Ooh I missed this. Favourite cars, well you gotta have two choices. One you have driven and one you dream for.
For me: -
Driven – would be an Audi A6 Avant – good solid car, economical, cheap to own. Closely followed by Fords Mondeo (a great workhorse).
Dream Car – Audi R8 with a diesel donk if poss.

Aside from the R8 Audi (Euro diesel powered), the Skoda Octavia RS CDI wagon ofcourse…especially the blue ones, with the go fast stripes and chrome roof racks…special!

No there is nothing wrong with that, I was just wondering.

I prefer the facelifted model than the bug-eyed (03-04 model) one to be honest and the one before the new generation.

Nice upgrades.

I have a V6 VT Acclaim Commodore Wagon with 253,000 kms on the ODO and even though the Ecotec engine was not as good as the in-line six like in the VL Commodore, the Ecotec engine is a very reliable engine, which other people will agree.

Duck – it is a 02 Subaru Impreza RS 2.5 Litre 4cyl Automatic Sedan – The Bug Eyed model.
Which I believe is better looking than virtually every model Impreza since then.. particularly the current one.

Modifications – apart from a $2k “Custom” Alpine In Car Entertainment System.. I have added a K&N Air Filter Cold Air Intake Bosch Perfromance Spark Plugs etc.. the engine now produces approximately 140-150Kw.

I am planing to upgrade the brakes to DBA premium cross drilled ventilated rotors with 4-pot calipers

Why a Subaru and not a Holden – when I was looking for a new car the Subie was the most affordable and economical car available with the features that I wanted and was most suitable to my needs.

Prior to that I owned a VL Berlina [which I made a few similar mods to[ It was an awesome car with its 6 cylinder engine and is one of the reasons I cant understand why Holden switched over to an outdated V6

I’m surprized you do not drive a Holden Commodore, Wheelnut! (Because you love Holden’s alot as we know……….so do I!)

It’s not the ugly 2002 year model Impreza I hope?

Any mods?

Onya Alborz for lambasting Toyota, a site sponsor, for their TRD effort. AWD TRD Aurion could have been a successful niche vehicle, or similar Corolla. And thumbs down to archauic execs not realising the power of the internet and restricitng their fleet vehicles to hard copy journalists.

I think you have just about got it right in your summary of 2008. I’d like to have seen some Porsche product mentioned, particularly the GT3 RS, but perhaps you didn’t review it personally.

And while turning cars over every 5 years or less is desireable, it’s not exactly affordable for all of us, which is a shame. We’ve bought two new cars in the last 5 years, but suspect the finances will go to competing interests in the coming years.

I’ll be parochial and say a Jag XKR coupe for when I am having my mid-life crisis (i.e., no room for my kids in the back), and an XF-R for when I am the family man (when they finally come out). For weekend fun, I’ll take an EVO X thank you very much. Money is no object in this fantasy, right?

NM – Contry to your opinion I to would like to see more manufacturers in V8 supercars not just Ford and Holden,thats why im a fan of the Bathurst 12hr.Wheelnut check bathurstmotorfestival.com.au/home.asp coming up in feb.Theres two R8 clubsports entered,along with new evoX’s and all the other performance cars average people can relate to,should be good.

NM – I ‘d like to see more manufacturers in the Australian Touing Car Championship – known as the V8 Supercars.
Contrary to popular belief [of those who prefer a couple of Japanese manufacturers] All manufacturers are able to compete provided they meet the current rules regulations and criteria set down by AVESCO.

Which as it stands says that essentially the cars must be based on large family sedans that are buil tin Australia are are RWD. The cars must use a Pushrod 5.0 Litre V8 which produces 620-700bhp.

If they can do that then I can’t wait to see them at Bathurst.. probably won’t be cheering for them though

CE’s not CA’s

I don’t know about the art based minority of Car Enthuists,but the majority of CE’s have a favorite make, every major racing series would probobly colapse if people were not allowed to support a make.And i suppose Mark skaife because he supports holden is a wannabe,along with Dick Johnson(Ford) and Michael Schumacher(Ferrari).I reckon art based CA are the wannabes.
