nice colour choice bekavich

i had a corty that looked exactly like this one, i left the handbrake off and it slipped out of gear and smashed into a pole at the local shopping centre 

Fuck! that makes me wanna cry placco man!

i DID cry!! ever heard of someone crashing their car when they weren't even in it?

Oh fuck yeah! i know stacks of people that's happened to!

fuckn sweet cars.
seen one tubbed with skinnies on the front and what sounded like a very angry wankel under the bonnet
that woulda been a fuckn ride

any more?

My cars so shit it would break if I tried to take a photo of it.

Flave is that a GTI?

Pugs rock. We (family) had a 307HDI which we sold recently (cause the whole family was going overseas for ages).

Saw the new 308 as well as a few new concept cars in a Berlin showroom a few weeks back as well... Looks sweet.

Unfortunately this'll be my only ride on returning to Adelaide:

Good for long trips, comfortable, cost efficient (LPG)

But this particular ford has had a lot of cooling system problems 

Cooling system problems eh? Suspicious IMO.

Yeah I had to replace the entire cooling system and the welsh plugs at around 100 000 kms

Stupid Ford

Not surprising, I have never been able to trust the Welsh. They suck at Rugby too.

mines ok

It's finally time to part ways with my baby. She's been shedded for the last 2.5 years.

It's finally time to part ways with my baby. She's been shedded for the last 2.5 years.  :cry:

Sweet!

My Dad had one of them. With a roll cage and racing seatbelts and everything!

Then my Mum decided to test the roll cage by rolling it up in the Flinders Ranges.

Is that the Evo 4 they did in a hypo nutter yellow thing?

  Na, mate just an '00' STI.

here is my current car VRs2 V6, guna reaplce it soon for one that has a 3 pedals. I wana go VR again & would love to go V8 but....yeah V8 fuck you mr.oil man

There is a option that i could get a VT SS with the Gen3 & 3 pedals for under 20K only ever driven by a old man as well

Nitrous y'all!

Stupid AU Falcons

have you tried to check the trans oil of late?

yes, autotrans definitely needs a service!
[edit] --> and it is a BITCH to check trans oil levels   >: (
Doing it this month

3rd time since I have owned it
or perhaps it owns me?

Im not guna say get a holden because i lost count of how many commo radiators i have been thru but IMO the AU was the worst ford since clarksons GT40

Your car just sucks..

On the topic of fords however, Im a ford convert. I have found that fords are far more reliable than holdens. Ive owned a couple of holdens in the past and they all turned out to be pretty unreliable and always breaking down. Im now onto my third ford vehicle and they each have turned out to be pretty solid and easy to drive cars.
 
Who wants to drive a commonwhore anyways 

All in all though if you want a good car, buy European. I would, if my partner would let me.

Fuck driving a clapped out Holden Commodore around

Biggest regret he has. They are worth shitloads now

Nice ride Liberaci!

ewww..... I dunno... but a few years back reuben saw one on the news sell at a car auction for big bucks. He nearly had a heart attack

how long ago was that? xy gt's were still fetching huge cash over 10 yrs ago

Since we seem to be on the subject of dream cars heres a few of mine

VS GTS R sits at the top of my wanted list!

Yes i know itsa ford - but IMO its the best looking car ever made!

Austin Martin DBR9 this thing is nuts its a DB9 on roids i love it


I think this is the other end to the GT40 IMO its the worst looking thing ever but fuck who cares what a Veyron looks like

Im not sure actually, I might have to ask. But considering his age  , I would say he wouldve sold it over 15 years ago.

