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. :-)

1996 Honda Rafaga CS 2.0 - Red

1991 Toyota Soarer 4.0GT UZZ30 - FSG

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!

1996 VS Berlina 5L

*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- :-) .

1 My first car Daihatsu Charade - got off folks for free, sold after 6 months
2 1990 Celica GT-Four - Still have, in the process of selling
3 1993 Ford Festiva - My bunky for driving around and not racking kms up on the nice car ;)
4 1991 UZZ31 Supercharged and Intercooled - My latest (and greatest) car! :-)

That's it from me, a short and sweet list! Loved my Celica to bits and never thought I would sell it but after this Soarer came along, well lets just say I don't think I'll EVER regret letting it go.
