| Well you can't drive your soarer all the time.. So here's a chance for a show 'n' shine on what else you've got to move you around. 1977 LX SS Hatch, worked 308, supra 5 speed, 9 inch LSD, the usual torana stuff. Came off the road to have a bit of work done to it, then I bought the Soarer. One day I'll get around to it..
1990 Kawasaki ZZ-R250, an absolute extreme machine... it was free, alright? Rebuilt the carbies, new clutch, new chain, gears, tyres and brakes, and presto, good as new bike. Uses less that 1/3 the fuel of the soarer, so gets me to work and the occaisional ride.
1979 GE Sigma. '$199' was plastered across the windscreen in white-out at Cheapies car yard. It sits 100mm off the ground thanks to Makita Performance work on the springs. How could I say no? Great for leaving where you don't care what happens to it. Also great for lending to people you don't like.
And a group photo (minus the bike)

| I'll be honest, the colours have all been coincidence, but for some reason I always end up with greyish blues or greens. I have two other project toranas as well, one's metallic turquoise, the other's cobalt blue. My car before them was red though... |

| I only have my Soarer and my bike now, as my daughter has bought my VT Commy now she has a licence. My missus is now driving the Soarer. I am playing with my bike at the moment adding things.

| This is my other car ride: http://soarercentral.com/sc-forum/messages/289/36993.html?1136858893 It has just had a short argument with a kangaroo (not in my hands). Damage appears to be limited to the bumper and one headlight washer, so far as the car goes. The pictures were taken earlier of course. A blue Citroen Xsara and grey VW Polo make up the children's shares of the family metal collection. |

| This is our other car. Uses a lot less petrol than the Soarer and even has a Soareresque digital speedo.

Kinda like the Soarer... black, turbocharged, rear wheel drive, but 6 gears (Soarer could match that soon). |
