My everyday car. SAAB 9.5 HOT Aero with Hirsch upgrades, so 300+bhp and 400+nm. This model is commonly known as the 'Dame Edna' because of its chromed headlamp surrounds.

And two more. The hideous van is my '78 VW LT28 that I've converted to a camper. Fitted a 2.8 Toyota Hi-Ace diesel and auto. The P5 wheel shot shows that they stick out 1", and stick in about the same. Because I'm new to this forum, I don't know the protocol for frequency of posting. I've been a mechanic since '67, and self-employed auto trans repairer since 1974. Are they Falcon wheels? They look like my XR6 wheels.

It's called a Wallaby. When I was about 4 years old, Dad was at the local market and recognized a collection of old mechanical parts in a box full of junk, so he bought it. He then rebuilt it with new woodwork and tyres. I got it for my birthday. It was ancient when he bought the parts. It then passed to my younger brother when I outgrew it, and from him it went to my youngest brother. It remained in Dad's garage until my son was old enough to ride it and it passed to him. The photo was taken about 10 years ago. It still looks the same and now sits in my shed, along with the wooden toboggan Dad made for me around the same time.

It was sitting out the back of a shed at my Father in Laws, we estimate they've had it since 1968, this is the second go, first was get rid of the rust and paint it red when my daughter was a toddler. I hot-rodded it a couple of years ago as a wall hanger for the pool room, complete with chrome bumpers and luggage rack. (haven't finished building that yet )

Nope. They're Dodge Journey. 17" by 6". Falcons etc have the wrong bolt pattern. Rovers differed from the common size, so 5X5.
Falcons and Mopar 5 stud were smaller bolt pattern. GM even smaller. Early Valiants even even smaller. Paul. NZ.

I got my Photobucket warning email yesterday, so I guess mine will start disappearing soon.