We saw what they were worth about 3 or 4 years ago.

i like cars with four wheels, an accelerator, and brakes. Oh! And cars where the rust hasn't eaten through the floor! i also like cars that go from A to B without breaking down. My preference for a vehicle is something sexy like a ferrari and not some minga-fat, fuel guzzling, carbon emission, over valued piece of metal. In perspective of my wages, i must admitt i'll never drive a ferrari unless i rented it for the day. And, i'd never drive a ford just because they suck! teehee! I drive a average late 2000, standard nissan pulsar, the enginge is great and very little maintainance, it dents a little too easy, but the most reliable car that starts everytime and definatly affordable to own outright and fill the tank! Practicality plus expecially with the crappy fuel prices. IMO 

Nice buy Rob. Through VW just north of town or private sale?

VW Medindie (Main North Rd)

Couldn't have been happier with the car (ex demo, great price), the service and the leasing arrangements.

Would certainly recommend the dealer, and VW cars in general.

My Dad's got an EOS convertible. Also a nice car.

Oli, my uncle just bought a brand new M3 so I'll be taking it for a spin on the weekend.

Will let you know what it's like.

Errrrr

Contradiction much?

Nice. Very nice! Don't see many of them about (in Adelaide).

@ playfulone... Ferrari fits 3 of the 4 "nots" you mentioned.

Corey mentioned that to me when I was back home. Nipper sounds well chuffed.

Me on the other hand, I am not leaving the UK without one of these.

Well can you get me one of these while ur at it please...

My cousin recently sold his I believe.

 


I especially liked this comment:


Good to see they have worked out what they like in a car.

 :lol:

really! i don't know my cars at all.  opps i got put in place! still dont like huge cars though. what about another really nice sports car that isn't fuel guzzling?

I think you'll find that the entire premise of a 'sports car' is built around driving hard and driving fast.

Driving fast means less fuel economy.

You want to save the planet, ride a bike.

Want to drive fast, buy a V8 BMW M3 and drive it like you stole it.

Godam i love those cars!! Bring back two? 

Was pumped when i saw this red Audi R8 being transported, then again being test driven near Solitare    One of the nicest looking cars to date I think

image not archived: Image068.jpg

I reckon all the new Audis look pretty sweet. One day I'll have an S8. One day...

I think I know what you mean...
image not archived: large_ToyotaPrius.jpg

that R8 is sick ive seen it round adelaide heaps lately

this was my first 79 rs2000, i currently am working on my yellow 2 door its in filters shed. 

image not archived: l_1841a188550694221f351d0ba3702cec.jpg

I saw one cruising round the city the other day, fucking HOT.

Define what you mean by "working on".

Probably means putting tape around it so it doesn't collapse into a heap.

I'm more interested in finding out when the last time the shed door was even opened.

love the old rs2000 tuff little cars for sure

just got the truck lowered...

image not archived: 2523_lowraider.jpg

I miss my truck *sigh*

nup coz i don't own one! 

Ohh a car thread 
Loving that Renault Gordini, they are a classic.

This is my car image not archived: car2-1.jpg
A Ford Escort RS2000, also a classic now 

your vehicle was a ute

this is a truck





im saving for an audi TT - hopefully before Im dead

I can call it a truck if I want, and you can't stop me!

sure you can, and i ride my harley to work everyday:

  I'm so going to put a harley sticker on a pushbike now.

Anyone else here like the old original minis. Morris ones, not crappy Leyland ones. I had a little cream mini C 1100 when I was on my Ps. It was a complete tank, handled like it was on rails. I had to keep a bottle of coolant in the boot though as the radiator being on the side near the wheel, not the front like most cars meant it tended to overheat. I remember driving it up Willunga hill to get to schoolies and having to coast back down the hill with no acceleration to cool it off. Back then it was roughly $10 to fill it with fuel too.

GOOD NEWS

the Dacia Sandero will be here soon

image not archived: Dacia-Sandero_2009_photo_03.jpg

is that a joke, or can the French make decent cars now or something?

