.. No I'm not a father.. I want to have kids when I'm with the right woman at the right time. So for now I have a car to pamper and look after. I finally got my wheels and tyres on today so she's complete. So I took her down to the park up the street and we had our first proper photo session.

And here she is: (Apologies for camera phone quality)

It's a 2002 model. It's fairly close to clicking over to 72,000 kilometers. As for the cost... that's a long story.

Believe it or not, when I bought this car it was all smashed up. I didn't smash it, but we bought it from the auctions and fixed it up. My uncle paid for the car, parts and repairs as a present for me. I think all up that was around $7,000. It owes me $830 for the inspection and licensing and money for a few little things like a hubcap, headlight globes ect. The wheels were a Christmas present.

The car would be worth about $13,000 to $14,000 to buy as it is though. The car still feels tight like a new car (all the front suspension and brakes are new and the engine and gearbox are tight and don't seem to have ever been thrashed).

If only it worked like that with speed cameras.. That's why the detector is on the dash. I don't speed but it's reassurance.

Oooh shiny... What is it?

The most I know about cars is that it has 5 wheels. confused

Good job on the blanking. It's very neat compared to what I see in my shifty suburb. xp My friend's plates were stolen once and she was given a couple of speeding tickets later. Sucker...

Reminds me of a prank I wanted to play on someone... I wanted to order 30 pizzas or so and send them to an unsuspecting friend. Thing is I'd feel sorry for the pizza guy when he returns to work with 30 cold, unsold pizzas. Bloody conscience!

Anyway! Nice wheels ^^

XD It's a 2002 Holden Commodore. haha I edited my pictures in paint before I posted them to blank out the plates. I think I'd be stopped pretty quick if I drove around like that. XDDD that prank would be hilarious. Poor pizza guy would be told off probably.

Glad you like! biggrin

Ooooohhhh shiny! Good job fixing it up, it looks like new. ^_^
I take it that it runs well?

The pics remind me of all the pictures my Dad has of the various cars he's owned over the years. xd

Thanks biggrin It runs and drives like a brand new car. The motor and gearbox still feel tightish like a new car. If I changed the mileage to 5,000 I'd fool everyone. The car still has that new smell inside.

Yeah, all guys take photos of their cars. I used some of the same angles my dad used on his 7975877967097859 Toranas, One-Tonners and Kingswoods.

That's my mum's car! (Not that I'm comparing you to my mother, but she is a fine specimen of a lady). Except her's is a different model.

Pity, I thought you could've taught my shifty aquaintances a lesson or two in illegal activity. They do some pretty shoddy work that even I can better. Thing is I don't like them so I don't help. blaugh

XD Your mum is a smart lady if she drives a Commodore. Oh I do lots of shifty stuff. I avoid speeding fines by having a nice radar detector sitting above my dash XD! Good, do your shoddy work yourself and keep the money for yourself. I like to see people thinking xd

You might like the washer I made on that car.. I might take a pic of it later :p

Ouch. Motor must be getting tired after 350,000 kilometers of driving. Especially with different drivers all the time.

It's a digital dash and I've seen the units for sale on eBay or in the Quokka. By the time you buy the unit, install it and fiddle around, it's not really worth it to make an extra $1,500. Plus, the k's are all recorded by the licensing process and in the log books and it's jail time for giving haircuts.

Glad you like the car xD! I think she'll sell fine with 75,000 on the clock though :p
