Hi there American cousin,
I live in London, I drive a '95 911 (993) Carrera with the RSR front spoiler and 18 inch Turbo wheels on the road. The track stable currently consists purely of French cars Renault 5 GT Turbo 150bhp Renault Clio 172 185bhp (2 of 'em) and Renault Clio V6 285bhp Because of the ground clearance, none of them are particularly good off road except the Clio 172s... Cheers RickP |

Nice pic, Rick
Elephino, you are right about the Mazda Tribute. In fact, if I had it to do over I would consider it over the Ford because it has a slightly more taut suspension and I like the slight styling differences. However, in Detroit, in my business, it doesnt hurt to drive a blue oval badge. |

We have two vehicles in the family. A 92 Jetta that is driven by both of us and I have a 92 Ford F150 extended cab 4x4 truck with a cap on it. Its mayor attraction is that it will get me out of any trouble when I'm off hunting. Its mayor drawback is the gasoline drinking V8 engine in it. Last year's hunting trip up north was 4021 km of driving, it took 803.42 liters of gas and that cost was 639.01 can $.
But when I needed it the 4x4 got me out of trouble. |

Car has a limited slip diff in it, so there is no real advantage to having all the wheels on the ground through a corner if you can carry more speed by cutting...
Anyway, that's not extreme, this is extreme... (This next pic isn't me, but rest assured I saw that sort of angle as well...) |

[further off topic]
Reminds me of a crosswind landing I made in a Cessna 152 some years back. Fortunately it was at an unstaffed airport in Wisconsin so there is no photographic proof that it ever happened. In fact, it never happened, OK? [/further off topic] Last edited by Neil C; 19 Apr 2001 at 13:45. |

I share my living between Murrumburrah and Burpengary, with the former seeing more of me than the latter at the moment. But shortly I'll be heading for somewhere like Windaroo, it seems, with more work turning up for me close by there, and it looks like a decent place to live.
Driving frequently between the two, I naturally use my Peugeot 504 station wagon... or the Familiale version... I have a fleet of them, and dreams of putting my Jolus 203 on the road one day... |

Ilive in Brisbane Australia, and I drive Volvo V70 AWD (not the Cross Country).
AMoffat, if you are going to look at a Forrester, why not check out the V70 AWD? |

I´m English I live in Cali, Colombia and I drive a 72 Mustang Mach 1.
(My wife would probably disagree with the above statement because I often help myself to her car - a Subaru Legacy- because it does miles to the gallon and not gallons to the mile!) |
