[iamsickofyear12]

I have an 04 XL Falcon. I need it for work, wouldn't be driving a ute otherwise. It's good though, I like it.

 

[DaddyK]

Whats you being a chick got to do with anything? Do you think your good?

BA xr8 and to a lesser extent xr6 utes are pretty awesome. Though my fave are the ford F series pick ups and chev silverado's.

omg is awwsome!
i neva eva in my whole life seen one lookin like that, its soooooo hot!
a whole new perspective on the good old brumby
how much does the guy want for it???
are u a country boy, or just love a good brumby?
must say the only thing i dont like though is the gold wheels...

 

[DaddyK]

If it didn't have the gold wheels then it would just be a brumby with a subaru blue paint job, come on! the wheels make the theme!

wrangler, yeh it's pretty nice but not for sale. The guy says he's been offered $50k for it, but turned it down. He says it's cost him $27k to date, and has spent over 700 man hours on the project (he built it with a mate). So yeh it ain't for sale!

I currently live north of Sydney on NSW's Central Coast, but last year I lived in the bush on a 120 acre property 45kms from Grafton in North-East NSW, where I received my first car: a 1981 Subaru 1800. Granted, it was only a paddock basher but I cleaned it up real nice and mucked around with it. That was the car that started my affinity with Subarus - helped me to talk my dad into buying a current model WRX as well as igniting my interest with the little Brumbs.

I currently drive a red G100R (1990) Charade TS (1.0L 3-cylinder carby), known to me and my mates as "Shaz". It certainly is no sports car, but is a genuine supercar in terms of fuel consumption. I have recorded a best figure of 6.55L/100km for it. For comparison sake, a 2005 BA Falcon XT uses around 13L/100km of fuel. From a performance point of view, with a few simple tweaks you've got a chassis begging for more power. At 700kg, it handles great for what it is.

I plan to have shadow chrome multispoke rims on my Brumby, so I agree that the gold rims look a little off colour... the current model silver WRX rims would look better.

I reckon I could sleep in a Brumby... hey if I can sleep in a Charade then I can sleep in a Brumby!

I'll probably/hopefully will have the Brumbs before my 18th next January. I'm hoping to get an '89 model (with the single headlights, not the quad ones). The first big thing I'll be working on is the interior; but upfront I'm putting on a "cat back" straight through with cannon muffler, as well as lowering it and a few other little things.

Can't wait! I've plenty of moolah saved from working at Supercheap, but it sucks not having a car to spend it all on!

I reckon I could sell my car for about $3500 to $4000. It is in excellent mechanical condition, as well as great inside and not a single dent. Superb paint as well. Might put it up for sale around November, with 12 months rego.

"Cat back" means an exhaust system from the catalytic converter right to the tailpipe, usually consisting of either mandrel bent (perfectly round bends) or press bent (pipe bend narrows, constricting exhaust flow) of whatever diameter (i.e. 2", 2.5" etc - generally the larger the better, especially on turbo cars where the better they can breathe (lower backpressure) the better. The pipe leads either into a centre muffler (not common with aftermarket exhausts) then/or into a rear muffler, usually a sports muffler or canon muffler offering better flow characteristics and lower backpressure but at the sacrifice of sound deadening ability. Well that's with a proper sports muffler anyway. People serious about their exhaust use mandrel bent piping, people more serious about their budget use press bends.

Yeh I used to live on a dirt road. Fuckin sucks. Cars are CONSTANTLY dirty and there's nothin you can do about it. The dirt finds its way into the interior and gets into the seats, the road is heaps dangerous after rain, corrugations shake the car to bits. Then you have the kamikaze suicide roos... too bad if you don't have a bullbar.

I'm gonna paint in metallic silver, "Crystal Silver Mica" as available on the current WRX, and it's gonna have twin black stripes on the bonnet. I'm going to paint the inside of the tray black. And yeh working at Supercheap does carry its benefits, such as a 25% staff discount off everything in store. I spend most of my money at Supercheap, and would do the same even if I worked elsewhere. The staff discount has saved me hundreds.

And yeh, there's nothing like being alone with a special girl out in the open under a sleeping bag on a cold night, warm from each other watching shooting stars beside the ambers of a campfire, with nothing around but the chirp of crickets and the whisper of silence.
