Being car nuts I assume most people have had a 'fun' car in their time?
When I was 22 I had a Mitsubishi FTO GR which was fun. The only car I've modded, mostly interior, but added stainless exhaust and air filter with Evo VI wheels.

When I was 24 I tossed up between an Evo or an S2000. Went with the S2000 which was fun, but kind of wish now I got the Evo.

Now with kids etc I have a Mondeo; nice to drive but doesn't really have the fun factor.

When I was a young bloke I drove an old Trabant 601 for a while, then an even older (as in 15yo+, can't remember) Lada1200, then as I got a bit of money a newer Trabant1.1, which was rather dangerous, a 600kg car made of nearly cardboard on bike wheels with a relatively strong engine. Oh, also been riding an MZ125cc bike for a few years.
So, really, FU you lucky SOB is all I can add to this part of the thread :D
Currently a Mitsu 380 for mine, and a Nissan Murano for the family.

My work supplies me my car and all expenses, so while a Toyota Camry isn't the most glamorous car I'm happy with the value!
Previously I owned an AUII Fairmont, an old XF Ford, and an even older Datsun 180B SSS with modded carbies and drive-train. The old Datsun had a lot of character - I used to rock up to Uni, open the door and smoke would come billowing out as for a while there it had an oil leak onto the exhaust somewhere and it came in through the vents!
Oh, and my little '87 Celica. That was a bit of fun, but managed to write that off. If only I had the practice of AC back then!

not a full blown rev head at all. I like cars but have never been obsessed. for the 1st 10-15 years i had nothing but holden v8's. Can't name them all. No didn't write them off but sure didn't look after them either. mainly HQ's. Love em. 1st car was HQ shagging wagon. Had that for years. Then went onto old premiers.
Then i grew up and started driving anything.
then i thought I'll go German. Got a vw polo, great little car. But too small for me.
Now I've just clocked over 1500 kms on my black bmw 116i sportline. It's got a smaller cc engine than my motorbike!
My Yamaha XV1900 is still my most favorite thing of all.

Ahhh, my old Datsun 180B with hotdog exhausts, striking out from my home town to go to uni, ahh good times :D

I don't even know of some of these early cars you guys had. Maybe being from the UK, or maybe you're all a lot older than me ;D
My first car was a Renault 5, followed a MKIII Ford Escort, then a Renault Laguna, then the FTO.

First car was a HD Holden (cost $600). 3-speed column shift, no synchro in 1st, had to hold the gear lever to keep it in top :)) Then graduated to a Renault 16TS ($750). I was a big spender in those days...

3 on the tree those where the days. A good foot of throw in the lever.
I trust it was a bench seat?
I'm going to request Logitech get with it and make us a tree shifter

Is he for real? Or is he teasing us?? I hope he lives in WA and we can become best friends..... ;D

No wonder you chose the 458 Fabbi.
-
Why are there two temperature guages on the 458?
-
One for coolant and one for oil

Why are there two temperature guages on the 458?
In case one breaks?

One gauge is to measure the temperature of the other gauge.

that BMW 330i will be 10 years old next month, replacing it with a M235i in a couple of weeks :)

Awesome Faz!

I have an e30 325i, a e34 540i and a VX commonwhore for when the other two are broke (all the time).
It was really surreal using a friends occulus and trying the e30 in game. Felt just like sitting in my car except I was in the left seat :o
