my first car was the un killable 1972 ford escort.

i should never of sold it for a shitty $200. although i own a R33 now it still was and will probably be the best car that i have ever driven. endless amounts of fun. i tought me that the stupid stuff is for off the raod not on the streets. :(

i had my own car

was a 1973 model merc 230e one of three that my uncles restored

blue paint with white leather interior

had the later model mechanically fuel injected 280e engine

shattered the transmission after driving it for 2 yrs

still got her sitting in the garage

one day ill bring her back on the road

low rider :P

as big as a boat and handled like one too

damn i miss her heheheeh

Ya know... I almost kinda prefer the days where you drove a carb fed, pushrod, live axled, leaf sprung, no power steering, 'no plastic all classic' Aussie piece of shite...

LOL...considering your wheels are worth about what you can buy many of these cars for... :)

But i could see myslef in a nice cammy/lumps 770 Valiant or a nice small block HK Monaro or XP Falcon Coupe, but at >95c/L who can afford to own a carbie +5L engine that travels 35,000kms a year like i do.

    • To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...
    • Good old Orange Park hey... 😛   f**k I miss that race track
    • lo, it was a death trap. Good times. Got any Fatz Drift Day DVDs still available?
    • Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.
    • Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?
