Since I like badges, have a couple of pics of my current ride. Day one when I picked it up from the dealer...



...and it's first road trip down to Denmark, Western Australia. It was not an entirely comfortable or uneventful trip.



Love it to bits, but it's similar to a high maintenance girlfriend, let's put it that way.

Got a puncture (no fault of the car there, but it was really difficult to find a spare on Boxing Day in regional WA, obviously), but I also found out my car (or maybe all Mercedes AMGs) aren't exactly built for ride comfort, and WA regional roads don't use the quietest or smoothest tarmac around.

It's great for city driving, but far from a grand tourer.

V8 bi-turbo?

2016 Audi S6 Prestige
Bit long in the tooth now but for a V8 Twin Turbo that they tuned down... its very nice all things considered.
The best car I had was the 25th Anniversary S4 number 18 of 250. That NA V8 and the 6 speed manual was just epic.

Loved that damn car.

I wish. Don't have the $$$.

AMG A35.

Ooft a tough thread for me. This ‘beauty’ is my 2013 Holden Barina… My first car and was bought long before I had gotten in to cars. She’s cost me almost as much in repairs as the thing cost to buy. Fortunately this shit box was the thing that inspired me to learn more about cars to avoid this happening again and now I’ve fallen in love, maybe it was a good thing. First House was finally purchased a couple months ago so now a new upgrade is on the horizon very soon!

Reminds me of the Barina we owned back in the early ‘00’s.
It wasn’t your Asian built version, but the Spanish built Opel version.
Ours was a dark gold coloured SRi. An absolute dream to drive with its upgraded 1.8ltr engine in a light 3 door hatch configuration, ”short” shift 5 speed gearbox, sports suspension and body kit.
You could throw it around with confidence.
My greatest memory was the look on the faces of V8 Commodore drivers off the lights. Because it had much more power than the asthmatic 1.4ltr that was normally installed in Barina’s, and was half the weight of the Commodore, the first 100-150 metres left them in the dust. You could see the faces torturing in your rear view mirror, trying desperately to get that weight up to speed. They simply couldn’t believe it. By the 200mtr mark though…..

Here is my 4th love (apparently the wife and kids come first!)

R32 GTR with the TH1 colour code (rare), had it since 2007. Its a touch lower than this pic now.

I used it as my daily for 12 years. Ahhh, those were the days!
