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.

dispite my current ride, style all the way
thanks in advance for taking the time to do my survey
Datsun 260z
I used to own one of those and although my head used to hit the roof I loved that car for its sporty handling and the way you slip into it like a glove.
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. (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.
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".
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!
I am not a car person, I prefer motorbikes But my current cage is an EL Falcon. My current bike is a Hyosung GT250 and hopefully my next Motorbike is a Triumph Bonneville

6. ok this is the last one... whats your preference: style or practicality?

Style if these are the only two choices but Torque and Horsepower over ride both of these options.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
3. 1959 Oldsmobile Super 88. This sucker was built like a tank. Gas mileage was probably comparable to a tank too - lol.<o:p></o:p>
