at the roar & the smoke when you floor it, the wee Atom is lining up the next apex at warp speed.
    Not knocking, the bruisers turn my head too but for the same money, if i had it, I would have more go than show.