I have a Euro trash car.. As much as I lurve it.. New Spark Plugs cost me $25 EACH! LOL

Renault Laguna
image not archived: 2008-Renault-Laguna.jpg

There def are nice, well made French cars. It's just that they cost so damn much here because of import taxes and the conversions aren't usually that simple and can cause problems down the track. I used to have a Renault 19 and it cost me $110 for a damn clutch cable plus $200 to get the thing installed just because it was nearly impossible to even get to where the cable was.

you obviously havnt downloaded any S11 top gear yet 

I have actually, fukn love the show.  I see it is a joke then 


In that case heres my dream car of yesteryear (as long as a back tire doesnt get a flat  )

image not archived: citroen08blg8.jpg

There's one of those Citreons at uni. Every time I see it, something else is broken!!

haha funny stuff

i had some new fuel lines fitted so now shes running again.

its my ongoing project for the next 15 years

We used to have one of those. Awesome little cars. My Dad (electrician) drove it to work when his van broke down. Ladder on the roof and everything. Indicators didn't work either. 

Those new Hyundai Diesel things are pretty decent. My mate has one. We drove from Rainbow (about 400ish k's away) to Adelaide and only used 1/4 of a tank.

Bugatti qualifies as French IMO

Peugeot *anything* GTI

Renault has made plenty of nice sport versions of their vehicles as well. I don't think they look as good as the German equivalents in the same class but for small sporty cars they're pretty cool IMO. For example the Clio sport.

Spent the last 3 days! lurking up the pics from the goodwood fest of speed here :-> http://www.supercars.net so many amazing cars at that show, shits on summernats IMO



I would never admit to driving one of those & to be honest admiting you like it ...well...yeah i think you need a ride in a GT-R or somthing

Renault  no thanks

Ill pay the Peugot comment

and Bugatti, OK you got me on a technicallity

 

Well I did put them in that order for a reason.

peugeot's rule!  i miss my little pug!

I wouldnt mind driving one of those huge F450 pick up trucks, just for a day.  Hard to the core.

Wouldnt wanna fuck with me if I had one of them, otherwise I'd just drive it straight through ya house! 

haha 

http://www.carsdirect.com/2008/ford/f450

grrrrr vroom vroommm

America... Fuk yeh! 

Guess who'd be doing the laughing after you visited a service station?

Pff....

I highly doubt the impact of the cost of petrol for one day would really phase any feelings I would have as I cause mass desecration with one swift mighty move of the F450! 

***Grunts***

Hahaha, nice one!

Gotta love Jimmy May.

GREAT!

Just booked a white stretch XY GT for the wedding next year! Wooo

Adelaides only GT Limo

want one
image not archived: 794463.jpg

awesome, i had that for my high skool formal in 92

Bogan much? 

Chuck a train of VB cans on the rear bumper while you're at it...

Those wheels are just begging to be stolen. And placed on a car that suits, like a black Hummer.

I wana get a supercharged hummer & just leave it running at the south pole, Global warming my arse 

My car...
image not archived: 3566273.jpg image not archived: 3566278.jpg

Tried to sell it before I left, but it's now sitting at my parents. Could have done with the cash, but I'm glad I've got her to come home to.

I'll take it for $5,000

  I laugh at you     

I think she's destined to stay with me. 2 weeks before I left, the door stuffed up (fixed now but).

Raced a Go-Kart Grand Prix @ Gepps Cross Kart Mania last night. (Came 3rd out of 12 people)

1 x 10 lap practise/qualifying session
1 x 10 lap race (qualifying order)
1 x 10 lap race (reverse qualifying)
1 x 10 lap race (reverse race standings order)

So sore right now but it was heaps of fun.
They've changed the circuit too for those who've been before.
No more inside bridge and the track has more corners, it is better for the layout change.

haven't done one of those  for ages, used to wake up hell sore the next day with a few bruises to boot!! great fun though.

The new Ferrari 458 Italia




Stunning

Ah OK. I should have known what an anti lag thing was. All the cars I drive (*cough in DIRT on PS3*) sound like they have those.


Surprised the dial didn't snap off at the end there.

