I had a 1971 Toyota FJ40, and built a 1992 supercharged Camaro with a mini blower. Those were my coolest, but also a couple Fiero’s, a Z32, and an E30.

…also the guy that rode a bicycle everywhere '09-'14 got hit 7 times, with the last one disabling me. So don’t get too bent over car stuff. I’ve put in over 170k miles on a bicycle since '09.

    Not that unusual if it was in its native Australia or even in America but I have a Vauxhall Monaro VXR with the big V8. Basically a rebadged version of the “hot” Monaro - the Holden/HSV Coupe GTO. Also sold as a Pontiac GTO in America. I think only around 500 of that particular model was sold here and the idea of a muscle car isn’t really a very “British” thing, you rarely see much beyond 3L V6s outside of the most expensive cars.

        Surprisingly good… I mean it is SORN atm waiting for time and money to fix it up a bit but it is ULEZ compliant! I only ever use it for fun now, I have a much more boring car for every day use. And although I’ve lived in London suburbs or commuter towns all my life I think I’ve paid the CC maybe once or twice? I refuse to drive in central london, public transport is much better for that.
