Recently I came to terms with a dark dark secret. I had to admit it to myself. No this isn’t anything to do with a penchant for tunes by Enya or Richard Clayderman. This is about the picture featured below. I like this car, furthermore I find the style of these particular Volkswagen’s (ratrod style) appealing. There, now I’ve said it. So I thought I’d create this thread. Sure I like my Fords but there are other cars out there, potentially embarrassing and shameful that I like too. So if you have a dirty little car secret deep deep down let it out, cleanse your soul and live in purgatory no more. Grab a fist full of balls and admit your shame here.

I looked at an Avalon twice. Not my fault. I was being dragged around by the parents...

There's something about Saabs which I just love, but can't pinpoint.

Oh for me it would have to be the L series subaru's...always seen them around, seen what they can do offroad aswell. Just loved the bod shape and everything. You can tell because i bought the older version of it haha.
  But getting to the really dark dark parts of myself.....a kingswood ute would have me. It would be quite the possibility that ill buy one when i move to the country. Just a tough, good looking tough vehicle. Tough. Although theres a part of me that wants to make me buy a ford ute instead of the kingy    Top vehicle i reckon...

I actually really like the bog EA, white with grey bumpers and the standard hubcaps. I had one and kept it like this for ages simply because i liked how it looked

Caint tell ya........ it's a secret.

 BAII RTV - with Raptor V S/C. RTV Power FG G6ET 50th Anniversary in Sensation. While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |
