        love the silvia, but completely impractical for passengers and I love suspension in them rock hard.

        the stagea was fantastic! so much torque on tap. the let down was the transmission, but with a valve body upgrade it hardened up the shifts.

          that photo was taken in hunters hill, and yes that a cappo in the background.

          live in eastwood, but in ryde a lot. the stagea went a year ago, but you may see it in north ryde as the current owner works around there. he sold it on to someone down south - in a few days anyway.

          my mrs mostly drives the 500. being that its 'hers'; except I paid for it

            My first car was a HZ wagon with curtains courtesy of my gf at the time...


            and my last before the Yeti was a VT Acclaim I kept for 12 years...no major problems in all those years and was still a good ride when I sold it


            In between the rides included an assortment of holdens, fords, mercedes, a moke etc. I still have good memories of a mk1 Golf 4 door - under powered, under tyred but a lot of fun and very chuckable.

              Did the curtains come in handy?

                    Need venetians... actually with Skoda's quirky styling, it might be worth checking the accessories brochure.

                          Replaced with a Nissan S15 Spec R, 2L turbo 6 speed.



                          Then traded for another S15, 2L turbo 6 speed manual.

                          Good list of cars there, loved the S15's. Never got around to getting one unfortunately, dissapointing that they were discontinued. There was a real gap in the market for small reasonably priced rwd sports cars since then until the 86 came out. Never been a massive toyota fan though, except for the AE82 my missus had and now the 86 looks good.

                            First: Silver 1981 Ford Laser Ghia - had to replace the engine
                            Second: Red 1993 Toyota Corolla GTi - one of the best cars I ever had. Dropped over 17's, exhaust and stereo tweaks
                            Third: White 1992 Subaru Liberty RS Turbo wagon. One of only 110 delivered to Australia. Some mods, but sadly a mechanical lemon!
                            Fourth: Took over my wife's 2000 Ford Laser. Not a bad car, but no fun whatsoever. During this time I also spent time in her VE Sportwagon company car - I hate Commonwhores. Only drove it for the free petrol.
                            Fifth: Black 2006 Ford XR5. Brilliant car. Best sound ever! Flashed, intake, exhaust, springs, bushes and swaybars.
                            Now: The VRS wagon. Love it. Best so far...just need some mods and to begin the storm trooper makeover.

                            Candy White MY12.5 Octavia VRS TSI DSG wagon.
                            Black Plasti Dipped wheels, grille surround, roof rails and badges. Lowered 20mm, torque arm insert.

                              the new 86 is a fantastic looking car. I think the fact its powered by Subaru makes it less appealing to me.

                              its a shame the Z replaced the S chassis. really loved driving those cars!

                                1999 A4 B5 2.4 V6. a lovely cruiser, wish i didn't have to sell it. never got to mod it, just happy to keep it looking absolutely mint.









                                Volcano black with the sand leather interior - was the best combination, and I've never seen it before or ever again...
