The ulterior purpose of this thread: to find out how old everyone is since everyone lies in the other thread.

Kinda hard to see how old - a 20 year old that has a rich family could have 30 cars by the time he is 20

Plus not everyone is putting when they were purchased.

2006 - now 2000 302 Mercury Mountaineer with the SVT H/O package (up trimmed Explorer basically with Ford go fast bits ) named Terrance that I bought off of my sister.

Needless to say Terrance underwent a sex change operation and has henceforth been known as Terri.

2008 - now 2008 135i named Roxanne




I dont have a lot of cars but Terri is a decent story

Hey Pav when i was about 8 my old man and i modified a butcher delivery bike we used a Villers 2 stroke had a rope start i recon it had at least 2hp

[sparoz]

Might as well include the misses and work cars:

00'-03' - 00' Honda CRV - nice and roomy with a kick ass Alpine system; reliability - nothing wrong in 3 years ownership; real time 4wd means you get stuck before 4wd engages; front wheel never failed to lose traction every time it takes of
03'-09' - 03' BMW E46 LCI 318i Exec - what a beautiful car; brilliant slush box and the engine never fails to entertain; many gremlins
05'-07' - 05' Mazda3 - okay car, okay reliability; numerous issues with ABS
05'-08' - 04' Ford Fiesta - great dynamics and fun to drive; it was literally falling apart
08'-09' - 07' BMW 120d - great torque and economical
09'-11' - 09' BMW 135i - nothing to add
09'-11' - 09' BMW 125i - better dynamics than the 135i, and the engine just sings; last of the greatest NA inline 6
11'- - 11' BMW 1M - fun
11'- - 11' BMW X3 30d - great engine but questionable economy; brilliant 8 speed.

[Dr Stig 2]

Questionable economy with the 30d?
We get 8.5 out of ours and I thrash it.
What are you getting Steve?

8.5 and I don't thrash it and do a bit of highway driving on the x3 - may be it's because the baby gear... and it's supposed to be 6.0 which I expect to get it in the mid 7s.

I thrashed the 1M and I get 10.3 with a tune.

May be it's my wife's driving - her 125i used to be over 10 while I got my 135i to 9.9 (and thrashing it).

[sbce90]

Wow Pete, Alpine and Zuzu! Not so much the cars in the list itself, but the fact you easily recall them all.

Also +3 for where is WAY...

[Taymaishu]

1998 WRX hatch w/ pulleys, intake, cat back and turbo timer

2003 bugeye WRX with same as above + shocks and springs (lowered fifteen mil)

2009 125i with PE, Taymaishu intake mod, Depo P82, gloss black wrap roof and fifteen pc tints.

2009 Aston Martin Vantage V12. Current car.