I got my new car! Sure it's only a Hyundai getz but it's all good! 5 year warranty, can't go wrong! I'm calling it Black Betty, obviously as it's Black and partially because it's hella mean. 

I also was given free floor mats and a bottle of champagne as Stillwells stuffed something up. Hoorah!

We're going to be trading in our Soarer soon and, at this stage looks like we'll be getting a Holden Adventra.
Extremely excited to finally be getting something so much more practical!

Does anyone here know anything much on 4wd's?

I've decided against a troopy at the moment as my astra is getting a bit worn around the edges I'm going to get myself something that will be driving from Goolwa to Adelaide daily.

I'm eyeing off both the Suzuki Jimny and Vitara, just wondering if anyone has opinions on these (or common problems etc.) Initially won't be doing any serious offroading, just the odd muddy track as I'll look into modding it up at a later date.

On the Jimny I'm wondering how well the little 1.3 fares with driving up hills etc. (Willunga hill) I want something which is economical but still has some guts.

I've seen some well priced Grand Vitaras with low km's (all city runners by the look of it), but most have been 4 speed autos. Is this worthwhile getting if I want a bit of off-road or should I look solely for a manual. I'm sure I've read in places that people think the 4-speeds are ok, but who knows.

Overall I think I would rather the Grand Vitara due to the extra space and towing capability if it is needed.

Cheers.

Vitara's are great for the price you can get them for. I had a pretty decent Hilux and a mate had a Vitara there was nowhere I could go that he could not get that thang to go. he commented it was the best car he had ever had. I would go manual personally as i always felt you have more control especially when actually 4WDing.

What sort of money are you looking to spend mate?

I'm thinking somewhere between 10-13000, depending on whether it is private or dealer (with trading in an old car).

Cheers, they do seem like pretty good cars. Had a squiz on the 4wd Monthly forums and saw some which had been modded quite nicely.

*Edit*: Had a look at this car today. Sadly it doesn't have all the features that are listed.

I'm thinking 13,000 is a bit on the high side for a car with that many k's, although it was in excellent nick.

I dont know too much about vitara's, but jimny are  very capable little 4x4's.. also if you did want a toyota, a landcruiser bundera on gas also maybe a viable option.. SWB landcruiser..

enough about 4x4 my dream car right here, just wait till it hits 88mph
[video: www.youtube.com]

I had a Soarer before I left for the UK and sold it - loved that car. What year and was your's the 8 cylinder or the 6 twin turbo?

What are you doing in this thread Del?

This is Cars of Adelaide Massive, not Cars of Adelaide Strangers.

 

Back in your hole, and go fix your avatar Tone!

Don't worry, your safe. Ya Mum's not on AM.....yet.

I would love a landcruiser but it's not so financially viable to get one that is going to be used as a daily runner at the moment. There are heaps of Jimny's around for a decent price but it's not just engine that I'm worried about but also the size. I go camping a few times a year with two other people so a two door of that size will be pushing it. I am eyeing off one that comes with free camper trailer though.

yeah im hearing ya, I guess if its for just light 4x4in youd be right... sierra maybe another good one, way more capable than the jimnys or vitaras.. but like you said only a two door...

just get a H2 instead, theyre viable for everyone

Isn't she pretty?

Nice car Sal!!! have u named her yet?  Id go with Barney or Grimace if it were a boy! 

Her name is Jelly Bean

Gettin an RAA Inspection done on a 92 Nissan Pathfinder this week

Anyone had much experience with em??? Good or bad???
Haven't found too much in the way of reviews on them.

Nissan make quality cars mate. The inspection will uncover any nasties if there are any. Is it an import? Parts if it is are not really an issue any more as there are shit loads or jap spares around these days.Main thing with any 4wd is to check how much off road work it has done if you can (may be hard if its from a yard). Look for rust if it has been on the beach especially in behind the seals on the doors. Is it diesel or petrol?? if its diesel Kms are not really a concern and will go forever and be cheap to maintain and service.

good luck

Pretty sure it can't be imported as the pathfinder was released locally.

