Re: What kind of car do you drive in real life?

I drive a 1987 Citroën 2cv6 Spécial. Colours: blue and blue. I painted it myself (please bear with me, I'm a poor student without a job, it's a miracle I own a car anyway!).

Here's my '93 Legacy Sport Wagon EJ22T (2.2 liter turbo). Just has aftermarket audio, 18" 5Zigen, and Impreza WRX Ver. III seats. I have a spare engine currently being built up for higher HP.


'93 Impreza Wagon with WRX Ver. V front bumper and Ver. I-III rims


'89 BMW E32 735i, Royal Blau Metallic (as the paint code label says), the picture doesn't do the color justice, has a really nice deep bluish/purple flip flop in the paint. Currently only has Euro front indicators, soon to get exhaust, chip, and performance brakes and suspension.


'66 Caprice Classic 9-passenger, project car currently undergoing new electrical system and front disc brake conversion. Sorry for the grainy image.


My other project car is '96 Impreza AWD coupe with a WRX drivetrain, can't find the pics right now. It already has new paint and updated RS style bodywork.

Hope you enjoy!

You're not so wrong!... In a way, I don't REALLY like them : they're only dreams for me... Or models I'd like to build.
But having one in real life?...
I'm a little like Harri Vatanen, in a way, I feel: he drove wonderfull and powerfull rallycars in his job/passion; but in everydaylife he owns and drives a red... 2cv!
What I love in cars (real and models) is design. But when I drive mine, it means nothing...
And I think my first thread here will be a Tamiya 2cv! I'll finish the 360 spider after...

Hey guys, believe it or not, but this GolfIII Vr6 was mine from april 1999 untill october 2001. This pic was taken in a tuning meeting organised by BAC (Belgian Autotuning Club) at the 'Plan incliné de Ronquières' (when I was president of a tuning club, that's very far) and the girls were doing a sexy show and strip tease during the meeting. It's really common here in belgium to have a sexy show during a tuning meeting.

If you paied 8€, the girls were posing next to your car and at the end of the meeting you were receiving the photo.
So I paied the 8€ and came back with a 'souvenir'.

I'm right with ZoomZommMX5, the girl on the left is not very cute and looks like a guy but it's well a woman.
What you don't see on the photo is the huge crowd of men trying to pick the blond up

1981 Toyota Corolla Station Wagon. 1.8L Hemi 3TC rated at 75bhp@5000rpms running on a 5-speed transmission. It's actually my dad's car, but is sure kicks!

Other Cars:
- 1991 Toyota Camry LE Sedan. 2.0L DOHC 3S-FE engine rated at 115@5200rpms.
- 1992 Mazda MPV. 3.0L V-6. Not really a Mazda guy, so I don't know any other specs. Any reliable info. would be cool.

*edit*
Forgot to add this in:

1996 Toyota Supra. This particular car has a 2.0L DOHC 3S-GTE! Nah, just the stock 3.0L DOHC 2JZ-GTE pushing 320bhp@5800rpms. Seriously, it's my daily driver.
