Jai Dee Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 This is the car I replaced the Probe with... my brother is still driving around back in Oz. Ford Falcon XR8. Would love to have one here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogandave Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Every thing I ever drove (save oone old mail jeep) before I came to Thailand had the wheel either on the left or in the center, so I wouln't have any of them here. Anyone remember changing oil every 3K, tune-up every 10K, brakes every 30K a valve job every 70K and a long-block every 120K? How about no air-conditioning, manual windows and locks? I’ve gotten pretty used to all the “stuff”. People usually remember old cars as being a lot better than they actually were. I loved my '53 Ford F-100 (and a few others), but for a daily driver? I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songhua Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) This is the car I will have to sell in this coming year when we move to LoS. I should be selling it about now but just can't bring myself to do it. Four years old and sits in the garage (still less than 30,000 kms / 18,000 miles on the clock!). It is a Holden SSV Commodore, exported to the States as a Pontiac G8 GT and the Middle East/South Africa? as a Chev. L98 (or LS2 really) 6.0 litre V8, six-speed manual and goes like a rocket. Yes indeed, gonna be a sad day. the only mods I've made to it are the over-the-radiator air intake and a 3'' cats-back exhaust. Apart from that, pretty much showroom floor. Apparently the wife's turbo diesel JK (her pride n joy) is to be loaned/sold cheaply to our son during our absence. Don't ask me, I've been left out out of those negotiations LoL although he already has his beloved Hilux - which he'll keep to bash around the bush with.

WarpSpeed Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I used to have one exactly the same before I bought a boat in 1998. The colour was great... it would change hue depending on where the sunlight hit it. Great sound system too... my kids loved it. Alas, I had to replace it with a V8 in order to tow the boat. Did yours have the automatic seat belts? Open the door and a motor in the door pulled them away. Close the door and they automatically wrap to you. Cute feature until you get your arms crossed wrong as they are closing. Or god forbid, your head Passive restraints......................My buttocks! The most aggressive restraints I've ever encountered .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never did catch on it would seem. Fortunately, they were more like a medieval punishment then a passive restraint.. Beheading anyone?? Yes, as I recall, I think it was my Eclipse that had one and it attempted a beheading of me every chance it got, it was particularly aggressive and quick not unlike a guillotine..

jbrain Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 This is one of the 3 cars I had to leave behind.Kept holding on for it for approx 10 years after I moved here but at the end decided it was better to let it go. The second one was a similar one in green and the third a M3 convertible with a lot of Sonderwunsch added to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was quite disturbing and while THAT may have never happened obviously , many people wore them without the lap belts and got similar results sadly .. One major reason they never caught on..

Old Croc Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) Perhaps the quickest in England. In the 70s Ford Australia were making something called the Falcon GT, a racing car, thinly disguised as a family saloon. The Dolomite wasn't even close in performance.
