OCT Rides thread

Hey guys -

Nothing too exciting here. Just a stock 2006 Ford BF XR6. I love it though, as it has leather seats, power everything, a sunroof and OMG - A/C!! None of my other cars have ever had air conditioning!! lmao - I'm such a peasant! Basically I had to upgrade when we had the baby.

This is what I had before - I loved it with all my heart!

1994 Mitsubishi Lancer GLXi

I dont really have any cool cars any more because I now have a work vehicle. Being a building supervisor, a dual cab is essential, so I have a Holden Colorado 2009 Dual Cab. Nothing special, but its free and so is the fuel, tyres, services etc.

The wife drives a 2004 Ford Territory GHIA in a cool bright Orange metallic trick paint.

I also have a 1988 Landcruiser 62 series wagon. Its my bush/beach basher and it cost me $800!!! The bar work alone is worth $1000, let alone the engine, near new tyres etc etc.

I saw a few VP's in the thread - I LOVE VP's.... had a silver S-Pak sedan, 3.8L with FE2 suspension, and it used to eat any other V6 commodore alive (including VX's, which was the newest model when I had it). Still my favourite looking commodore to this day.

I've had my fair share of cool old school carby powered V8's, but with 3 kids, a mortgage and a business to run, I dont have the time/money required to dedicate to a car like that any more.


My past cool cars, sadly all gone
1977 HX Statesman DeVille, kermit green with a cream vinyl roof, 308 V8, leather, woodgrain etc etc.
1979 ZH Fairlane, white with cream vinyl roof, 302 V8, leather, woodgrain etc etc - sweet burnouts in this machine.
1978 VB Commodore wagon, Ferrari red, huge hornet bonnet scoop, big stereo, lowered, 253 V8 - LOUD AS HELL!

The RX7 looks impressive... unlike the above quote... Im guessing speeding/burnouts??? Stuff like that is best done on a track like in one of my pics. Winton Fun Day... awesome fun, safe (in comparison to on the street) and legal plus not to mention cheap. Especially compared to having fines, cars impounded and loosing your licence.

Oooo getting an OTR & a tune will be nice. Only problem is you'll have to go mafless = big dollars

That is unfortunate, its not a good thing to loose your licence but I have to say the best thing they have ever done is to bring in the new hooning laws, now the Government & Police need to take the next step and crush the offenders vehicles.
 
Looks like ACA and TT mindwashing techniques are working..

HOONS HOONS HOONS.

Remember there are car enthusiasts too.

Car Enthusiasts enjoy their vehicles legally and go about it the right way.

Hoons use public roads to be dickheads and show offs. Ive been into cars since I was 16, of course we all do silly things when we are younger, but with a bit of age and maturity most people realise theres a tim and place for everything!
 
Here are some pics of my BA Falcon.
2.5" Cat Back, Pod Filter, F6 Lower Air Duct.
Rims, Tint, Stereo.

Nothing special, but sure beats catching the freaking bus every day :thumbsup:
