Our Cars (dream or actual)

[Seul]

That old Mustang is sick. Pic of snowed in truck = brilliant. Wait: you weren't actually driving it in that pic, right?.. 

[NinjaByNight]

Thanks @Seul! I was very fortunate to have a father that loved and shared his passion for working on and owning cars. As for the snow pics… yes I was driving (after the windshield was cleared off). That particular year the snowfall was so heavy, our family friends had to leave their mini van at the cabin we stayed at, and 7 of us safely and somewhat comfortably made it down to the lower elevation easily in the black behemoth. And it's been driven in far worse conditions at night heading to Lake Tahoe, where even other vehicles with snow chains were told to stop and turn around by the California Highway Patrol! 16 years and coming up on 200K miles it's been one off my best investments, gets us where we want, hauls what we want, and still imho looks fantastic compared to the H2s and Chevy Tahoes my friends and coworkers have bought and sold over the years.

Simply gorgeous to wake up to... snow, snow, snow!

Those could be PAYSAGE D'HIVER coverpictures… (Some obscure, Swiss one-person black metal band, so don't feel too bad for not knowing them...  )

[NinjaByNight]

@Seul very true! Though blasting Paysage d'Hiver, Metallica or even Megadeth while driving for over an hour through that snowstorm would have been too much for my passengers to handle!  ???

oh boy. love those ford american market utes trucks. they cost to get one over here. the f150 raptor is a dream.. how do you even wade through the snow?!?!

[NinjaByNight]

@louisbosco once it gets rolling it'll run through fresh powder or falling snow like butter. After the snow plows have run through, it's just about gaining some traction and a feel for the iciness of the road. After 2 years of putting snow chains on our F150, I was over it and decide on the Beast. Lock the front hubs, put it in 4x4 and go!

I've always wanted to own a crew cab Raptor, perhaps in a few years and sooner if a 50th Anniversay Bullitt Mustang doesn't see production  :D!

Just sorting through my mother's effects.  This is my maternal grandfather.  I'd take that in a heart beat…..

[rocket]

cool flick and who wouldn't…

[NinjaByNight]

@Giles your grandfather had excellent taste! I'd take it in a heart beat too!

[bryaneidins70]

Great picture @Giles. Any idea where it was taken…Brooklands maybe?

[Giles]

We know he used to Hill Climb in it, but the signage behind him says "Laps Completed", which tells us that it is a "real" circuit.  Our best guess is that it is Mallory Park

^ it's bordering on obnoxious.  But for some reason I like it too.

[Chris]

That's what makes it good.

The perfect fishing companion….

@Giles:

The perfect beerhunting companion….

[Seul]

Never forget…

[Graeme]

They're terrible for beer runs. There's a V6 where luggage space should be.

[Seul]

No no no, Graeme… You drink all the beer, then you go racing that kart (on a circuit of course!)…
