I may have posted this before. The vehicle I drive the most is my 95 Civic base model DX with no power steering



I believe it is the 5th 92-95 civic I have owned.
D15B7 five speed
Basic intake and exhaust mods
Form Function Type 1 coil overs
tint
nice sterio
Del Sol seats
great heater
I'll drive it anywhere anytime. 45mpg average and 48mpg if I really putt putt. Zero rust on body or undercarriage. Paint is going downhill fast but other than that it is really nice shape and is 100% reliable

Changed up the daily, I wanted to build the Volvo into an overlander but I just didn't have the time with the XJ getting so much of my time/money. So went for something with a bit less mileage, tons more power, and a bit more room. Externally it's only a couple inches wider and about 6-8 inches longer though.

Since my parents got for their German Sheppard a new van, their old Sheppardcarrier had to move.
It's an 2004 Mazda Tribute 3 Litre V6 , with low mileage.
Still had a lot work to do, to have it the way i've wanted her.
After passing the MOT, and driving it for about 2 months , it had a mayor breakdown.
Nothing the mazda has any blame for it, all the rubber hoses became like dust just after touching it.
Also the radiatorhose between the engine ( V6 ) had a nice rip in it because of coming of age.
No wonder when i've poured some coolant in it it came out right away.

after spending 2 months of repair. Some parts were hard to come by. finaly had money and time left to adjust the exterior to my liking.
General Grabber AT3 tyres, Nice roofrack, Some extra Lights, Planning to build in a new Radio (with apple carplay) and CB radio. also more lights and finaly want to lift it higher.
Also some rust prevention underneath the car is and will be a good investment, German roads are in the winter times extreme salty.

Now i have 2 cars, the mazda for colder snowy times, the old mercedes W210 for traveling to my work. saving some money because cheaper to drive.

Some pics.






and of course my old W210.

Ouch this question is definitely for me, I have been traveling a lot lately and I really like to use small Mercedes and Volvo bus rentals, such a fleet I have used with coach hire in munich. And in general at home in my garage is a Mercedes S-class, which I love very much, of course over a long time using it I can say what are the disadvantages, but even with them I love it the best car.

to kick this topic new life in it, here´s my "new" daily.
Yes, the mazda stays, keep her in the garage.
that tiny silver colored midget is my new daily.
for who does not know what car it is, hold my beer...
Car: Daihatsu Cuore (also knows as charade and mira) with 5 speed manual gearbox.
The engine, 1.0 (989cc) 3 cylinder with 58HP. Build 2005, so type L251.

And yes, it´s tiny.

The mazda needs some love for the coming MOT.

Fuel is expensive these days, so that´s why the daihatsu....gesundheit.


Black: Mazda Tribute 3.0 V6 Silver: Daihatsu Cuore 1.0 3 cylinder

Coyote 2014



took me awhile to find a clean coyote. Was able to talk owner down 3100. 4wd actuators and a handfull of other stuff helped me pull the price down.

This truck has a factory eletric locker in rear axle. Ive been very impressed with.

Seller thought pinion bearings were shot. I was ready to tear into it but then noticed the whining went away in 4wd. Light bulbs lit up.
left front was unable to fully unmock


Bad one at the rear plastic melted around color

Still have my jeep just chiln in the driveway. Still more into 2wheels lately

In the winter, the Jeep is my daily.

In the summer when there’s no ice or snow and the salt is washed off the roads, it’s my 89 Celebrity. It’s in need of some new paint and rust spots fixed, but in June I’ll have been driving it for 21 years, and keeping it away from the salt is the only reason it’s still roadworthy. Got 311k and runs great, gets great mileage, doesn’t burn oil. Obviously I’m not driving it here. This picture was from a year ago but could have been from yesterday.




This is my 2 year old when I bought the car. She is now 23 and has her own place in the city.

Nice find! I have a 14 3.5. I was going to put a Truetrac in the rear, just like I had in my XJ, until I discovered the rear locker. I never had any IWE issues, but I disabled them so I never will.

you dont have 4wd?

Ive spent tons if time attemoting to get the street tread to run smooth.

Today i asked to swap for something else. I run the maxis razr mt on my jeep so i decided to do it on the truck.


Thanks. Im realy liking this thing. So far ive done the exhaust, 2" level, gtr led bulbs. The gtr bulbs are amazing. Serviced entire truck. Next up might be boss 302 intake and tunning. Then maybe fab a winch bumper high and tight. Actually i may do a clean headache rack on bed rails first

This tire has a 40k mileage warranty so far around town is very smooth. Running balance beads instead of weights tire juuuust barel clears upper control are. 295x60x20 wherls are factory no idea in back spacing. To me they look perfect
