    Is that a....... Fusion, wagon?! As boring as I find the Fusion I actually quite like it in Wagon form. Seeing as how it has English plates I'm assuming its something thats not going to wash up on these shores.

    In other, late, news, heres the grey truck, in a slight bit of snow, near some water. And I'm quite happy how the lift turned out, Just need some bigger tires.

    It's a called a Mondeo over here, but it's only just been made available, we have it in hatchback, estate and saloon form. Mine is a 4wd estate with a 2.0l 210BHP Turbo Diesel.

    Well, I had four new yokohama tires put on, and of course kept the old tires for burnouts. 245-45-17 all around like before. Also painted the cobra-r wheels in the back black, rather than the peeling graphite they were before. Then took some pictures because it was a beautiful day :), Screenshot_2016-02-28-02-41-33[1].png Screenshot_2016-02-27-16-50-19[1].png Screenshot_2016-02-28-02-41-53[1].png Screenshot_2016-02-28-02-41-26[1].png Screenshot_2016-02-27-16-50-17[1].png Screenshot_2016-02-28-02-40-53[1].png

    MX5.

    Bought these a while ago, will get around to refinishing the rims and wrapping them in new rubber eventually. The springs are going in very shortly. Hopefully won't drop the car too much as I'm not ready to blow these shocks just yet. :rolleyes:

    I just got my car today. My dad gave it to me. It was his first car, now it is my first car :)
    2806149608_b906735d62_o.jpg
    Got it as an early birthday present since my parents are getting a divorce. My mom is getting a new car, and my dad has no use for two :)

    It's a 1981 Citroën 2CV6 Special. Needs a respray though. Car is 100% rustfree, has about 117.000 km on the clock (engine needs revision (not urgently, it just tops out at 90 km/h as opposed to the 115 original). Also has an original grille from the 1960's model years, which looks way better than the original from the 80's.Thinking about maybe fitting it with a big bore kit and a powertube (50cc and about 4 BHP extra and another 4 BHP for the powertube), just to keep up with modern day traffic a bit better.

    But those are plans for the future...

    I put Kenwood 6-1/2" coaxial woofers in the deck and 4" coaxial woofers in the doors of the Corolla yesterday, along with a fancy Kenwood single-DIN head unit. It sounds amazing. It promptly blew a coolant hose.

    Now I have renamed my fleet of vehicles. The Sonoma is now known as "Probably not going to make it back" and the Corolla is "Probably not going to make it there".

    That's a pretty truck. I like trucks. V6? V8?

    Today I played with my brakes and put some nice new Brembo pads on.

    Well , its a 95, my uncle ordered it brand new, half ton 4wd, 360 (5.9), automatic, I bought it from my aunt after he passed away, when I got it, it had 73,000 miles, now it has 95,000, My only complaint about it is that it is a short bed,

    Since I got it I haven't done much to it, I replaced a dead window motor, put an aftermarket head unit in it, since the the factory one died, put a newer CB in it, since, again, the old one didnt work. Pulled the muffler off, put the grille guard on it, and last month I put a 3 inch lift on it.

    Slowly building a fleet. First one is my 2004 Grand Marquis LS/UE (127k miles), second one is my friend's new 2005 Crown Vic P-71 Street Appearance Package (113k miles) and the last one is a 2001 Grand Marquis LS (97k miles) that I almost bought from a friend instead of my current Merc.

    Yeah, When we cruise with the Merc and the Vic, people slow WAY down when we pull over. Kind of funny.
