Well, if your aim is that, you'd have to buy a LR3 or LR4 and hope to die driving it,
as these are widely renowned to induce a 'perma grin' ... :icon_biggrin: |

OK for road use, just not suited for high speed canyon carving.

Aqualu Industries is my neighbor right behind my shop and I have to look at those cool aluminum bodies every time I'm in my parking lot! Cheers, Dave |

I'd wager that the FJ does better on pavement than the F type does in the bush! ;-) Dave |

But I think my D3 is far better on pavement then the FJ and [ with proper offroad tyres, which I never got ] , would be comparable or better in the bush.. Maybe some australian forum member can comment on that.. I know Toyota's are disered as they can be fixed with a bent screwdriver [ so to speak ], but from the D3 forum I know in South Africa they're keen on Landrovers, as they offer unprecedented comfort offroad.. |

@RIRR.

@Unhingd.
Wow, nice classics you had ! To find the same cars through history I have to join the lists of cars of at least 3 different [ long deceased..] family members, two generations older.. But the huge gap means you drove lease boxes for about 15years ? Or you lived in a city with no garage and high parking rates, so you commuted by public transport.. :icon_denk: |
Just to make you all feel good about yourselves... ;) 1977 MG Midget (folk's car, but I got it full-time as a high-school senior) 1986 Ford EXP (2-seat Escort with ‘high output’ 1.9l 110HP!) 1989 Ford Thunderbird 3.8l V6 140HP 1992 Ford Thunderbird 4.6l ‘modular’ V8, 205HP 2001 Lincoln LS 3.0l V6, 210HP 2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid, 180HP combined *2014 F-Type V6S ( first time I had 2 cars at the same time) *2018 XE 25t AWD Prestige (traded the Mercury) *current |
Although not an F-type owner, yet (still enjoy my two XKRs too much), I do follow the forum and find this thread very interesting. My list isn't as extensive but has some things of interest.
1969 Mercury Cougar Eliminator 1973 Mercury (German) Ford Capri 1978 Datsun 280Z (still own) A series of Mercury Grand Marquis Station Wagons 1984 Volvo GL 1986 Mercury Sable Station Wagon 1988 German Ford Merkur Scorpio 1992 Chrysler Eagle Vision 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan 2004 Chrysler Pacifica 1972 De Tomaso Pantera (coming back this week after a 4 year restoration/ serious modification) 1968 Pontiac GTO (next up for restoration) 1958 Corvette (being restomodded right now) 2002 Jaguar XKR convertible (getting back next week after restoration) 2010 Jaguar XKR coupe (daily driver) 2016 Lincoln MKX Black Label I've probably forgotten 3 or 4 and have left out the kids' cars that we purchased over the years. And I am eagerly awaiting my first drive back in the Pantera with double the horsepower, 50% more torque and a new complete leather interior with C-4 leather covered, diamond quilted seats. I heard the engine fired up last week, and it is louder than an Ftype V8 could ever hope to be, simply shocking! |

Or you lived in a city with no garage and high parking rates, so you commuted by public transport.. :icon_denk: Nope, never had a lease car and never had ready access to public transportation. I still drive the MINI, GMC & ‘76 FJ40 on a regular basis. From 1990 to 2016, never found a new car worthy of spending any money on. I’ve only ever bought 4 new vehicles: the Mustang, Vette, GMC & F-Type. As indicated above, the Mustang was a huge mistake. |
Actually, your Mini is only 4 years older then my D3, my daily driver..
