CARS You drive, are they really an extention?

[humble]

LOL, going on from the pictures thread where a debate (silly one at that) has emerged regarding certain aspects of the male anatomy and the cars we drive, I thought It would be fun to share some pics or even tell everyone what you drive.

Being fighters one would think because we are tough guys or gals we drive equivalently tough cars.

Personally I love the V8 muscle car era anything pre 81 to 60s. Thank God my wife is the same. Accordingly the family car is an 81 XD fairmont ghia in mint condition, although I love XA and XB coupes. The Xd will get all the donor running gear from an xf I have which is stroked 10 378 cubic inches.

SO go, on tell us what you drive or post a pic.

Okay I'll speak for Promoboss and me!

Promoboss drives a dual cab Toyota Hilux 4WD an I drive a Holden Astra convertable.

Pic's to come Promboss can do that!

Good thread Humble the pictures thread was getting a little off topic!

I dont think of cars like that, I think they are more a reflection of personality.

Most people think that my car a 89 Jaguar XJS 5.3lt V12 is not a chicks car and that two exhaust pipes and 5.3 litres of engine is far to big for a girl <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>.
But I love it, although its still not quite fast enough...<img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>

I drive a magna, but only out of necessity. My love is bikes and I am currently riding a HondaVTR1000 Firestorm - Ferrari Red with very load pipes <img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>
Bikes are much smaller than cars, so what does that say about me?

I love them 300Z T.T.'s Madjack, beautiful car when they arent ruined with aeroplane sized rear wings etc.
I drive a Toyota Soarer, it's a twin turbo in line 6, it dosent have as many features as the 4.0 litre V8 version but it's faster and alot more fun to drive, i'd post a pic. but I cant work out how to do it, dont laugh, i;ve been hit in the head.

[Imsta]

DazMon,

Do you have any enemies? With your cars it’s probably the number plate, it’s too obvious for people. I recon it’s probably the guy who call himself same.same on this bulletin? The bloody idiot was giving George, you and I a hard time. It is so childish and immature for people to behave like that. I extremely disappointed when these things happen.

When I use to live in Springvale my car get broken into all the time, but my tires have never been slashed. If your car got broken into I would understand that it’s probably a junky trying to get some lose change. All I can say don’t worry, I have to put up with a lot sh!t every time I start promoting show. I guess when people become so passionate about their sport, they take it too personally.

They can try slashing my elephant car, but be warn this car fight back. Lol.

yeh I know, but thing is, he breaks the stereotype when he plants his foot............ its a turbo and he drives it like one too.

it's a bit hard to read the speedo from the boot!



p.s. not my ride it's from a mad max collector this is the original interceptor that has been rebuilt from the scrapyard.

[humble]

or is it the TOE CUTTER? sheesh been a while might have to reload ol maxy

[Downcut]

Ahh what a beast Mad Max's car was...in the eyes of a kid growing up anyway. Who could ever forget the whine of that blower and when he used to turn it on with a flick of a switch on the shifter to get away from all those goons chasing him.

I guess I owe the movie something, even though the blower was fake, I still think and blower hanging out of the bonnet is the ultimate, and that's coming from a 4cyl turbo owner.

The Interceptors were the Blue and Yellow XB's used by the cops in Mad Max.

[humble]

lol thanks promo.

downcut, Only milk and juice come in two litres. get ya self some bent iron. :)





Dont mistake my harshness for strength and neither mistake my kindness for weakness.

[Downcut]

And only cheap wine comes in 5 litres! haha
I love them all though, will have a tough V8 one day, but for now enjoy blowing them away :)
Have heaps of mates like you Humble, pure V8 heads...it's what makes it fun. I generally like the older cars but like newer technology.

[humble]

Im not a "pure" v8 head. My last project was a 4.1 turboed xf. Ran 11.9 on streets pushing only 14psi.

however, note the capacity hehehe<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Dont mistake my harshness for strength and neither mistake my kindness for weakness.

[promoboss]

hey don't get me wrong I love both types the musclecars & the little rice burners for thier technology & handling specs.
Now if you mixed the 2 together what a wicked ride that would be.
MAD MAX cross with FAST & FURIOUS
p.s. the engine in the XB was real in the movie.

humble I've got mad max on dvd do you want me to bring it friday night?

[DazMon]

Yeah, and just how do you turn on a blower?????

+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Oooooh Yeah!
+-+-+-+-+-+-+

[promoboss]

there are 2 types of blowers ; 1 uses an automatic clutch type system which is loved by the rta & other types.
2 is the manual type as portayed in the movie this is manually actived at a set rev range not to stuff your engine up and flush away all your hard spent $$$$$$$$$.
The first type have the new style which is the full under bonnet 1's like holden use now an off beat type of turbo style build which is kept out of sight from the bluies.
2nd type is just a fuel drinker not very economical on the street had on on a hq once many years ago @ top speed fuel went at 3.5l to 1km not real good on the hip pocket.
If you want more info get in touch with harls he is the man about cars.

[humble]

LOl was just about to reply the same as you did promo.

hmm good to see we have petrol heads here

Dont mistake my harshness for strength and neither mistake my kindness for weakness.

[Downcut]

Promoboss, the blower was fake, there was an article on it recently in Australian Muscle cars. It was a fake carby as well, it was made of tin! totally for show

Humble, apologies! I judged you by your "2 litre slogan"
Good stuff, the Ford 6's respond real well to turbocharging. They don't rev hard but produce plenty of torque.
Shouldn't have got me started on cars....I won't stop!

[promoboss]

DC Sorry mate I was going off old info from street machine days.
But I do know that the original has been rebuilt with one that works.
"When do I start making boost?
The amount of boost and the RPM at which boost starts is controlled by the throttle, blower size and drive ratio, engine size, camshaft profile, and exhaust system. All of these factors determine the breathing capability of the blown engine. Boost should only be measured at wide open throttle at 6,000 RPM. If there is only part throttle, the blower cannot get enough air to overcome the demands of the engine. Only when the blower can get enough air will there be boost.taken from bds website

[Downcut]

That's cool. The original car is displayed in a museum in England,it was destined for the scrap heap and damaged before someone restored it.
It broke me in Mad Max 2 when he rolled it and it blew up :(

Check out carsofthestars.com

[promoboss]

dc goto www.madmaxmovies.com it gives a full history of the coupes rebuild and afterlife. so you can get all the goss

Hey Dazmon. Yeah was in the carpark in Japan... Didn't want to post a pic. with plates (OZ) My mate imports cars and I did all the running around. Roadworthy was bugger all (luckily) car cost about $4k (from Japan) about $6k on the road!
