*blush* I kept meaning to email to tell you they were coming, but I never quite got around to it  The new flavours are awesome, aren't they ? The Red Velvet Tim Tams literally came out on the last day before I left for Dallas.

1992 Ford Thunderbird. Drove it until it quit (beyond my financial ability to repair it, that is). Passenger side (outer) door handle was broken, driver side (inner) door handle was broken, neither window rolled down on its own and each was held up by a rubber doorstop, went through oil like crazy, went through antifreeze like crazy, blew a few radiator hoses. But hey, it got me around when I needed it.

Pete O'Hanlon: He has my permission to run it.

Mk II Ford Cortina [^] - my dad bought it for parts, and found it was better than the one he was driving. After him using it for a couple of years he stuck it in a lockup garage, and two years later we revived it after I passed my driving test.

I believe it was a 1946 Buick[^], I was 16, I had just left home and didn't have a license but I bought for $300 dollars.
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

Seem to remember a Sea Sick Steve documentary he reckoned you could buy a junker for $50 in the South...

When I got out of the service in 70 and returned home my brother had bought an old car that didn't have a hood and he carried a case of oil in the back seat.
When I asked him about the oil he said at every stoplight the passenger would have to get out and wipe oil off the windshield and at every other light the driver would have to get out and put a quart of oil in and the passenger would wipe the window. He didn't have it very long. Thank god!

Mom and dad always bought big cars for my sister. She had a '53 Buick you could hold a party in the back seat without disturbing the driver. You could also remove the key once you got it started.

Learn to drive in a Ford pickup. Dad used the truck for deliveries, so when I wrapped it around a tree they got me a '62 Ford Falcon, this was around 1973.
You could not kill the car. Put in new floor boards when the old ones rusted out. Swore it ran on four of the six cylinders. Vacuum wipers that when you step on the gas the wipers quit. Just add oil and occasionally gas and away you went.

That what I loved with that old Toyota - all you had is some glue to keep parts in place and you were OK...

Mine was a 1970s (believe 1974) old VW Beatle (original from Germany). It had a nice red colour, but seats where gone. Never had real trouble with it..
The signature is in building process.. Please wait...

Drove: This[^], but with a line of rust running about an inch above the bottom of the doors. At least until I got busy with the plastic padding and spray-paint. The interior re-defined grey.
Owned: One of these[^], but featuring original pressed-steel wheels, highly tattered roof and rust. Lots or rust. Maintained the thing myself for years, until a combination of putting myself back through uni and not being able to find work afterwords forced me to sell it. Was like dating a slightly psycho model - good to look at, was an ,erm, excellent ride, but would treat you very badly and let you down at the most inconvenient times.
Alberto Brandolini: The amount of energy necessary to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it.

Best car ever[^]!
Apart from the fact that it put out less Hp than a lawnmover and weighed as much as a Sherman tank while only being equipped with drum brakes. Still loved it!

I had two Mazda (6 and 323) in the last 12 years - the 6 was thinking it knows the road better then me, the 323 was in the garage all year...
