Default Besides your FORD - What's the other car you drive

I have a BA XR6 TURBO - Which is my pride & joy - I wanted a second car to run about in, saves the KM'S on my T, petrol etc etc etc

Just sold a Green 1995 Daihatsu Feroza II SX for an updated 1997 White Nissan Pulsar Plus

My husband has the BA MK II XR8 UTE and drives a 1990 Nissan pulsar

does it have to be registered? I have a few other cars, but they don't get driven as such on public roads.

Such as an 86 corona sedan - good fun that one - built Toyota tough.

Other than that I just clock up bulk mileage on the EF, drive the EL ghia for weekends, lol yes the fords are registered.

Mazda6. The Mrs and I alternate weeks of driving our cars.

I don't mind the Mazda. It goes all right.

I enjoy the Aston DB9 from time to time, but my favourite is the crazy torque in the AMG SL55... and then, when I'm not on GT4, its the wife's Mazda 2 or the company's Rodeo.

When hubby ACTUALLY lets me drive the coupe I am driving that but ....We have a Toyota Rav4 and a 5 door Ford Festiva. Not that,that makes much difference! Still, they both run on an oily rag!! (The Toyota and Festiva I mean)

Awesome line up you've got there, we had a few of those old S's and absolutely loved them, but mostly sixes and a couple of 3.5 V8's. Never had a 6.3 though.
