    Doesn't burn any oil either all though it's got a small leak. The thing's never reving you see, 1900RPM at 100kay. Daily driven and is quite literally, better than new.

    Fuel economy? What is this "economy" thing you speak of?

    If you want a figure it averages 15L/100km on the dash daily driven, on a trip about 11.6L/100km.

    Goes from Papakura to Wellington on a tank (only just) and costs $130 to refill.

    We had a '63 2dr, back in the '60s - painted in Lotus Cortina colours - white with the olive green stripe and boot - it wasn't, but we drove it like it was.....

    Sorry but that supra is nasty. Very tacky looking, especially inside.

    They may have tried to invade Poland but the Germans make fantastic cars....
    Once I drove it, I had to have it... and I wont settle for any jap crap now!

    Modifying a car for performance is akin to polishing a turd

    That's not bad, my Pulsar averages around 16L/100km when driven sedately. $20=20km when driven moderately hard.

    $20 to go 20kays?

    I hope it's running a shitload of boost cause that means you're only getting 80 to 100 kays out of a tank of gas.

    That's if I'm driving reasonably hard. It's running 1 bar boost, soon it will be wound up to at least 17psi.

    Oh my. Not sure I should post this pic in here, you all have such "cool" cars. My first car was a 1965 Valliant AP5. If I win lotto I will go out of my way to source one and make it the yummiest car. Straight 6 that took no prisoners. 3 speed forward, one reverse. Went like a scolded cat Line locked, full throttle the smoke had to be seen to be believed

    No such thing as going straight around corners Tail out 4 wheel drifting was the norm Spun it out one day, I braked heading into a corner I had to you know, some fool had parked a car part way through the corner, I just knew I would hit it with the arse end of my bomb cornering normally

    http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/...7a8e5f2d_m.jpg

    Went like a rocket, was rust free (had a panelbeater mate that hand beat panels for her) Multi coloured then though, every time he fixed something it got sprayed a different colour. Eventually I painted her all over primer grey, man she was cool!

    Sadly dead, written off on the Royal Oak roundabout, by the young fella I sold it to, that did not listen when I said she was uncontrollable around corners.

    Obviously not my own car, but one suspiciously like it
    PS: stop talking about cars!
