After we started to hijack enworb's retail therapy thread with pictures of vehicles I thought a new thread would be appropriate.
So I will kick it off;
I used to drive a Holden "tonner". Rather a 'bitser' -HQ panel van chassis, HQ one tonner cab, later model front end panels, quite warmed up 308 V8 (from a later model Commodore) and Toyota Supra 5 speed. Gave it to my son when petrol prices started escalating -once I had found a reasonable replacement.
Pro -even though it looked rough it was mechanically sound and very nice to drive.
Con -about 250km range from a 64 litre fuel tank!
Registration certificate called it a panel van.
Sorry about the poor image but that was the only one I could find on my computer and, too much trouble to start searching backups.

Here is the replacement. HZ tonner with premier front with Nissan Skyline RB30 motor.
Goes well and much better fuel consumption -nearly 400km per tank, fully loaded.

Our family vehicle is a BA Falcon Futura but I have never thought of any reason why I would photograph that.
What do you drive, ride, push, pedal? You get the drift.

PS. No Camrys please.
Nice, shiny, new Getz, that's no longer new or shiny. And they no longer make 'em so I'm fresh outta luck. :(
These are my wheels.

Yes, there you go, not everything has to be purple.
There is a wee purple bit on the ankle :yahoo:

Ugh! Sore point, mate... they were the opposition. Did me out of more than a few juicy government tenders. :(

That's a pink ribbon for breast cancer, yeah close enough.
Pink is only faded purple :angel:

now that should be in the purple thread!
Eeekkkk.. my bad.. just noticed that was a monstrous PNG, so I whittled it down to a more manageable size. :blush:
I have a 2005 VZ commodore. Bit of a clunker now but wasn't bad for a first car. Safe to say it copped a beating.

If you treated your car like your coins Matty it would still be pristine :angel:
Unfortunaty i didnt trout. Id put it in the fine category. Well circulated with plenty of wear and a few problems but still good enough.
VZ wagon (to fit all the golf gear in).!!
Apart from the Wagon and the Frog we also have the Magna which has been a great car. (321,000+ks, had 40,000 when we bought it). The cr@p road we live on wore the front control arm bushes out and the control arm wore almost through the crossmember (hence the replacement). Front struts have been replaced 3 times, rear twice. Starts first time, every time.

Just has trouble getting off the mark.:taunt:
PS. That's some nice looking firewood you have there.
:ireful: fire wood, fire wood..that's the bloody BBQ setting mate :mocking: sorry uni, I wanna be good :winkextra:
and I have an 02 rodeo ute..been washed about 3 times in it's life :)
Lol, yes AJ, the Magna's the same. We're on tank water, have 7km of dirt before the tar, plus 5 active dairys if you want to go anywhere, so if you do wash it', it's dirty before you get anywhere. I used to tell people the Magna was eco friendly, in as much as it grew it's own eco system.

. We're fortunate in that regard Jeff. Cut them 2cm too thick up the scrub first cut and couldn't jack it up high enough to get them under. (Hence the saw dust pile).
