Can't count them all but last 5 were: 2004 MINI S 2002 M5 Sedan 2000 M3 Coupe 1998 540i Sport 1996 530i My three favorite cars were a 1960 Chevy Biscayne with a 348, 1966 Olds 442, and my 1969 Plymouth Hemi Roadrunner. Yeh, I was a gear head!
I'm still trying to get my head around Big blocks small blocks, 348, 443 etc! Over here we go off what litre a car is, for example a Ford Focus is usually a 1.8l (1800cc) a MINI is 1.6 (1600cc) Range Rovers slip in at anything from 3.9l - 6.0l in V8 guise etc
Funny I'm just the opposite. I hate measuring engine displacement in liters. That's for measuring soda. :lol: :wink: 1987 Nissan Maxima (183ci V6/3.0l) 1986 Dodge MiniRam Van (134ci I-4/2.2l) 1989 Ford Thunderbird (232ci V6/3.8l) 1992 Mercury Cougar (302ci V8/4.9 or 5.0l) (Small Block) 1996 Ford Thunderbird (281ci V8/4.6l) (Modular Engine Block or "Mod Motor") 2004 VW Jetta (110ci I-4 turbo/1.8l) 2003 Saab 9-5 Aero (140ci I-4 turbo/2.3l) 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis (281ci V8/4.6l) (Modular Engine Block or "Mod Motor") 2001 Mustang GT (281ci V8/4.6l) (Mod Motor with Performance Improved "PI" heads) 2006 VW GTI (122ci I-4 turbo/2.0l) 2006 Nissan 350Z (214ci V6/3.5l) 2005 Mustang GT (281ci V8/4.6l) (Mod Motor with 3V/cylinder heads) Now, obviously the 2010 MCS which I love all 98 turbocharged cubic inches of it :cornut:
I've had a couple, first two are in the pipeyard by my brother's house, we call it the car graveyard. 1986 Pontiac 6000 STE (after the 4th engine blew, we junked it) 1995 Chevy Corsica (transmission went kaput) 2001 Ponatic Sunfire (put over 110k miles on that car, then totalled it) 2003 Ford Harley F-150, two tone nicknamed Shamu with a 5.4L V8 Supercharged engine. I loved that truck so bloody much, but we sold her to put a down payment on our house. But man do I miss that engine and the SC whine (hence why I bought a Gen 1 MINI!) 2008 Saturn Astra (hated it, traded it in for MINI May this last summer)
1970 Malibu 1974 Vega GT Wagon 1975 Corvette 1978 Ford Granada 1981 Buick 1960 Corvette 1985 Thunderbird (30th Anniv.) 1989 F-150 1991 Corvette 2000 Mustang GT Conv. 2007 MINI Conv.
