If I ever deviated from a Volvo, that would be it, simple, but pure fun and RWD! Followed one the other day wth respect for it.

It looks nothing like a barry-boy Calibra, which is why I like it so much

That Challenger(Charger?) concept is somehow not so appealing looks as Mustang were, don't know why but I find it somehow failed, maybe it is too flat or something. Anyway when I look it I get this feeling, 'geez, muscle car got new clothes by Puffy Girls' which also I can't really explain.
Difference between Aussie Muscle and US Muscle is that Aussie Muscle can do corners too

I was in my local Vauxhall dealership the other day with my dads car. In the showroom was a silver, brand new Vauxhall Monaro VXR with 23 miles on the clock! It was up for about £26500. the dealer chappy there opened it up let us have a good look etc then he started her up! Straight away the torque from that awesome V8 sent a massive torque wave down the car, and it sounded immense from its quad exhausts!
He then went on to tell us that as it had the day before been officially canceled (production) the price would be rising a grand to £27500.
Great Car - really comfortable too!
Cheers & Happy New Year.
PS ill post some pictures of it after new year!

I'd love to test drive a Monaro sometime, they seem very cool cars.

How much MJ did drove last year? I might be able to grab lowest mileage title soon

Well from mid January till mid April 0 miles, and mid September till mid December, 0 miles

Dunno about the rest of the year, but not much.
Although I have done about 1100 miles to and from uni, but that was in the 850

Hmm, you can still keep title then I think, my total was something around 2500 miles, if I calculated right, that was all driving I did.
Come to think about it, where would I use daily driver as I need car so little that I can perfectly keep it as a hobby already, lol.
Anyway, some day I just have to get such Aussie car

Hmm, dunno, it'd be close. I must have covered a fair few miles in the summer, but I just never counted