Whick model is it? ST, DX, Ti ?

4cyl or 6cyl?

If it's the 4 it'll be bullet proof (either SR20 or FJ20 iirc) - EDIT - The 4cyl is apparently the 2.4lt four-cylinder motor called the Z24. Very fuel efficient but also very underpowered from what I have read (relative to being a 4x4 so no towing your speedboad or caravan etc.)

If it's the 6 pay particular check the cooling system.

Check the trans/gearbox, flywheel, clutch which are the most common faults with Nissans

*** If there is a problem with the above WALK AWAY, I'm pretty sure they have to remove the engine to replace the gearbox/trans with this model. I know for a fact that the 300z and Bluebird SSS was designed in the same fashion, where to replace the trans/gearbox the engine has to be removed - design fail... ***

And like the dude b4 me said, check seals etc to check for signs of rust.

But in all fairness I'm guessings it's in the $3-4K price range?

You'd probably be able to get a rough "work horse" type one that some labourer has used for ~2K, if it's closer to 4K you should expect it to be pretty schmick IMO

AND...

If you can, fuck the RAA off and use Motacheck - www.motacheck.net
MUCH more thorough and reliable from what I have heard

This may help you as well:

Looking at a 3L 6cyl (which I think is a TI) 5spd manual with 240000ks for about $6500 from a yard.
Engine and trans felt pretty damn good considering the age but the steering had a fair amount of play in it.

Meh, I thought it was a private sale.

If it's a yard mebee look around the net for buyer experiences with the car yard in question.

For that cash you should expect it to be pretty tip-top

i just tried startin the rs 2000 yesterday - was low on juice so didnt quite go as planned!

So far over the last two days Reuben has been trying to talk me into getting this:

http://cars2.ebay.com.au/Ford-Falcon-XY-GT-Replica-351-V8-Auto-9in-Track-Red_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ170380335529

I would let him buy it if it was for sale next year but at the moment we have just too much spendings going on. Just wrong timing.

It's a bogan chariot anyway.

What a horrible bloody car that is. Would cost you $400 in fuel just to drive down the street and back.

Not to mention your dignity.

get some juice and turn her over. love rs's don't see fuck all of em anymore.

Nothing wrong with old GTs. Ford aus havent made any good cars since.

Fixed.

what about british fords?

I always thought the GT40 looked pretty mad. I think it was British-made.

im trying

their all probably not starting either - its now 30 years old

they are fucking sick. stand next to one and it ain't even over your waist line. as far as british fords go i'm a cortina, escort and capri man. don't mind the little anglia either.


you going to restore it?

its in pretty good nick already - just havent used it for 5 years so needs abit of love

timboh this is the red one i used to own , sold this and got a yellow 2 door

sweet. i thought all rs2000's were 2 door? 2 door is the way to go with all older cars

both mine have been 2 doors

australia was the only country to release a 4 door cause of the family bogans

I'll take one of these please...

You dont drive cars like that around 24/7. People buy those types of cars for some type of personal significance, not to go down the road and buy a carton of milk mate lol
 
Plus most people on here can dream all they want, I dont think many people on AM can actually say that own anything worth above 25k.

The original XY GTHO Phase 3 that won bathurst has the value above a million dollars.  Even though what I have shown you is a replica, the value will still improve.


See nothing against your opinion on cars or what you like- however I find the only people I have ever known to drive little cars like these are generally little asian dudes who sell drugs and have a stereo system usually nearly as big as the car. Either that or its a Chic's car with a playboy sticker on the back. Just doesn't impress me. Just isn't masculine.

Just my opinion however- others may feel different.

Talk about stereotyping!


Fixed for you.

For the record I like the look of old muscle cars like that but I couldn't resist lol.

Hell yes.

