Nice collection, Alex:cool: Bet ya have the "wish I'd kept that car" blues :D

Gilly 10-28-2003 03:45 PM

#1 '63 Impala Super Sport 327 Powerglide
2 '63 Chevy Biscayne 4 dr sedan, 6 cyl, 3 spd manual
'70 Ford Galaxie 500
'76 Olds Omega SX
'84 Buick Skylark T-Type
'88 Buick LeSabre T-Type (probably my Favorite)
'91 Buick Regal GS sedan
'96 Chevy Blazer LS (wife mostly drove it, but we bought it after we were married, so I guess that makes it communal property)
'01 Buick Regal LS (still own, wife primary driver now)
'02 (?) Chevy Trailblazer (got rid of it after a year. Bought it for the wife, she decided to hijack my Regal so we could buy:
'03 Chevy S10 pickup extended cab ZR2 (my current ride)

cycles:
'75 Kawasaki 400cc triple 2 stroke
'75 Kawasaki 750cc triple 2 stroke (Mach IV)(sold it to buy SOMEBODY an engagement ring)(sure do miss that bike sometimes)
'87 BMW K75S
http://www.bmwmotorcycles.com/heritage_1986.html

(makes up for the missing Kawi somewhat. I owned the Beemer before I met my wife, owned both of the 750's for quite awhile. The Beemer does everything well, so I definitely sold the right one, but that Kawi was really a blast to drive at times)(all 3 of the bikes I've owned are 3 cylinder models, never owned anything else)

This might be a suitable replacement for the K75S:

The Warden 10-28-2003 06:50 PM

Mine are in order of when I owned them. :) The dates are when I owned the car, and following that is the reason why I got rid of them.

1. 1974 Volkswagen Bug (April '98 - July '98) (catastrophic engine failure)
2. 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle (August '98 - May '99) (nickel & dimed me to death)
3. 1980 International-Harvester Scout II (April '99 - October 2000) (catastrophic engine failure)
4. 1984 Ford E-350 (October '00 - July '02) (inherited F-250; couldn't afford two commercial vehicles)
5. 1984 Ford F-250 (May '01 - present)
6. 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300D (July '02 - present)

Oh yeah, everything except for the Bug and the Chevy were/are diesel-powered. :cool:

Thanks. Yea especially that 56 chrysler. The 57 220S was also a nice car exept it rusted away.
that 67 chrysler 300 of yours sounds like nice one too. I always wanted a 300. I came within a whisker of buying a 61 300G hdt with the great 413 wedge engine. I used to be real soft in the head for Chrysler products.
The one I really pine for is the 56 300SL gullwing I almost bought for $6000.00 back in 1976. I just did'nt have quite enough money at the time.

I forgot to add:
70 toronadoGT
74 dodge dart swinger
66 dodge dart wagon
five /6 BMW motorbikes
and three small airplanes

Greg in Oz 10-28-2003 08:06 PM

Not many. When I find something I like I keep it for a long time.

1972 Mini Clubman GT (1977 to present day).
Looks similar to British 1275 GT but Oz versions (only manufactured 1971-72) got full Morris/Austin Cooper S mechanicals (80bhp, 1.3, nitrided crank, twin carbs, big valves, oil cooler, close ratio box, disc brakes, twin tanks, etc). My first car (my parents bought it new). I used to use it in motor sport on Sundays and drive it to work Mondays. I'll never sell this one (too rare now).

1972 Mini Clubman GT (about 1980 to 1982).
Yes, I had a second one for a while (matching colours). My friends said the two Minis looked like a pair of bookends.

1973 Mercedes-Benz 350SLC (1983 to present day).
My first MB although I used to drive my parent's '72 280SE-3.5 and my brother's '65 220S occasionally prior to this. This was my daily driver up until this year. Needs cosmetic work so I don't know whether to keep it or find a better one. I still love the W107s. A classic that drives like a modern car.

1983 Ford Laser (1989 to 1994).
A re-badged Mazda 323. My wife's car when we married. Economical but not much else.

1980 Mercedes-Benz 300TD (1994 to 1998).
Replacement for wife's Laser. A very tidy W123 wagon that took concours class wins. Practical but boring.

1992 Mercedes-Benz 180E (1998).
Oz low spec version of a 190E-1.8. Bought this to use as a daily driver because it had only 24,000km and a manual tranny. Good handling but lethargic. Sold it (to my father, brother now owns it) after a few months.

1990 Mercedes-Benz 300TE (1998 to present day).
Replacement for wife's 300TD. A regular concours class winner. A superb car in every respect. We love the W124 wagon and plan to keep it for a long time yet.

1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E-2.3 Sportline (2003 to present day).
My current daily driver. I couldn't resist this one for its original condition, rarity and 5-speed manual tranny. Most W201s here are 1.8 and 2 litre with autos. Sportline (very rare here) handling is great and I'm really enjoying this car.

240Demon 10-28-2003 08:50 PM

My list is short...but then again, I am 18...

1963 VW Bug (Looked like crap, but ran like a spotted ape!)
1966 VW Bug (In the garage, almost done restoring...shall be beautiful)
1983 MB 240D 4Spd... (Waiting for new engine on Saturday after Cylinder failure on the 15th of October, technically belongs to parents, but I drive it and bust my ass over it fixing the problems that arise occasionally)

You can almost tell the progression of one's life by the trail of cars they own. Started out with cheap economy cars; progressed to the first of several sports cars while owning family type cars and mini-vans; finally, the every day car, the kid's cars and my Benz. That was a trip down memory lane, huh?

Was the IH a full size bus, or was it Suburban-sized?

If it's the smaller of the two, I'm guessing that it was a Travelall. I came close to replacing my Scout with a '72 Travelall once, but figured that the fuel mileage would kill me :eek:

IH built some tough pickup trucks! I'm still p/o'ed that they stopped "light" truck production in 1980...my old Scout was built less than a month before they closed the plant. :(

It'd be interesting to see a factory-built IH 4x4 pickup truck with a 6.9l IDI like what I have in my Ford :D

It was Travellall style with three rows of bench seats, double side doors, and a raised roof. I do remember we bought the paint code colors for Greyhound and actually painted the thing like a bus - with the blue stripes that crossed over the roof line. Am thinking that it was owned by the railroad before me. Gas mileage was single digits.
