Post up pics and specs of car's you have/had.....
Current project is a 1985 S10 with a GM Performance 350
\
I drove it local for a bit this spring, but then the exhaust went. Have about 3000 miles since the motor swap. Working on the pipes now.. Needs a new carb too.
And a few older pics I dug up.....
1975 Cadillac Hearse...472 with straight pipes and glass packs....loud enough to wake the dead!
1973 Caprice ( It wasn't that low....my buddy photoshopped my original pic) 400 small block and auto transmission. My wife's favorite car ever.
1973 Vega....Tunnel rammed 350 with a cage and narrowed rear.... hit165 on the highway once....lol 1970 Fairlane 500..302 with a 4 barrel and auto transmission... had manual steering and 4 wheel drums.... used to drive it across the Tappen Zee bridge a few times a week to Yonkers
1979 Malibu wagon.... Blacked out windows and corvette rally rims....plus a custom exhaust..,, fun car.....alsohad 2 different 2 door Malibu's

While this is not the one I own, it is the ssame make/model/color
1982 cadillac eldorado
Everything is digitized(excet the radio) in the old alarm clock style.
This is my '13 Mustang GT... I've only had it for about 10 months so I don't have too much done to it, just a new exhaust and some cosmetic goodies.

Just Plastidipped the wheels recently as well as treated myself to a new set of injectors and map after my ECU died. Now running 420 bhp but I need a new intercooler.
1999 Honda S2000 here. Only mods I've made are an OEM front lip (not in this photo) and the Japanese factory-option BBS wheels, which are from memory about 2kg lighter each than the standard wheels.
Brilliant car to drive on the track, though last time I had a wall tap which I've only just had repaired, and which put me off for some time

Picture no worky but I think I know which car you mean - the S2000 is a roadster type thing right? Haven't seen too many on the roads over here but I think they did sell them here.
I want to get some BBS wheels and some Alcon brakes for mine - it makes a massive difference to the weight distribution and handling on RS's but I can't justify the cost at the moment.
I don't drive to often because I'm on a great transit line, but I sometimes drive the family Fiero (83 or 84 I think). It was amusing because one time a kid in a parking lot was like: "DAD!!! its the back to the future car!!!!!" (silver paint). His dad was like "no.... that's not the same car". It was a cute moment
Insert meme: I don't always drive, but when I do people mistakenly think I can go back to the future.
This was my first car. I think I got it in 2003 or 2004. I got rid of it in 2005 or 2006 to a friend. It's a 1993 mercury tracer.
Most the kids at my highschool either had fixed up "ricers" or muslce cars.. I didn't have money for much, but my pops knew a thing or 2 and as willing to teach me! This is all thanks to him, and only possible because of him because I wouldn't of attempted it otherwise.
it was originally silver on outside with grey on grey interior. stripped it to bare metal inside dyed all the cloth black and electric blue, painted all plastic components flat black and electric blue, put blue LEDs inside the cab under glove box, light up blue pedals, etc.. These photos are before I re inserted the blue grill, or put on the wal mart spinners, with details painted to match flames of course.
As a final touch, my dad surprised my by cutting down the "Mercury Tracer" silver/black tag thing that they screw onto back of cars, and it now read "My Ricer" in the original font. Was awesome.
I sure turned some heads at school. No one that I knew ever looked funnier taking 16 seconds 0-60 to get on the highway either. To clarify, this was a tongue in cheek project, never did I think "oh man its going to look so sweet".. I was just poking fun at the dumb dropping thousands fixing up a civic or whatever instead of saving it.

Don't think it will - apparently it doesn't have type-approval or something so that means if you want to drive one in the States, you can only import it for 6 months or so I have been told. Jay Leno had a Youtube video test driving one recently and I think he mentioned it.
Well since I cant figure out how to post picture without hosting it on dakka, and putting a mini fig on my hood then taking a picture doesn't make it war gaming related, Ill post a link to another Challenger forum that shows my car Ms. Caroline:
Ms Caroline is a 2012 Challenger SXT SS/T, basically a loaded R/T without the Hemi (Daily Driver)
Will turn 7000 miles before I leave my neighborhood tomorrow and since I took the first set of photos there has been some under the hood mods as well. Extremely fun to drive, handles on rails and pretty fast for a now 320hp~ v6.
Why not get the Hemi you ask? Well first its my daily driver, I have all the same suspension stuff, all the bells and whistles for the inside and out, and 28mpg. Plus I got all the speed I needed out of my 1971 Dodge Dart Swinger with a 1989 roller-cam 360 that pulled consistent 11.2 second 1/4 miles, that car put hair on your chest, especially before the disc break swap when it had 9" non-power drums all the way around , but anyway now that I am a little older with a couple kids the Challenger is fast enough
PoS had bad brakes, couldn't climb a hill, and when I got hit with a sudden cross-wind, I found myself in the adjacent lane without maneuvering there under my own free will.
Next up was the Chevy Citation X11
This lovely little money pit was an engineering nightmare. I got it used in Hawaii and discovered that the engine was amazing. I could go from 0-20 in about two seconds. Then I discovered that going from 21-60 took about two minutes. Aside from that little performance idiosyncrasy, the engine wound up seizing on me, the brakes failed as I was on a winding road, and the catalytic converter caught fire after it was shipped back to California.
When I finally move out of my apartment and into a house later in the year, I plan on getting the "natural gas" version of the Ford F150.
Yea, it'll cost me a bit of money but look at it. That's a sweet ride.

Bummer. I saw that the ST is for sale, and I sworn I heard the RS was coming over here also. Something about Ford making all their vehicles available for all their regions...like how we finally started getting the Ford Fiesta again after so many years. Well, here's to hoping!

-"Wait a minute.....who is that Frazz is talking to in the gallery? Hmmm something is going on here.....Oh.... it seems there is some dispute over video taping of some sort......Frazz is really upset now..........wait a minute......whats he go there.......is it? Can it be?....Frazz has just unleashed his hidden weiner dog from his mini bag, while quoting shakespeares "Let slip the dogs the war!!" GG
-"Don't mind Frazzled. He's just Dakka's crazy old dude locked in the attic. He's harmless. Mostly."

Thats about right baby. Had webber carbs on that puppy for proper noise control.

Yup, they certainly sold them worldwide so I'd think they sold them wherever you are (assuming UK?)
NSX aside they were the pinnacle of Honda's engineering at the time and a celebration of Honda's 50th anniversary. ~250 horsepower from a two-litre, naturally aspirated engine. VTEC engaging at 6,500 all the way to 9,000 RPM is loooovely.
Before that I had a 1989 Eunos Roadster (that's Mazda MX-5 or Miata to most) which had ground clearance of about 60mm on adjustable suspension, driving around with about -3 degrees camber all around. Fun times aside from speed bumps and potholes
Its because ordinance is still a word.
However, firing ordinance at someone isn't nearly as threatening as firing ordnance at someone.
Ordinance is a local law, or bill, or other form of legislation.
Ordnance is high caliber explosives.
No 'I' in ordnance.
Don't drown the enemy in legislation, drown them in explosives.