One of the all time great cars. So unbelievably fast.

There are very few cars out there that would beat a worked Cosworth.

Or people who like doing things like driving around corners of course.

Muscle cars have their place, and that was 40 years ago.


Ford's greatest contribution to the motoring world IMO.

My old man and a few mates have just started a classic car syndicate.

First purchase is a Jaguar C-Type replica which should be arriving sometime in December.



Even the replica is setting them back $150,000 although that is small change compared to what originals are going for.

Let's just say there are more than a few angry wives in the Barossa right now.

This is the sort of thing I hope to be doing when I'm an old man haha. Fkn good on him I say!

 Syndicates are where it's at right now.

They all go in for joint ownership? Is that how it works?

I mean, how does that work if someone in the syndicate passes away? Who takes on the portion of the asset? Next of kin or the rest of the syndicate? What if there is loans involved. Sounds too complicated IMO and some solid legal contracts would need to be sorted first with that type of sharing of assets. And what if one of the members crashes the car? Disappointment for the rest of the mates


hahah Bogan and proud bogan and proud

The people involved in the syndicate are all rather well off so I'm pretty sure there aren't any loans involved.

Shannons are insuring the car for free in return for using it on adverts and the like so that covers that side of things. The syndicate has a lawyer and there are quite strict rules regarding the use of the car so from what I can tell they have everything covered.

It is more as an investment than as a car to drive anyway.

Yeh you would want legalities sorted first, as if anything went wrong (fallings out, car accidents etc) then there would be a few unhappy chappys.

Probably not a bad time to get into it really. You'd assume with the way the financial world has been for the better part of a year, you could pick up some pretty good "bargains" at the moment.

This is my beast...

Definitely go the Golf.

One of the guys in QLD has an Elise and after 3 months he is ready to sell it as the novelty has worn off.

And it'd suck as a daily driver since it sits so low. Getting in and out would be a bitch.

Golfs own.

Can we get Polo GTIs here? I've never seen one.

Definitely go the Golf.

One of the guys in QLD has an Elise and after 3 months he is ready to sell it as the novelty has worn off.

I was worried about the novelty factor also. It's not an uncomfortable cockpit to spend a bit of time in, and it's easily the best handling car I have driven to date, but the lack of space and low centre of gravity would make it a challenge to live with daily.

I took the Golf GTI up to Hahndorf on Monday. Those Germans certainly know how to build a car.

Golf r32? Pretty damn awesome.

my gf's parent had one of those. leather and electric everything, sunroof... thing was real smooth. nice choice...

Nadia-pulse has one too, damn nice car, even if I do have an obsession with VW's.

Golf r32? Pretty damn awesome.

Nice work mate! Thats a tidy looking cb400. Its amazing how popular these things have become again. I am also into vehicals of the two wheel variety again (got 2x dirtbikes) and planning on building my first triumph bobber, hoping i can make it to similar design as this thing..... although i am not expecting the first to be quite this quality, this one is built by one of the best custom builders getting around.

I found a frame last week, still needing motor out of a old bonneville, hard to find complete motors so it looks like a ground up build is the only option.

Heaps of guys in japan are making bobbers using the cb400 motor though.

Yeah that's sweet.trumpy motors are pricey ay!
Got another 400/4 in the build at the moment.frame is done.will be rolling by end of the year,engine build in the new year.will be a cafe racer style.

Jeez Bothy ya post whore.

She is beautiful.

Girl inside included?

She's owned me for a while now.

Nice one Leezee.  Did you go and see the other one too?

Yeah I went to see three in the end, the other two fell far short of my expectations. They looked good on the internets but had a few issues.

Cool, happy birthday by the way too.

Cheers!

I see yours and raise you....

lol

Hi Nadia

Watercooling is just a fad....

 

Just got the car back after all the upgrades

Cool. What happens if there is a Yaris in front of you though? Does your third party insurance cover you if you accidentally drive over one without noticing?
