The Wager...

[myspinonit]

Guys, after opting myself in, I've decided to opt out of the wager. Not that I'm going to be buying anything, but I'm just too far away to consider taking part in your getting -together- to- play type shenanigans.

And I have no interest in hockey. So there.

Cheers.

[Pigems]

The first part I get. But not liking Hockey?? Are you sure your Canadian??

Yeah. Remember the only ice here in Lotusland is manufactured or in the fridge. Didn't grow up in a winter club budget and my dad grew up in the far east. So he had no interest. I locked onto tennis at an early age. Ialso discovered in my early twenties that I could have been wearing glasses, which meant I could actually see the puck on those old Tvs. But by that time i never got hooked.

Okay I guess we can give you a pass.... This time

[Pigems]

Ok this is really getting tough now, i just sold my Mizzy's and now my PayPal has money in it, not good lol

[horty1388]

Anyone crack yet?

[Pigems]

I'm coming very close at this moment, very close lol

[Pigems]

And it's been a few days since we have heard from PD now, I wonder if he snapped and moved in with Tom Wishon??

[Nuggets]

I'm standing strong.......partly because I've got my eye on a 67 Camaro project

[Pigems]

My old boss was big in GM cars, he had a 67 RS/SS at one point. I love those cars...

[Nuggets]

Would love it, got a 500 cube cadillac motor sat here that'd make it shake the earth

However it looks like the price is starting to climb rapidly

[Pigems]

I guess we should bring the it back here Nuggets, so we're not jacking that guys blades thread. A new driver would be nice, I was poking around on ebay last night looking at them lol

[Pigems]

I used to have an 87' Mazda RX7 Turbo II, it was a fun little car. I put a new motor, in it and had it juiced up a bit. But had to sell it to pay off the driving fines haha.

[Pigems]

She was my baby

[Nuggets]

I cant be doing little sports cars I like big vehicles, mainly 4x4's as I like offroading but this is the camaro I have my eye on!

If not I may import a truck from the states, I fancy an M931A2 ex army thing to use round here for pay and play days and pissing off the locals........

[Nuggets]

That RX7 looks a lot different to the ones I see over here! Its a lot pointer

[Pigems]

It's a 2nd gen, your probably more used to seeing the 3rd gen model like this one.

Sports cars are a ton of fun, especially on those windy roads over there. If I was you I'd be eyeing a classic porch 911 or maybe lotus esprit, something that will hug those corners like it's on rails

These big American muscle cars are so heavy and don't corner like the smaller lighter cars, we'll most anyways. What do you think about the Late 70's early 80's Corvettes?? Smaller package that still has a good punch, or the 5.0 Mustangs always a popular pick as well

[Nuggets]

Lotus nope, not a fan of the shape

911 again no it's just a beetle

Muscle cars are more my thing I like V8s. I'll see how the auction goes anyway, I reckon it'll be way out of budget by the time it ends!

Plus the roads round here are fun for RWD cars

[Nuggets]

Oh as the the vette unfortunately I can't afford one

[PeanutsDaddy]

I take the family on a three day vacation. I return to find that someone has left the wager and the thread has taken a turn toward the automotive sector.

Pigs, I left you in charge. What has happened?

[Nuggets]

In a nutshell Pig sold stuff and he's getting closer to caving.......but then cars happened

Don't get me wrong, that Camaro can be one Bad A$$ Mofo of a car

I hear you on RWD though, my only two requirements when buy a car was RWD and Manual transmission

HaHaHa I thought you had buckled under the pressure and moved in with Tom, how was the vacation?

Nuggets was playing dirty mind games while you were gone trying to get me to buy clubs , so I had to change the subject to get my mind off of golf clubs lol

My two cars currently (the landrovers) are both RWD most of the time, it makes things interesting in the wet! But I fancy something faster with a bit more presence

My current car, a Honda CRV is all time AWD, no fun AT all, but it's reliable and good in all of our crazy Canadian driving conditions lol. My next speed machine will most likely be a Crotch Rocket, But with a V-Twin, Like a Honda RC51 or a Buel. Sport bike look, with Harley sound. Best of both worlds haha, but that won't be for a few years still when the Piglet is off to University

Three days of quality family time. We took the kids to the Ripley's Aquarium and the ROM in Toronto, then spent the better part of today at the African Lion Safari in Cambridge. My eldest son was in his glory. A perfect conclusion to 'Shark Week'. He purchased 'fossilized' shark teeth and a T-Rex necklace.

To continue the car theme: if money were no object I'd purchase a Shelby Cobra or a Ferrari.

To continue the golf theme: I'm not craving any clubs, but that hasn't stopped me from following the release of the mm protos and new vapor line. Paint fill can be changed, but I'm happy Tom has stayed away from the neon colour palette.

Now I want an RC51 lol, Completely Blacked out in Matte Black, with a pair of Hindles of it. I wonder if I can get one on Ebay for $80??
