Loved & Hated.

[Esses]

What's the thing you like most about your current Wheels? And the least liked? For me: EF Falcon: love the spaciousness & versatility of the 8-seat layout, plus it's a lovely car to drive.
Dislike: around-town economy.
'89 Nova/Corolla: love the economy & relative performance. Don't like it's heavy steering. Maybe I've just got too used to power-steer!:)

My Black VX SS

Love

style, performance, comfort, features.



Dislike

Insurance premium, fuel economy,
You can see scratches on the car cause of the colour.

[daggy]

I have a nissan 180sx turbo with veilside bodykit.

Love - the power and look.

Hate - the economy (300km for a tank of fuel) and hate the fact that the turbo recently seized costing me $3000 to fix and replace. Oh and insurance kinda sucks

Holden Adventra LX8 :

Top Likes :

V8 grunt.
Car-like handling.
Ten speaker 260w CD sound system.
2.1 tonne towing ability.

Top Dislikes :

Automatic gearbox (bring on a decent 5-speed !)
Braking performance (would like the HSV Avalanche stoppers !)

[clubbie]

I'm on to my third mini project.

Love them because they have caharcter, are cute, still turn heads even if it's for a laugh and for a small amount of money can get a realy well sorted track car.
Oh, they are easy to work on and parts are dirt cheap.

Hate: I forever have one in bits in my garage.
AND it doesnt matter how much power you squeeze out of one it's NEVER ENOUGH

My Suzuki LJ80 soft top..

Loved.
Fun, could go anywhere, easy, could never get it bogged & easy to get it out after it was bogged.:D Drove it to coral bay so me and the missus could see if we could put up with each other for more than 4 days at a time.

Hated.
Parts expensive, when it rained you got wet. Some classy "lady" had lobbed a used med into the back one night and I was always getting my glove box bent open untill I left it unlocked..
that I stripped the whole thing down instead of just fixing my transfer case.. Never finished the job.

My VR Acclaim.

Love.
Reliable, mine from new, I can do a fair bit of the work on it. Colour (Cantebury blue metalic).

Dis love.
Colour. Front seats and stereo (need to change those bunnies)
First scratch, first dent, the damage the kids do...
Fitted rear spoiler so I could tell it apart easier from all the other ones in town (and the handeling :p ) they liked it and got spoilers as well... Vanity plates I got as a birthday present...
