Good old Jac, working hard.
We have a new baby, we swapped it for the yellow SII Landrover. It's in great condition, can't wait to go back and drive her.

Did I mention my new car arrives next week?
Bah, I bet it doesn't even have a manual crank starter!
Pfftt. I bet your car won't even go 0-60.
Shut up, it can't 
it's old.

I has car again. It goes brap.
It also moves. Somewhat rapidly. Videos didn't turn out though.

Sounds a bit over revved no? Then again I know nothing of modern cars. ignore me.
My dad got a new Landy, traded it in for a 90s BMW,we now have three Series Is in the farm, the new one is perfectly restored, my one is in great condition but it has the mechanics of a Series II, and the last one is mechanically perfect and original but the body work is a total mess.
Here is the new one on the right:

So I bought an EVO so I could car when my car isn't car-ing.
(the mirage doesn't count... no fun at all)
Evo 6.5, TME.
mostly stock, (intake and hks pod, coilovers, turbosmart actuator running stock boost still), 200000kms and lots of new suspension bushings. Drives amazingly well, very responsive to input, I can understand evo lyf now.[/spoiler]
Drove it 1000km to WTAC the day after I got it.
As its turns out it was just as wells as I went to do an oil change on the skyline after I got back and I found one of the oil squirters came out of the sump with the oil. Not ideal. Basically they sit under the piston and spray oil onto its unerside.
Went and saw the builder, took the engine out and they fixed it up, as the mistake was on them. All 6 squirters were knocked off clearance under the piston due to the stroker was inadequate. No damage luckily, nothign went through anythign mechanical, all they ended up doing was putting new spaced ones in, probably so they didn't need to remove any of the rotating assembly. Ended up getting the engine back in after a few more weeks, got the skyline running again last rnr. Was an immediate 200kpa increase in oil pressure across the board (actually had to turn down the oil pressure), so now i'm back to where I was 9 weeks ago: time for more boost.
Luckily I had a nice not slow fun car to take to places in the mean time

Oh, right. I bought -98 Volvo S70 2.5 Turbo couple of weeks ago. Pretty good car.
My brother and I are maybe buying a '66 Olds Delta, depending on if a car trailer comes through. Our plan is to just slap a 350 we have laying around in it, get a th400 on the cheap, and flip the car.

Its pretty cool to have both, Both very different driving cars too.
At the end of the day you'd lose more in depreciation by buying a m4 or something like that brand new then it's cost me for the evo, and hopefully the prices on it will actually go up over time.
they're a bit cheaper over here because we can import them, only paid the equivalent of 12K USD for it.
Its kinda funny though, stuff like 240z's are stupidly expensive here
Hi all, popped in again to show off my new Land Rover Series III, bought it today and I’m ridiculouaky pleased with it! Gonna be a lot of work, wiring isn’t working, the breaks are not too great and it seems like the clutch may be playing up. But we’ll see how it goes, posting from phone so I can’t seem to figure out how to copy image adress to embed it, sorry.
