My daily when I am at work in Broome WA is a BMW 545i and when I am at home in Perth is a BMW 325iCoupe Convertible and my beautiful T-Bird who is the star of the show and the only one I truly enjoy driving.

Gazza, we are at Salters Point in Perth, overlooking the Canning River. It is just over the Swan River from the city of Perth itself, say 5km's away from city centre.
Rockingham is now a southern suburb of Perth thanks to urban sprawl. It is a very serene place to live and we love it, having said that we also live in Broome which is in the far north west of WA, some 2500kms away from Perth. We love that too....but the T-Bird stays in Perth!

My daily driver is a 2005 Mazda3 hatch, my first new car:



In some ways it's the opposite of the Tbird - compact, nimble, versitile. In other ways it's like it - good looking & quick.

The family car is a 1999 Honda Odyssey with 180K, but it still pulls my trailer (sorry about the fuzzy picture):



I hope to get another 2 years and 30K miles out of it.

Me?

A mountainbike.

But my wheels are the ''66 and my '55 F100.

Wife has an '84 Laser - our 'newest' car in the fleet.

I drive the white 2004 GMC Sierra SLT truck (with the VortecHighOutput package) most of the time. I also drive the grey primered 1983 Chevy Silverado LWB truck to work at times because I haul fenders, hoods, etc at the bodyshop (where I work). My father bought the '83 new. I sold the red primered 1969 Chevy C-10 SWB truck just after I married my wife & found out we were to be parents soon.

Having these 3 trucks AND my 1960 T-Bird was just too much. My wife drives a 1999 Ford Expedition so my only option back when she moved in (after our wedding) was to pave my front yard and make it a parking lot!! Well, that wasn't happening, so I picked 1 vehicle and sold it to make some room around the house.

The black 2004 GMC Sierra SLT truck & the raven black 1959 Fairlane Galaxie 500 are both my fathers. That black Galaxie 500 was bought new by my 1 of my father's brothers, it still sports the original paint & trim!!!

Mmmm, very sweet Polara, funny I was just telling a good friend of mine this morning that he needs to get his 65 Polara Vert on the road. It's sitting in his garage with a flat tire

Looking at the tudor, did you chop it?

Looking at the tudor, did you chop it?

It's a sad story - a mate found the body in Montana, offered to me in return for a favour a while back, he thought it'd make a good trailer to go behind my'36 sedan (which I've since sold)

So he had it trailered to the shippers, the guys loading the container weren't the sharpest tools in the shed: they cut the body up to fit it in the container for shipping, but instead of cutting through the sills they made huge cuts right up through the rear 1/4 panels!

It only owes me a share of the freight costs so I'm not too stressed about it. It's not roof chopped, the plan is to have a go at piecing the body back together, if it works out okay-ish I'll chop the top and channel the body over the frame.

But there's no frame, no doors, no floor, so it may even end up as a garden ornament if I screw up the welding (:

the Polara's cool to drive, has the third row of rear-facing seats. It takes a full size double air matress in the back, so if I have a few too many tasty cold adult beverages' at a party I can sleep in 'hotel Dodge'.
