Our Cars (dream or actual)

@Appfaff Don't overlook old American 4x4's. International Scouts 800's can be had for reasonable prices and they're built like tanks (well, tanks with intermittent rust issues :-[). Broncos are always a great choice although they've shot up in value over the last decade. C10 Blazers are also amazing but getting harder and harder to find ones that haven't been modified to hell and back. Just my 2 cents…

Solid suggestion on the Bronco Clint!

That's a great restoration job for sure! Might have to scour the net to see what's out there… my RR search has not been too successful lol

I've always had a soft spot for old Scouts. My grandfather actually taught me how to drive his 1969 model. It was avocado green with a white top running a 304 cubic inch V8 with a 3 speed manual transmission and it lacked both power steering and brakes. It looked a lot like the one in the foreground:

Super cool! I never see scouts around here in Alabama, but I did watch a video of one of the jalop guys who bought one and was fixing it up.
When I was in DFW this spring, it seemed a lot of the guys my age were trading in their kick ups for 10-20 year old LCs and LRs. The pricing in Texas reflects such - hoping I can snag something over here before the prices increase in my neck of the woods!

Land Rover announced the Range Rover Reborn programme earlier this year, where you get an as-new three door model.
Unfortunately it'll cost you £135,000, about $200K. :o

I was looking more in the <10kUSD range lol [emoji23]

A few years back I had the chance to borrow the “company car” for a long weekend.
Of course at no point did I exceed the posted speed limit. And I definitely didn’t pull 1.0G of lateral acceleration inside a National Park.
-
The fastest speed I clocked in that GT-R wouldn’t have cracked the company top 10 if the rumors are to be believed.
