check your exhaust system, i think some fumes have leaked into your cabin.

On my first ever visit to the drag strip i ran a 14.1 @99mph in a bog stock BA MKII xr8, i'd like to see him try to exterminate a 29o.

Errrr.... I wasn't gloating about my car people. Yes I know its a piece of poo.
Just love the Idea of a 2,200kg 6.0l V12 doing a 14.5 second 400m. Power output you ask??
just a lazy 570nm at 3,800 and 300kw at 5,200. Just imagine a few tweaks and you have a lounge room on wheels with a severe attitude problem.

Hmm..I guess I'd be happy with a brand new GT-P (Winter White with black stripes).

Or maybe a new GT500 from the states, 375kW/650Nm...swweeeett!!

A demo SLK55 AMG is hard to pass up aswell but they go for $150k :(

Decisions decisions....so where do I pick up the cash???

Stock Shelby's dyno 45orwhp, there making more than they are suppsoed to.

As for the Benz there a rip off here, you can buy an o8 SLK in the states for $68k brand new & a E63 Amg is about $8o,ooo new there and $235,ooo here. The 5.5L is an outdated engine, the new 6.2L is awsome. 38okw & 63onm n/a, apparently AMG are working on playing with a TT decompressed version to tackle the new TT Audi Rs6 & the rumoured TT M5 limited edition.

If i was being realistic, a mid to late 80's BMW 323Ci (2.3 liters of smooth, balanced, high reving 6 ) with a 5 speed. either the coupe or convertable. Someone else can have the other 80-85K. This is an M3 but you get the idea.


...or if it was someone elses money
a newer (2000 to 2003?) 330Ci


or a 65 GT350 (if i had to have a sexy muscle car i may as well have one that goes around corners, you can keep your GT500 thanks )

Actually i just want the first one. When things aren't quiet as tight financially i'm going to buy a clean 3 series (the same shape as that M3) and have it as a project car. No turbo or anything, just a mild cam and the usual NA stuff

50K or so on F6 or good second hand car then invest the rest in real estate, either investment or own house... No point in working for money, make some of it work for you...

A Turbo Ghia Territory & A Orion XR6 Turbo Ute

Should be able to get both for 100k with some Haggling lol

Can you tell I like Fords lol

A BMW M3 Just released version would be nice but blow the budget by 50k

Or Maybe a Range Rover instead of the Terra but again Budget Blowout lol

There is a nice race series running here in Victoria (and other states) with striped-out old 325I’s – relatively cheap, fun and reliable.

A New Camero when they come to Aus as another choice.

I think for 100k I could squeeze a 1930ish Rod and an F6

Magnum's Ferrari .......... tooooooooo easy!
