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...

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”. |

They say the first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem;
I have a soft spot for HSV Senators... And can someone please remove the picture of that bloody A9X... I'm not long out of rehab for them too...

I drove a very nice & quick EH sedan as my daily years ago. had a 2 dr LJ torana at one stage. Got rid of a rusted out VW Bug to be replaced by a rusted out VW kombi panno (sitting awaiting resto). There has been others. The almost bought & wish list is endless. I sit & dream in silence.
