Living in Malta we do not even know how snow is made. Sun all year round with some cold and rain in the winter. Thats all.

okay... okay... my soul just sinks when I see all your FD's covered in snow What's up with that? Here's the question... do you guys have to park it outside because you have to? and are you driving your FD's in the winter? Why??? I got mine stored away (it never sees snow or rain), and I use my beater for the winter... not dissin' you guys, just saying that maybe you should invest in a cheap beater so your FD stays unharmed by the elements

My FD is staying outside, but it is under a cover; the TR6 gets the garage space. I rarely drive it in the winter, but on a nice clear, crisp day I'll take her out for a spin.

Well in my case I have to park mine outside. The viper and the bmw take the garage spots and the FD doesn't get driven in the winter. I am a student and in the winter time I simply hitch a ride so it isn't a big deal. If need be there are other cars available for me to drive, but with the snow and ice I'm not planning on driving much now anyway.

LOL Thats soo funny how you said this cause im about in the same predicament. Im buying a house and the current house im looking for only has an indoor garage for 1 car and my next toy WILL be a viper and i really dont want to sell the FD but if i dont, i was deciding which car would have the nice, safe spot. Of course the MORE expensive car will have to take it lol

btw, what year and model is that viper? And do you know if he is selling it?

I dont mean to sound fishy but that pic looks chopped. I dont mean to doubt you either but why does it look like that?

Either way, that car looks hot. Is he selling it? lol

Im in the market for a GTS though.

I had to reduce the size of the pic and I guess it didn't come out too clear. Sorry, its not for sale at the moment lol. I just took a few pics of it in my garage a minute ago, I can't have anyone thinking I'm a liar now Pardon the car cover, I didn't realise he had it on and I was too lazy to take it off.









Hope thats proof enough lol

What a B.A.

Viper....FD...BMW...

I hate you.

My ideal situation is to have a '91 white on black FC as my daily, and have my FD at ~450rwhp as my weekend..

And then throw in my '89 Honda Accord if I decide I wanna actually save some money on gas.

:P
