1. Whats your favoutite pre 1990 made car
this is hard for me but the old citroen traction avant gives a wonderful gangter look or the citroen ds21, what a classic.

2. Whats your favourite current model car?
hmm... aston martin db9? why did i give myself such hard questions? porsche gt3 maybe, big porsche fan... i once considered buying an 80s' 911.

3. Of the cars you have owned, what was your favourite?
If youhavent guessed by now i am a citroen fan. i owned a BX 16trs. it wasnt fast or overly luxurious but man did it have character. it was purchased second hand and lasted me quite a while. unfortunately citroen at the time did some cost cutting on its plastics and at the time i sold it its plastics were crumbly.:confused:

4. What is your current car?
2001 holden astra 3 door. it gets me from A to B but its not particularly flash... boy do i miss my BX :(

[Volans]

1. Whats your favoutite pre 1990 made car
See picture below. It is the Hannibal 8 from the movie "The Great Race". It was driven by Professor Fate and pre-dated all James Bond cars as far as gadgets go. It was powered by 2 engines driving the 4 rear wheels. The body of the car was able to rise up on a scissor lift. It had a forward mounted cannon which could fold back below the bonnet. It had a forward mounted conical heat ray to melt snow/ice. It had a smoke screen device, rear mounted, to foil any pursuers.

2. Whats your favourite current model car?
The Chrysler PT Cruiser. I love the retro look. :D (note smilie face looks like the Chrysler grill)

3. Of the cars you have owned, what was your favourite?
Mazda 626 Eclipse Station Wagon. 1991 model. When I lived in the NT I got this car up to 200 km/h!! The tacho was reading 5,500 rpm (red lines at 6) and I was in 5th gear and I could SEE the fuel gauge moving!! The things you do when young. :screwy:

4. What is your current car?
As above....what else would an amateur astronomer drive? The car is white so I call it "The White Shadow". :P

5. How many cars have you owned?
Two.

6. ok this is the last one... whats your preference: style or practicality?
A bit of both but erring towards style. It's not really a car per se but I'd love to be able to drive around in a WWII German Half Track! :whistle:

I couldn't reply.... did a copy & paste into Microsoft Word.... closed IceInSpace... opened it again, and did a drag and drop. What do you see that I don't that signifies html, Ving?

[ving]

your post is littered with this:


not sure if it's html, but its some sort of code.... probably something ms wrod has put in?
