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 totally disagree. Very little good comes out of governments all around the world manipulating everything they can and usually the people are not the benefactors. What you say about being restricted and expensive sounds almost like the arguments against firearms and why banning them will protect people as if making something illegal somehow will prevent the criminals from having and using them. AI being far less mainstream could simply mean the average person will not benefit, but "big brother" and the corporations will benefit, which is almost for sure NOT a good thing.

    • "connect with audiences" is the most obvious corporate speak you can think of. I only bought Need for Speed from EA because it was the only racing game with cops in existence and I dig that. Now that they killed off NFS franchise, I have nothing to spend money on. EA is officially dead for me, just like Ubisoft which I've been boycotting for some 20 years now...
