OK here tis managed to find a pic of the old fella :) Think it's a E43 2004? BMW 320i - inline 6 cylinder powerplant. It hasn't really done many miles for a 5 year old car.

It drives OK but I reckon better than the current E90 model with them runflats. Wish this thing had better Bluetooth connectivity and some bloody cupholders though.

The family car is a Toyota Tarago which is not so sexy, but it serves the purpose of transporting the large family.

I am also into mustangs, I just don't have one currently, this is an older picture of my second car, I had a 89 gt that got stolen, I replaced it with this 93 lx. This one had a Vortech s-trim supercharger and Baer brakes along with some other really fun goodies. I sold it a couple years back when I bought my truck, it was just a play car and I wasnt using it much. Also a picture of the stereo system I built for it, Another one of my hobbies that I dont do to often anymore. Ahh the good ol days!

As far as the other cars in the pic, those are my fathers, the motorcycle is mine and its still around. :D

Beautiful Foxbody! :) I bet that Vortech was a blast! One of my good buddies has a 93 Reef Blue 5.0 with a Master Power T70 turbo on it. He also bored it .030 over into a 306 ci motor and that thing rips and snorts but its clean as a show car and is a pretty good sleeper! It really is crazy how fast those cars can be. Anything on a 5.0 can be modded anyway you like it! :D

Got a couple of sweet pics of my ride, thanks to a good friend.

(Any imperfections are the result of sunlight reflecting off of my ride. Not one tiny speck of bird poop anywhere on my baby).

ROFLMAO !!! WTF ! Of course you are right ! I had brain freeze :o oh the shame :rolleyes:

I love driving it along some of the windier roads around the hills and valleys close by to my home. However I don't get to do that often as I only work 3km away from home :D SO the car is only just warming up when I get to the office. It's only done around 55,000km in 5 years. Hanging on to this one for another 3 years as the E90 is not convincingly better than this one :p

Thinking about a 5 series or an X5 next, but the M3 has been calling me for a number of years now, the price though is a bit :eek: Maybe time to pimp my ride :D ?

Hey monsterdog, what kind of mountain bike is that? A Cannondale? It looks really nice and I need to get a nice mountain bike so I can drive less and get more exercise. I am out of shape and getting a bit flabby around the mid-section. Thanks!

A 2009 VW GTI. The DSG transmission is cool, but next time I think I'll stick with a manual.

we need more p-cars. i drive a 85.5 944 n/a. it needs work, mainly paint. the PO said that the PO before him parked it under a tree so the sap ate at the clear. this is my poor attempt at photography with my g1's camera in a parking garage.

2009 Honda Element EX 4WD

Just got it about two months ago. Traded in a 2001 BMW 325xi.

Thinking about getting a t-shirt printed with the answer to the question I seem to have gotten from every friend and acquintance I have since I got the Element ... "Yes. I traded in my BMW for that !"

I drive an '06 Toyota Tundra Double Cab 4x4, with the tRD Off Road Package. I have upgraded the headlights to HID's, put an Gaylord's X-2000 hard tonneau cover, upgraded the stereo to an Alpine, and put a Go Rhino! hitchstep in. Oh, I also had extra power ports hard wired in.

This baby took my dog and I to Alaska in the Winter time. I LOVE my truck!!

Monsterdog, that bike looks sweet! What is that, anyway?

As for myself, I picked up a human locomotion device about six weeks ago.

It's been about 15 years since I did any serious riding, and I'm having a ball. And losing about 3 pounds a week, which is also nice. I'm only about a mile from where I work, so this thing actually sees more road than the Bronco nowadays.
