Show Me Your Ride!

[Dreadbelly]

Oooh I love boxy Volvos. Especially older ones. The new ones look like oop:

[shawhighlander]

No seriously!

Dude, I'm serious

My former ride, sold this summer. I'm looking for a new one.



At rest in Drakes Bay.

[AL-58]

This one has hit my weak spot.

The current two wheeler:


The threewheeler:


And the fourwheeler I sold last year:

I have a weakness for British cars which I have to cater for every now and then, '60s Jags especially.

Otherwise we have a 2002 Subaru Forester, 2002 BMW R1150R (both the wifes) and I've got a '92 Pajero (Montero to US people) to get me to work and as a tow vehicle.

Al, three beautiful rides! I'm drooling!

[Warlock]

1923 Ford T-Bucket Roadster, with a 400-hp 396ci Chevy big block. And yes, we DROVE this car everywhere. It was never on a trailer. We put almost 25,000 miles on it. I sold this one in 1996.

900 horsepower Cummins diesel engine....25mm Bushmaster Cannon, TOW ATWG Missile Launcher, AND six GRUNTS IN BACK

THAT'S MY RIDE CR66

OK, my former ride.



I see your Bushmaster and raise you a 120mm HVFSDS-T.

My father sees your 120mm cannon and raises you two RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile launchers and one full compliment of strike aircraft.

I give you the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) otherwise known as "The Big E".



Though I guess it doesn't count since he's not posting this himself, haha.
Now for the trump: Anyone work with nuclear weapons? Relatives?

There are only two kinds of ships: Submarines and Targets.




Oh, aye. My ride while in the Navy (Poseidon Fire Control) USS Will Rogers SSBN 659 - last Poseidon boat to leave Site 1 at Holy Loch:

Pinzgauer 7-10 M
pretty much the coolest vehicle on the world.
climbing into it kilted is always interesting.


P.S. It is for sale.

Bragerts! I am jealous!

[Fearnest]

Bragerts! I am jealous!

With the exception of the roadster and the "for sale" mil truck, they're probably not as glamorous as they seem... after the first 60 or 70 hours in one they tend to get kind of cramped-feeling (even the aircraft carrier, according to my uncle who also rode one of those).

Having said that, they're also b@lls-up fun for the first few hours!

Oooh I love boxy Volvos. Especially older ones. The new ones look like oop:

Here are our winter rides - last of the true boxes w/rear wheel drive: '86 740 & '94 940 (the Peugeot 307 to the left belongs to our neigbour). With 325' and 262' Ks on the clock, both engines run smooth as silk (well, as new..) and cared for should easily double the Ks. Both cars free from rust and rattles.

[porrick]

Porrick, I love the older English sports cars. Verry nice rice!

Thanks, though I did anger a few people in the Triumph circles in the US by taking this original San Diego 22' miles car out of the country in 2003... Not many Stags in such a concdition left in the US now, and with the cooling problems easily sorted, the Triumph V8 is a great engine. Though a small V8, there is arguably not a sweeter sounding one...
