No pictures just yet of my current stuff (been in Korea for a year with nothing to drive but GOV Fords...). But I got my 08 Jet Black Triumph 675 is in storage/shipment to Germany, my 93 VR R1 should be on its way to Germany any day now, and I'm trying to figure out what I want to get as a DD there. Any suggestions? I'm thinking beater BMW or Audi. Something good for the snow, and cheap since I'm not gonna be brining it to my next duty station.

Rx7 Rage... I have always liked the SC300/400. The shape has aged well. Love the original design process. One of the nicest touring cars made in the last 20 years. Prefer the SC300 with the stick.

Here's my other DD.

Thanks smog guy. I don't know if it qualifies as a dream team but I like the combo.

Touché

Either way, it is a very nice car.

Did you do the swap yourself?

Ive done a couple J Series engine/ drivetrain swaps into Cressida Chassis'

I can't wait to get my hands on a SC Chassis.

Thanks, I had my buddy Glenn from Illicit Performance do the swap for me. He's gonna drop in the Getrag 6 speed tranny from a Supra TT in as well. That won't be for a few months though.

Got a nice pic of my daily driver here next to my weekend warrior race-car. I enjoy driving the 7, but nothing compares to the '91 V8 Honda Ram2500 EX-R. She's my pride and joy, I mean not bashing the RX but it's lucky to even be parked by such a beauty. Extensive mods include; fuzzy dice for an extra 15whp, duct taped mirror more down force on the right side for cornering, missing wheel covers less unsprung weight, various dents for lower coefficient of drag, and cant forget the sub in the back for a lower center of gravity when e-braking around dusty corners, etc theres just too much to list.
