I had it for 3 years and did 40K miles driving from Southampton to Bournemouth daily across the New Forest on dual carriageway, it was real fun. Ahh the memories Great cars, i had a non Evo in Techno Violet a few times. I liked how the non Evo had a very linear power delivery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggles Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I only had two 'memorable cars. A 1966 Nissan Silvia coupe and a 1968 Mustang 390ci. Very envious of guys that live in the US/Europe without Australia's huge import tariffs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggles Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 No, unfortunately I only have print photos in my house in oz. Photos are from the net but both are identical to my old cars, model and colours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaksey Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Here's some ultra hardcore taboo back room under the counter car porn.

Shaksey Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Oh, and a bit more up to date, I saw my first one of these today. It didn't stand out at all, totally anonymous looking, I walked right past it and got in my car next to it. Could have been any Jap/Koren mid-size SUV. Then as I looked over my shoulder before reversing out I thought, is that an Aston Martin door handle? Which indeed it was. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
