Thread: Name That Car

Old meter at 51k and I gave it away while she still kicks. I believe these 350s may go for a while. Probably out live me.
Dimonds and rust an all.

I've always wanted an Alfa Romeo p33 but hey reality kicks me in the head every now and then.







the fish.

Now I have to test the breaks on this thing. They feel a bit spongy. If I end up in the valley it's nobody's fault but mine.

Was thinking an 80's F150/250 ... but they have, from memory, a boomerang steering wheel and the one above is straight.

Hasta la vista baby.
All jokes aside I know more about this tub than the "kid" so off I go.

Tell us your story. Is it cold? Does it rain? Are your breaks the asbestos they can be?

This is a 76. 50k on her. Has A/C that still runs cold. I bought it from a guy down the road.

Chuckle, I get it. This guy builds airplanes in his garage. What was crazy was that his garage was attached to his house. Not that that is unusual here but the fact that the wall between was movable and that was remarkable.
Think about it for a second. You're gonna build an airplane in your house basically and not be able to get it out the door.

Anyway I bought the truck from him as he had a new one that he said he would use to haul his stuff to the FAA convention in Appleton Wisconsin.

Yea,I know. Should join myself. Quite the party.

My cheap chinese phone camera is not spanky enough to resolve the badge detail and I want to know what kind of unmarked motor the Gold Coast rozzers are knockin around in these days.



Wish I had had dash cam when I drove through surfers lastnight. I had obviously just missed a major drunken skirmish with blue and red lights flashing and a mob of cops.

As I was prowling slowly past the Hilton on Orchid Avenue 2 rozzers held a hand up to stop me but it was just so they could walk this slinky blonde in a tiny black minidress with her hands cuffed behind her back and her mascara running down her cheeks across the road on the parade of shame to book her in the cop shop

Would have made a great little youtube clip.

Is it a seventh generation Ford Taurus?

A seventh generation of the Ford Taurus was introduced at the 2015 Shanghai Auto Show. Unrelated to the six generations of the American-market Ford Taurus, the seventh-generation was developed by Changan Ford in conjunction with Ford of Australia. Serving as the flagship of the Changan Ford joint venture, the Taurus is an extended-wheelbase variant of the Ford Fusion (Mondeo), differing primarily in its 3.9-inch longer wheelbase and formal rear roofline. The seventh-generation Taurus has been manufactured since November 2015 by Changan Ford in its Hangzhou facility.

Derived from the Ford CD4 platform, the seventh-generation Taurus is fitted with a 2.0L EcoBoost inline-4 (an option for the sixth-generation Taurus) and a 2.7L EcoBoost V6 (used in the Fusion and Lincoln Continental), with a 6-speed automatic paired to both engines.

Since its 2015 introduction, the Changan Ford-produced Taurus has been produced solely for the Chinese market, with no considerations regarding future export.

Looks like a mid seventies Chevy Suburban, Blazer or silverado pick up.

Loopers cop car looks like a Subaru Liberty.
Also don't feed her anymore love potion beans if you want to shove her in the boot,think
what would happen if she let rip with a gigantic fart whilst in there.

Ford XR6 or XR8

They can be in anything down there. This pic came up on a group recently:


I've got no idea what sort of car this is, besides being a shitbox obviously, but you really wouldn't think it's a cop car. Apparently the roof rack has flashing lights built into it, cunning AF .

Headworx,think you have got the nod,Subi is similar but with a closer look,the Subi lights kick up a bit and also the Falcadore has a spoiler just like
the pic.

An Aussie cop car in disguise.

I should have guessed it would be a falcon and googled the taillight cluster to check.

It caught my eye because the light cluster looks like the Jaguar XF.



but the badge was wrong so I had a feeling it might be a subaru as suggested by reddog. But both of these seemed a bit odd for the roz bobbies.

Of course it would be the falcon.

Very interesting that they are toolin around extra-icognito in anonymous shitboxes too.

At least we don't have to endure seeing the pretentious "Road Policing Command" plastered on the side of those cars. What a mob of wankers.

Name that car.

its a daimler DE 36 limo.

Ok this is the name that car thread but I'll throw a bike in. This came up in a recent conversation and I've never even heard of them, despite having a real appreciation of bikes from that era. Just me, or does everyone know what this is?.

It is a Bridgestone two stroke from the 1970's. I think they stopped producing them sometime in the 70's as Bridgestone made more money selling tyres to the other Japanese motorcycle manufactuers than they did from their own motorcyles.

It sounds nice.

The White One

No classic, but a daily runner round town
