@JerkStore those are stunning

[Ross]

@Inorganic Mate! I'm convinced all those 'boxy' cars from the 90s we all thought were ugly 10/15 years ago are coming back round!

[Inorganic]

@Ross without a doubt. I'm just waiting for some hipsters to get clued into how cool the Lada Riva looks and its potential (omg if my 10yr old self saw me write that i may have topped myself).

[Ross]

@Inorganic I have seen some very cool expedition modified Lada Nivas out there

Saw this around the corner from the crib today…

I had this Chevy Suburban, a 1978 or so, when I did my first long trip through the US in 1990. Three months Boston to LA, mainly just National Parks. Bought it for $800, lived in it all the time, derusted it with a friend in SF and finally sold it in LA for $1100.

Here are my cars:

1999 Z3M coupé, i have it for about 13 years, it has been prepared to race a little bit:

And my rare 1975 Innocenti Mini, the Italian version of it with more additional parts when they were sale brand new (chrome, front disk brake...)
I have it for 3 years now, it was really in bad shape and wasn't running great but with elbow grease and several spare parts, it's finally a little bomb that smoke a lot of small cars

Before:

And after:

And a photo of the 2 girls before the paint job:

@endo absolutely

[Inorganic]

@endo damn..what an adventure that must have been

[endo]

yes, @Inorganic a great trip, and all before internet and mobiles

[Inorganic]

@endo i try to explain to my son (10) the freedom of those times. I feel bad for the young generations of today/tomorrow that that moments are likely gone - but via social media/mobiles they will have an awareness of the world that we didn't. good with the bad i suppose.

[endo]

I also find it difficult to judge here. Then, it was freedom and adventure. And more individuality, more contrast. But now it enables possibilities that were unthinkable then. If they are used ...

[Inorganic]

@endo 'if they are used' - therein lies the challenge.

Mini Cooper JCW (John Cooper Works) Yes, No, or ... Appreciate any feedback on them. I have looked at them for years and think they would be a fun car and given today's economy would definitely be a little better than driving my truck around.

[louisbosco]

it's a very niche market. plenty of competitors out there in the 'hot hatch' market.

I'm respect the JCW racing heritage, but it's still a mini, which I'm not particularly a fan of.
