Hello all,
I'd just like to introduce myself and my car 
I'm a fat happy little womble, that lives in the city of New Plymouth on the West coast of the North Island of New Zealand.
I'm normally quite shy, but my group counsellor has said that I MUST be more assertive and out going, as it's not healthy to keep those pesky emotions bottled up for too long (sigh).
I have been a member since November 2004, which seems like a long time, but I can only measure this in bottles of Bourbon consummed thus far (65 since joining!).
My theropist says this is good for me, AND I AGREE  .
I bought my pulsating-pile-of-pachyderm-poo Snoarer just prior to joining, and life's not been the same since...........I'm no longer just the typical Kiwi who "eats roots shoots and leaves", but am now a fully fledged fluffy-bum in a world wide community of like minded earthlings, it's GREAT!.
I may NEVER be normal again  Yay me!
Now onto the car-car: It's a SOARER, yeah REALLY, who woulda guessed  .
It's a 1991 UZZ30 (or so I'm told  ), I'm very new to this sorta thing, and don't have much knowledge about mechanical things, but I'll learn, I guess (sigh). It's painted a funny sorta greeny colour, I'm told it's called Teal, but it dosen't look like a Duck, so I'm blowed if I know  .
It's got a V8 engine thingy, which I'm told is quite rare, so I'm well pleased (I always was a closet snob!), and it's ortomatic, which again I believe is quite rare, as most of these things were man-u-al.....Noice....!.
It's been a complete bottomless pit, and I'm ALWAYS having to spend money on the pile-o-crap to keep it on the road (they won't let me drive on the footpath  ).
But I love it bits........lots of bits......friggin things keep falling off of it all-a-da time, buy hey who cares, it's Sooooo much better than my last car.......a 1958 Skoda Oktavia, which I thought was pretty choice  .
OK enough with the words already, I'll post up some pics if I can figure out how to do it, coz I'm kinda new at this whole inter-netty thing. Sorry if the car's a bit rough compared to ewes guys wunz

That is plain awful. You have removed those pretty standard wheels and put i-dont-know-what on instead. Shame.
And paint it pink to make it really shine.

All ya need now is the US Lexus head unit to go with
Has LEXUS in pretty gold writing on the front of it too.
Seriously they are not too expensive and you could probably get them in from US of A cheaper than I can ((US$99 to $130 + freight)
Don't know how you can bear to drive around in a car the same colour as Hayden's TT |

Yeah, I know. But I'm not a huge music fan, and can't be bothered getting a 6/12 stacker at the mo.
But having said that, If one (that worked) came up at a realistic price, I'd probably go for it as well as the Lexus head unit, coz as you said "Who cares about AM reception........christ, I haven't listened to an AM wireless for friggin donkey's years |

You could probably do the lot with the head for around $400 which is maybe a bit much but you would have a Factory GOLD LEXUS logo in the cabin  |

And on a further related note: TEAL IS the ONLY colour worth having on a Soarer...........in my NOT SO HUMBLE OPINION!.
(it's MY opinion, WHICH coincidentaly IS the ONLY opinion worth listening to).
Coz I said so

There's something old and distinguished about that colour. Just like it's owner .... except the last bit.
