Nice Beemers Chris.

Here's an E39 BMW I had.

It's the 3.0 Litre turbo diesel with around 300lb ft torque, and if feathered did 45 miles per UK gallon- 36 US.

Sorry about the poor editing, it's the first time I've tried this.

Here is something different.

It's a Ford Puma which was a purpose built sports coupe.

It wasn't massively fast or expensive, but to show how good it was, it was the Top Gear car of the year when it was launched.

This was down mainly to its handling and grip, aided by a specially commissioned engine by Yamaha- I kid you not.

Here is a slightly silly clip of the Top Gear programme.

Here are a few we have had over the years: no oldies, as I'd have to scan those.

Default Here's a few of mine.

Thanks ShelbyGirl1!

We have my husband's 85 El Camino, he is restoring.
My son's 94 F150
I had to get a couple pic off Google, of my old 68 Camaro and my hub's old 70 Challenger. That pic is not of a 70 though.
I love this thread.

I cannot believe I didn't notice that. How silly of me . It was a 1999 Camry, not an Accord.
