What do you drive?

I bought a new car last week. It's a 2000 AUII Falcon S, manual. Basically the S-pack added better suspension (XR suspension, IRS was optional. I don't think mine has IRS) which made it sit lower and have better handling, body coloured grille, spoiler and S decal. The engine is the same as the Fortes and Futuras.

It's got a Tickford Momo steering wheel, a larger exhaust and after market alloys. I'm getting it converted to LPG at the end of this week. Petrol is too expensive for me.

When I can afford it I'll probably get an exhaust manifold put on to complement the exhaust. I also need to save up and get a new stereo and speakers. The CD player has crapped itself so I can only listen to the radio :(

Fiat panda 750. It's now in it's 23rd year, i recently had replace the vacuum cap for the ignition and i guess the rearbrake shoes need replacing. Still does 130/140 km on a flat road (can't be sure the needle trembles between the 2 numbers). For the rest only oil and tires in the 10 years i've got it. Cost me 500 euro.

my old car, and one of my favorite cars that I have owned, and the reason behind my screen name (sc302 = supercharged, 302 cubic inch engine, if you couldn't figure that out) (sold 2 years ago)

Black 95 Ford Mustang GT

Full power (doors, drivers seat, windows) yes this was all the power options in 95

Major Modifications:

Vortech Supercharger (10 psi)

GT40 heads

B303 cam

Holley Systemax Intake

30# injectors (starved the engine, needed 42's or 50's)

255lph Holley Forced Induction Fuel Pump

50 GPH Trex helper pump

3.73 final gear (now 4.10's)

spec stage 3 clutch

Man do I miss that car.

420 rwhp on a dynojet, guessing around 450-475bhp.

12.1 sec 1/4 mile time as of last year by the new owner

It was dirty when I took these, but you get the idea

My usual position at the car. 75 caddy eldorado, 500 ci, 472 ci heads, torquercam, dual edelbrock carbs, edelbrock inletmanifold, halfopen pipes. Tore straight up a mountain without noticing it.

Emptied the tank after 80 miles at full speed, which i really don't know because the gauge stopped at 110.

Drowned sadly in an underground carpark after a flood. 3 weeks later i managed to get it going after they drained the parking. Drove it out of the parking where it caught fire and died.

Why is it that Ford doesn't ever sell these things in the US. There are many very cool Fords made around the world that the States never get.

    • I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.
    • If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
    • I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it
    • Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
