Your Rides....What does everyone drive.

Postby WooD » Fri Aug 11, 2006 8:48 pm

Just wondering what everyone drove in other parts of the world.

I have a old 96 Dodge Dakota, a 2000 Jeep Wrangler, and a 2000 Harley Sportster. Nothing classy or exotic, but their all paid for.

An 10 yr old piece of crap Ford Laser. I have never really been into cars.
It looks like this

My board can go straight in the back and I don't have to worry about getting sand everywhere.

1998 Saturn, very boring though not outfitted like Hawaii's though. Its all manual, but it gets me where I need to go until I can get a new car.

A beat-up '91 Nissan Micra (it looks a lot like SPs car actually!!) Doesn't matter if it gets wet/sandy/waxy :D

The car in my avatar is Sean's - Subaru Impreza that we have to keep a bit cleaner when she comes to the beach!!

A volvo S40 that ive broke the boot on so have to stick my board in through the passenger door, now have wax on passenger seatbelt/roof (inside & out)/both front seats and all in the boot.
Want to buy a van but the volvo's paid for and cant really be assed with repayments on a van.

BMW 318IS - M reg('95) bit boring but very reliable and it is big enough with the back seats down for my boards.
Toyota Celica GT4 - H reg('91) but its off the road atm, needs some electrical work, limiter keeps cutting in, faulty knock sensor wiring. But I love driving it - 225bhp 4wd turbo :D !

I'm sort of looking for something else to replace them both. On the short list is a Scooby estate, Mitsi VR4 Legnum(estate), BMW 325CI Sport, Saab 93 2.0T Aero, Audi A4 T-sport Quattro and still looking... Trouble is I keep getting carried away with prices and topped out at just over 13K :shock: with the Beemer which is just stupid on my wages so I'm gonna have to forget that, and if I'm being half sensible I think I'll stick to the Scooby idea.

I've got a 99 explorer, it gets the job done. Got full roof racks arcross it, so it can get all my boards there.

Although I guess it's been at the beach too much, because I've got a couple of rust spots in the bumper I'm grinding out and filling back in.

I'm kinda casually looking for either a 70s MGB or a Jeep Wrangler or CJ if I'm lucky, to restore. I'm starting to think the Jeep would be a better option, because I would much rather be in 3 feet of mud, sand, rocks, whatever than going fast.
