Heres a good laugh

I kind of miss my old Ford Maverick. Straight six. But the thing had a strange habit of suddenly dying for no apparent reason. And sometimes at an inopportune time...like when my wife was in labor and we were on the way to the hospital...

Commonest cause of that in petrol engine cars is oddly enough the easiest to fix ( if its the cause) and its the EARTH ( Negative in Americanese) lead from the battery to the body. They look normal but have oxidised inside to a point that sometimes they work and sometimes they dont.

That 1970 challenger in the movie was a beauty. Mine is a V-8, dark grey, 2014, shaded windows.
Love my car.

 

[BillMasen]

Sexiest car you lot ever made.

 

[BillMasen]

We only had these, Jenson Interceptor FF2 4 wheel drive, 7212 cc V 8.

 

[Amish Heart]

Come on, post a photo of mine! I have an RT V8 2014.
Don't like the Jenson. Looks like an old pinto hatchback.

LMAO

I drove an Jensen Interceptor in exactly this color during one summer. But it was the "small" one with the 383 V8 RWD.

I always thought this was one of the sexiest cars, the XKE Jag.

My personal all-time favorite ist the Aston Martin DB5 Vantage. Noisy, hard to drive, hot (because you sit over the exhaust and the gearbox is at your side).
The fastest tractor I have ever driven. (Car was in my hands for a few weeks because there was some electric problems to solve and an order to move because the owner didn't had time really). But the sound, the interior, those Smith-instruments in front of you, the smell of leather, fuel and oil, the feeling you have by moving this car - unforgetable.
As i told to the owner the car's handling is hard like an tractor he told me: "Never forget, David Brown build tractors before"
I'll look for one if i win in lottery one day.

1970 AMC Javelin SST Mark Donohue. A very limited edition, just enough made to qualify as a production model for the Trans - Am races. I owned this in a blue color. It would pass everything except a gas station. Those were the day!

Real purdy but handled like a three legged pig., hates corners.

I drove a '79 Dodge Magnum back in 1984, took it to Germany and let the Porsche and Mercedes try to stay with me on the Autobahn...they could hang a while, but then they overheated and I never saw them again...Till one morning on the way to work, a truck pulled over into the left lane after only blinking once. Thank God for the size of the car, I hit him in the ass at around 80 mph and walked away with back pains...
one of the last muscle cars before they started down-sizing...

 

[jayjay1]

My first car - a 1964 Hillman Minx.

 

[lonewolf]

mine was a Ford Anglia 883cc body with a 1200cc engine in it, went like hell!! and I only paid £35 for it second hand.

 

[jayjay1]

but my fav car I ever owned - a 1972 HQ ute! 162 red motor, 3 speed manual, got 45mpg on a long trip, top speed 100kph. Miss the ol' girl.

 

[Amish Heart]

That almost looks like an El Camino

 

[BillMasen]

My first Big boy wheels

 

[lonewolf]

hells bells my first bike was a Raleigh Runabout moped.

 

[Mountain Dragon]

My first bike? Sachs 503 2-speed manual. 40years later? Late puberty phase. 2x Sachs 503 2-speed manual. And an Yamaha DT50 (which waits until i have time for restauration).

And sometimes won't start in the morning.
But hey, sexy doesn't necessarily mean athletic, LOL

My dad had one, which I barrowed with his permission, to take my future wife to her senior prom. It may not handle well but it certainly made an impression on the crowd. LOL

We sadly just sold our bike in November. A 2005 Harley softtail deluxe. Black with lots of chrome. Had some great memories on that bike, but husband's back was giving him grief.

 

[GaRp58]

Now that you mentioned it...I had the only Harley Sportster 883 in a driving school in all of Germany. While all the others were screaming about on YamaSuziKawahonda junk, MY students were learning to ride on a Sporty and making all others jealous. Most people here do not even know anyone with a Hog, much less get to borrow it IF THEY DID and my kids were cutting their teeth on one!!!!! Lots of looks in the city from the other students WHO JUST WENT TO THE WRONG DRIVING SCHOOL!!! Had to sell it when I closed the school, the change to Euros from the German Mark destroyed the economy, made everything more expensive and the people just did not pay their bills and I went bankrupt in only 5 months....Gary

The GS1000 was my first BIG boy bike, I started on a C90, worked my way up. Normally stayed around the 500cc twin range though.

 

[lonewolf]

I had a Norton Commando 850cc, normal everyday bike was usually in the 400cc range.

 

[DrHenley]

Not long ago I was reading about how Harley patented the angle of the cylinders that gives Harleys their throaty trademark "potato potato potato" sound.

 

[BillMasen]

I'm still considering an Enfield India 500CC single motorcycle if enfield starts selling em in the UK again. Theres one in our village, gets 75 to the gallon.

 

[lonewolf]

nice bike.

 

[GaRp58]

here is a small laugh.
Why did God create woman last??

To make sure she wasn't trying to talk her way into how creation should be done!!

 

[tmttactical]

My first bike was the Honda 350 scrambler, it was the first one sold in the SF bay area. It was also the first one totaled in the SF Bay Area. Something about me and motorcycles that just turn me into a raving idiot. For the old timers with long memories, Disney had a goofy cartoon where Goofy tuned into a raving maniac as soon as he climbed into his car. Well that is me on a motorcycle. Engage the kick starter, disengage the brain. LOL

I remember that cartoon. What is funny is that when I went to Taiwan the first time I saw it in real life. Very polite Chinese step into their cars and turn into maniacs. I described driving in Taipei as playing bumper cars. They seem to have gotten better over the years since then but I was absolutely horrified by the things I saw and experienced. I came close to being knocked off the side of a mountain by an oncoming bus that was passing a car on a blind hairpin curve. The road leading up to the mountain was littered with "prayer money" they bought for good luck surviving the drive into the mountains.
