Chuck Most Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I know the thread is called What's your 1:1 CAR... but since so many others have shown off their trucks, here's mine- '94 Ford F-250 XLT, 5.8, AOD, two-wheel drive. Runs and drives fantastic but it sure loves keeping those dual fuel tanks empty! Other than a K&N filter, Optima battery, Pioneer CD player, and a few assorted dings and dents, it's just as it came from the factory. '81 Ford F-250, 351, 4-speed, four wheel drive, and a TON of bits and pieces from other F-series trucks. It originally had a 300 six, and the grille came off an '86. the original grille got damaged, then the '86 replacement grille got damaged, so I don't know if I want to put another grille on it if something bad happens again. It's due for a bed replacement- not sure if it'll end up with a flat stake bed or if I'll try talking a buddy out of the 9' Reading service body he has taking up space in his shed.

sports850 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Well mine are the other end of the scale from the above Every day car is a 2007 Mitsubishi Lancer , nice and shiny here as it was being detailed before I picked it up , and how it looked last weekend after having to go bush on forestry roads to bypass where the highway was blocked by an accident (goes great on slippery clay too ...) , Now the toys , 1962 Mini Sports850 , 1968 Mini van , 1981 Mini Moke Californian (1275cc engine , same as a Mini Cooper s but in a lighter body ...) 1971 Nota Fang , Mini based sports car with complete mini front subframe/motor/gearbox unit mounted behind the driver . This can be road registered and is a long term project , just waiting for the property settlement from divorce so I can extend the garage and get back into this one. 1970 Mini K shell , this one left the factory in December 1970 , same month/year I was born so it was going to be my 40th birthday project . Separation/Divorce got in the way so it might be 45th or 50th project at this rate ... Group photo of Sports850 , Fang and Van , I have a Monte Carlo Rally style roof rack (same as in the Tamiya mini rally version) and some old rally tyres to go on it so it will eventually be a ficticous rally support mini .

Chuck Kourouklis Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Now THAT is a pretty FOX. Styling-wise, the '85-'86 models were my absolute favorites of those cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet I can mow my yard in less than 7 minutes with it. And get rid of those pesky planters I have to edge around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 How much for the tractor? I bet I can mow my yard in less than 7 minutes with it. And get rid of those pesky planters I have to edge around... Heck, I could mow mine in less that 2 minutes with that, AND level the house too. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one in the ad is exactly like mine, that one has 300 hours on it and mine just turned 200 hours, I also have a set of pallet forks -you can change it from the bucket to the forks in about 5 minutes. I've changed the oil every 50 hours-used it but never abused it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Got this for the wifey - for 220 quid: Don't laugh. It may not look like much, but when the French stick a GTX badge on something, they put it inside, too. The thing goes like stink! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Would that be 220 Pounds? Why so cheap? I have no idea. Nobody else bid on it on Ebay. I drove it home all the way from Bristol (170mi) - the car didn't miss a beat. Had it MOTed the next day - no advisories, nothing. It does need new front tyres though.

Junkman Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Wow, what a nice find! Thanks! I like it too, and it's fully loaded, including A/C. We needed something to cope with almost $7.65/US-Gallon, so I thought this makes perfect sense. Edited June 1, 2012 by Junkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Would that be 220 Pounds? Why so cheap? Yep that is pounds, my understanding is quid is slang for pound, I could be wrong though. $337 for it is not bad , I dont think you could find car as nice as that one for that price here .

Junkman Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I think I just was lucky for a change. The car was listed for 220 pounds, which is roughly what you'd get from the scrapyard if you weigh it in. But nobody except me bid on it, and there was no reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
