I wonder what the future has in stall after the SLK! Nice tidy layout I must add - I like that, Ill keep it in the same format. Japanese Cars 1991 Toyota Soarer 4.0GT UZZ30 - Gold (Did not go down well with the folks for a first vehicle! Ha!) 1996 Honda Rafaga CS 2.0 - Red 1991 Toyota Soarer 4.0GT UZZ30 - FSG 1990 Toyota Celsior UCF11 - Bluish Gray Mica 1996 Toyota Soarer 3.0GT - FSG 1991 Toyota Hilux Surf 3.0 SSR 4x4 - Gray Metallic 1991 Toyota Soarer Limited UZZ31 - FSG (Current) 1994 Honda Legend 3.2 Coupe - Wine Red (Current) Certainly been a lot of fun when I think back. Thats through the last 3 years of driving. |

Yup, a stripped UZ30 with adjustables I'd like. Or maybe a 31, I wonder how it'd drift on air...? And do tell James!

Dunno, decided it prolly won't be the Silverado. Leaning towards 64 - 66 Ford Thunderbird, but wez shall see Whatever it is, it's gonna be a daily driver, coz in view there's no point owning it if ya don't drive it!

| *1991 VN commodore wagon (yay-sideways fun, till i plowed in an on-coming Rodeo = $2900 *1991 Holden Apollo (sv21 thingy), learnt manual on it..... went through a fuel pump, clutch and engine mounts through learning the hoon ways *1991 (or 92) AE92 Corolla SX seca (love that thing to bits, possibly best car ive owned) loved all 100kws @ flywheel + super loud exhaust *1991 Soarer JZZ30 this is the one car that has settled me down somewhat, ive hit a higher top speeds in the above 3 cars then the soarer? (yet the soarer will easliy get there in 1/4 the time) i think maturity and valuing my license is probably the case As Callum said, 92 (well 91' in my case) was a very good era in cars.... early 90's/late 80's rocked- . |
