    Well, as everybody else is posting their cars... I'll add mine:

    Toyota MR2 Mark1 Red t-bar with air filter, induction kit and nice big stainless through exhaust. Some pics to follow shortly. And as i think someone else with an MR2 has pointed out; its rear wheel drive, the engine is in the right place and they're loads of fun! :D

    OK , here's my ride ...
    1989 Chevrolet PU , 5.7L - 5 speed manual trans - 4x4 - 15mpg - 34 gal. tank (last fill up = $88.00 Sorry,but thats a lot here, normal fill is $68.00 of High Test )
    170,000 miles , same clutch , second set of brakes , very much used off road & to haul my 86 Honda 350X ATC 3 wheeler to the desert ...
    I sure do love my truck!

    ..[​IMG]

    But for fun,
    I am half owner of a 1954 Ferret Mk 2/5 , Scout/Recon. Car , was used from the 50's all the way to Desert Storm
    Periscoped , Turreted , Armored ( 9,000 lbs ) 6 cyl. Rolls-Royce , Fast (will do 55mph ... Forward or Backwards ) 9 mpg , 2 person - Driver & Gunner
    But best of all ... It's Street Legal ! :eeek: :eeek: :eeek: :eeek: :eeek: :hip: ... Amaze your friends!/Horrify your neighbors! (actually, neighbors think it's cool )

    Way better than an old car , you should see the reaction we get when we cruse the beach!
    been chased by everything from ferraris to 57 Chevys trying to get a closer look ( the police here all know us and think it's cool )
    I sure like driving it !
    See what you think...

    Here's my sweet ride.
    [​IMG]

    Here's the hood ornemant (it is a lawn flamingo's head).
    [​IMG]

    Here's the inside; the red object is a rotating cop-style light wired in as my dome light.
    [​IMG]

    My steering wheel; note the golf ball shifter.
    [​IMG]

    And of course, my thumpin' radio...which don't work. The one I had installed as a replacement was mounted on the floor, but that started on fire (long story).

    1988 Oldsmobile Royal. Only 266,432 miles!
    Thought your car sucked?

    Yes I watch that while driving. No I don't actually watch, I just listen. Yes the rage against the machine live DVD is by far the best music experience in a car. Nothing like watching your favorite band while driving.

    Isn't it illegal not to have the handbrake sensor attached so that the screen is blank when driving? I'm sure my dad's Sat Nav had a warning sticker on it when I installed it.

    You'd never get away with a car that shabby in the UK it would simply fail its MOT test. An MOT is a fairly comprehensive test of a cars road worthiness and you cannot drive without a valid certificate that has to renewed each year.

    In fact it amazes me that a country like the USA which makes everyone drive at 55MPH has not yet introduced an MOT style test to make sure people are driving cars that meet a basic safety standard.

    His car looks perfectly safe to me. You dont need a working radio to have a safe car. Its just dinged up. Its not like it was involved in a major head on accident and the car wouldnt be safe to drive again.

    an MOT is so easly failed over here if you dont look after your car right. service it every year or 30,000 miles (what ever is sooner) and the common sence stuff like fluids tyres and stuff.

    you cna fail a MOT for a stone chip in the windscreen within the reach of the wiper arms it doesnt even have to be a crack in the WS. its still safe to drive tho IMO (yes the WS is weakend. but IMO if its not blocking the drivers view or causing the structual integrity of the glass to break down then its safe)

    then theres driving with a bent axel. yes you can do it. in america you problly wouldnt get pulled for it. i dont think you would here unless it looked blatently bent. but you woudl fail a MOT.

    MOT tests check for internal rust.that car could be full of it and remember rust isn't half as strong as steel.

    Well i do believe the fastest motorcycle ever mass produced for the road would be the choice of the devil.
    Ducati's are awesome though. They are my 2nd favorite only to Suzuki.
