What's your set of wheels.

Meet Rachel the Rover...

She's a 2001 Rover 75 Connoisseur CDTi. 2-litre turbo-diesel, heated leather seats, cruise control, 6-disc CD changer, aircon etc...
A gentleman's carriage 




For such a large car she's very good on fuel, returning an average 50 miles per gallon.

And there's also the 1971 (or should that be 1917?) Series 2 Land Rover...

Hi Squiffy 

I just luv your Landrover 

I note the serial no is Rov CII296/71.

But with consideration to the cowling paint scheme, I am wondering if it should be

Rov (OAW) CII296/71.   

Happy motoring.

Ha! Great Rover, Squiffy!

My fleet in chronological order...

1915 Peugeot type 153A. Rather major project of a car with a mysterious history. Built in 1915 but with a 1918 date stamp on the sump. As Peugeot didn't make any cars in 1918 and this model went out of production in 1916 that seems odd. It arrived in New Zealand after the war and was bodied here so assume it came here as a chassis only? The most logical suggestion is it was a military vehicle which went back to the factory then was exported. But who knows...




Then the current project, 1928 Renault KZ2 which will be a delivery van. hopefully sooner rather than later







1930 Durant 614 deluxe coupe. Fully restored and I've done 50 000 miles in it since I've had it






1971 Peugeot 404 U10 pick-up, again, fully restored







Then the two daily drivers...

1983 Porsche 944, a recent purchase which is getting a tidy-up without taking it off the road





and 1999 Peugeot 406 V6 coupe





We won't go down the track of cars I have owned...

Nice Des,

Funnily enough, I bought this at the weekend..hopefully as an investment, but to enjoy too 









1985 Porsche 928 S2

That is a stunning looking 928! In this part of the world, good 928s are hard to find and ones with a manual gearbox even harder. You've got a good one there.

[Gisbod]

Thanks Tony 

I was about to post that your collection was just showing off..

The 944 looks in great condition too. The 928 is currently having a makeover... New carpets and everything in the cabin refurbished - I won't get it back for 5 weeks or so but I can't wait! 

I'd love to have lots like yours - you must have a big garage!

Well, it might have a rate of climb something worse than a BE2

But it could probably outzoom a hopeless Dr.I in a dive

My garage is nowhere near big enough!  The Durant lives with my father in the North Island so I rarely get to use it these days. 944 is work in progress but it was cheap and straight when I got it

[Modelnut]

Warren I drive a 2004 Nissan XTERRA with 158000 miles on it and It's been a great car. Thisty, but reliable.

Those are some extremely nice cars and whole collections on the previous pages! My brother will his pants if he sees Bo's alfa's (he is an Alfa nut, can't understand him).
My rides are not that fancy for sure, I have one personal car - Mazda 3 Takumi, I picked it because of the very good crash test results as this is the car primary used by my life and she drives the kids around the busy city, so safety is priority number 1.
The second one is not mine but I use it for everything like a personal one, it is the company car (that's why I deleted the number), that I actually drive myself everyday and for family trips outside the city. It is a Skoda Octavia combi, 2.0l, 140hp which is perfect for a 4 member family and for trips outside the city

Mine's a 2000 Suzuki Baleno GLX Wagon that just hit 220000km.
Bought it new when I first got my current job and worked in Sydney. Been lugging 2 adults and 2 kids (was 3 at one stage) all over NSW and probably been places it was never intended to go.
Bland but it's been a great load hauler. I also reckon the interior is far superior to most sub $25K cars made today! (ie. my wife's i30 hatch).

Hello gentlemen,
What cars !! Unbelievable !
For me, bicycle but something special because...

I'm flying...(I'm in red and blue, number 23S). 
Best regards.

It's interesting to see what everyone else is driving.

Mine is this rather mundane Honda Accord, but I'd rather have what my niece is driving. My brother in law built two of these 1/2 scale Bugattis, one for each of my nieces. The other is in a natural metal finish. If I could fit in I'd have one myself.





Have to love those front wheels.

Tom
