Petrol Heads
This is my current car
Nice!!!!
I’ve got to do a drive by like that with mine, though it sounds nothing like that!!! it makes almost the same amount of noise with half the cylinders. First time I was shamed at a set of traffic lights was by a VE ute. It looked all bling and doof as I pulled up, as I took off the ute hesitated then launched!!!!! It must have taken under a second to go from 20 - 80kmh. When I eased off at 80 the ute was about 50-100m a head.
Don’t have a car at the moment but love my cars.
From 2004-2009 I had this car.. turned it from a stock standard corolla into one of the crazier ones out there. Ran a 13.6 quarter mile on street tyres and had the potential to run quicker.
Sold it in June 2009 which I still kind of regret..
Bought this as a replacement, it’s a Toyota Chaser. Japanese import which was never sold locally. Basically a camry on steroids.. 2.5L straight six turbo, factory manual, LSD, coilovers, exhaust.
Just bought this little Subaru RX on Saturday, nothing flash but enough room for the boards and girl(s) 
1st time ive driven one, seems to have alot of punch for a little 2.0 :D

What is your main driving route in melbourne deano?
well depends on which office im working at,
if its the clifton hill office in the morning i jump onthe westgate and go through flinders street then up hoddle street. The return journey is usually up around flemington then down williamstown road.
If i am heading to the thomastown factory i jump on the ring road.
Cannot go past a wagon suby!
Previous to this I had a forester which was slightly more practical for snowboarding/surfing but this is great on the open road and corners!
Have this Jeep TJ 1999.. My babbbbbbby!
Miss it i dont have it here in whistler. I would have drove it the 3500 km but i cant afford that kinda petrol.
I also have a Motorcycle.. to save on the fuel.
And I still want one of these!!!!!
I’m thinking when I finish travelling around the world I will have to look at getting a new STI along with some property down the coast to drive it to!!
We have just had the Targa rally down here so there has been plenty of these driving around town not too mention all of the other crazy stuff like tuned up EVO’s, R35’s, lambo’s, porsches etc! Unfortunately having a 9-5 job doesn’t allow for time to go check a couple stages out..
And I still want one of these!!!!!
A mate of mine is getting his stock WRX hatch next week he hopes, will make him the suby man with a forry and rex. Will be interesting to see how it goes on a daily driver basis. I have been looking at both the WRX and the Forry as possible replacements for the ute, I want my mate to tune both to see how they go.
my missus has a new subby impreza hatch. goes alright, the gearing is abit shit on the highway(revs at about 3200rpm at 100km/h) but apart from that its ok.
I even owned a Sherpa at one stage!!!!! 2 Cylinder 500cc!!!!! It used to get to a top speed of about 140Kmh on the freeway!!!!
downhill, with a tail wind…..
Vito, big?
We had a Ford Transit Van; I’m pretty good at parking and not hitting things in general but….. I even drove over and parked on a brick wall once!!!! I would prefer to tow a trailer than drive a BIG van.
(the Vito is pretty big - it was our replacement for the Transit Van)
Dad has a Troopy - it’s better than driving the Transit!!!!!!
i have just requisitioned a new ‘business’ vehicle…but be assured it will be down many times this season!
Nah this isnt really it, but the finished product will look something like it. the windows are being fitted this week and will drive out to orange to pick it up next friday.
here she is on the lot
2.0 TDI
7 spd DSG gearbox
fully optioned….
so stoked, but sad the old ute is going. at least they gave me 5k trade-in
Nice Banger, cheap accom in that thing for the snow lol
Great van Banger!!
Are you going to replace the front seats?
