So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

What is it Cossie ?

Ford Sierra XR4I 4x4 tarmac rally car with a special V6 Cosworth 24 valve, quad cam engine, the main reason why I bought it. The engine is worth more than the rest of the car. No idea what I'm going to do with it, certainly not rally it, I wasn't very good 50 years ago, doubt I'm any better now!
Seemed like a good idea at the time...

We finally have a tow bar with working loom, they had the car for the the time we were away, and it took another 3 goes to get the updated codes from Germany.

We've just replaced our Range Rover Sport with a Golf GTI. Sold the caravan, so no need for a tow vehicle any more.View attachment 479899

Did you order a tow bar for it? :)

Definitely young folks.. we occasionally have a ride in a GTI.. we have to get down on hands and knees to crawl in and need a ramp to climb back up and out.
 
It's finally on it's way! No idea when I will get it though. It's on it's way with the Toyota my friend sold to a guy in Gosford.hat is it Cossie ?

What is it Cossie ?

Just before CV19 met a guy who imported an Austin~Wolseley from Christchurch, NZ to Victoria. Went on a large roll on~roll off car carrier ship via Japan. Driven on and of the ship.

Roll on, roll off is preferable, but as the other car was coming over as well and they are both coming in under the rally car import scheme, it was easier for me to get someone who has done this previously to do it. He runs cars registered here in NZ rallies fairly regularly.

This Barry's old Celica (the one in the container) at Otago last year, my photos.
