Absolutely awesome torque and it would be great for towing as long as you never wanted to over take or accelerate. It is a a pity the power is only 110kw. It would be too slow for my liking. You can't complain about the mileage at all. Over 1000k's to a tank. These are deceptivley fast (once run in...

'kin bonkers....I want it !

old post same idea came up with a black Jeep with BAABAA. I used to work with a hotty with NSW KGB999, one day a car pulled up beside horns tooting passengers carrying on, total confusion as blondie did not know these people. Then they pulled in front and it took a while to click but it was vic reg...

Thanks for thinking of me Frog!

I was chasing down some front mud flaps - I am pretty sure that there are some on the front cut I have bought. Which should be leaving (or have left Aus) around now.
Thanks anyway !
Giles.

The tray is almost ready now for it's rubber liner coating. http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/3007/traylininggoo001medium.jpg http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/1157/traylininggoo002medium.jpg Which rubber system are you using there? (Had mine done with 'speedliner' in colour matched rio red).

I am gonna be in the market for a box trailer, the standard 6x4 heavy duty. Locally the tralers are all priced around the 1000 dollar mark. The same trailers in some cases are $800 in the big smoke, so it looks to be a drive to Sydney to save a few bucks and a fun outing :) Seen B& M up close, seen...

I dont care what you, blue jacket wearing, rally gravel lacerated eye people think. Ths 9-2X SAABaru looks much better than an equivalent WRX with a MUCH better looking and feeling interior. Nah mate - your only saying this cause you fancy that tasty Swedish bird down the road from you! Gotta agree...

Got me grey cells going over the weekend..... What was that Colt / Mitsubishi thing we got here (in UK) called a LONSDALE it was plugged at the time as a car from Australia maybe late 70's or early 80's....anyone help me out with this one??? Also we got somthing called a VW TORO which was in fact a ...

A few more things done. The inside of the doors , guards and tailgate have been coated with fish oil and paint. The fish oil to help stop any future rust starting and the paint to put a crust over the fish oil , to stop dust from building up in the fish oil. http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/2493/...

When dad was buying a new ute, we looked at the Mazda BT50. When the dealer was explaining the features of the vehicle, i said to dad "its nearly identical to the Ford Ranger thats in the car yard across the road". The Mazda guy was very defiant in telling me that they are completely different vehi...

I'll try my best to get some MG/Rover pics but they aren't as common here in the mid west of China, the only difference is the badging which looks very similar to the original Rover badges. Funny story about the Viva/Torana, my sister bought my mothers old 67 Viva off her back in the mid 70's, she ...

Don't forget the Falcon ute with the big Nissan sticker on the tailgate, the Vauxhall Viva of the late 60's/early 70's with the Holden Brabham/Torana badges that then turned into the incredible 6 cly GTR XU1. And the MG/Rovers are being made here in China and they are doing a bloody good job of it ...

Aw poop, those badges would throw the average Aussie used to seeing Suzuki Swift (1.3 litre) or Holden Barina nameplates. AWD with hi/lo !!?? Now that would be something to shove in our Suzuki GTi (1.6 twin cam 16V?) pocket rockets of the same shape!! Just badge engineering not Subie motors at all ...

So what actually is the worst ever case of badge engineering then?? Here are a few for starters........ Land Rover Discovery sold as a Honda in Japan Any of the Latter (RIP) MG's that were simply tweaked Rovers. Renault to Nissan Vans! OR HORROR OF ALL HORRORS Nissan Sunnys sold as Alfa's AAAAARRRRR...

Hey Guys - here are a couple of snaps taken on my blackberry (crap picture qual soz) of one of those Hungarian built Justy's I spotted earlier today. Quite a rare thing here. (Lots more of the Suzuki version though) This one is a 2 door. They had AWD with a hi/lo box. This one is a P reg so that mak...

WOW! Wikipedia come up info trumps again ! Enough bedtime reading here for a decade!

There are awd Suzuki GTI shaped cars in Poland? with Subaru badges on them too. The Suzuki Swift and the very last generation Subaru Justy's were produced on the same production line at the Suzuki Factory in Hungary. (The project is now dead. Suzuki make the SX4 and its Fiat equivalent there now). ...

Firstly BIG THANKS to Trevor - without your help this would not have happened. A true Gent and a friend. Hope none of those Cane Toads are lurking in there though! Actually Guys lurking under that black shrink wrap is 'The NEW BRUMBY'. What we haven't told you is we have been developing the new repl...
