Only on this world. You'll be flying in a different form perhaps after walking through Death's door.Busy is all that I know and to be honest there is a lot
left to get done and I'm going to be dead a long time![]()
Hello Happyrain, wondered how many of the gang are still aroundhappyrain wrote:hi roxie. awesome picture. thanks for checking in =) what kind of subie is that ? impreza or legacy ?
I used to stack two skateboards on top of each other and then ride down the hill doing a handstand on top of this stack. Hmmmm, maybe I should try this againSandy wrote:Those skate boards can be wily creatures!

Yes, my wife had the WRX STi actually, now my daughter has claimed it. Subaru is well represented in Canada overall but there is no dealer in my city.happyrain wrote:your wife had an STI ? =O that's awesome. was it yours originally ?
i had an impreza sport and traded it in for a WRX. subaru's aren't to popular where i'm from. i'm thinking it's the opposite where you live.
the x3's are nice
thanks for sharing
well, take care
*signing off*
Sure are popular here in Aus, although its curious the sports car that they make with Toyota, Toyota out sells Subaru 6 or 7 to 1, yet they are really the same car, and as its a Subie engine, I would probably opt for the real deal to service it. But I don't own a subie. Even though I am a car nut. Have had the hots lately for an Abarth 500. Need to get over it?roxiedog13 wrote:

Seems I remember a photo of you doing a hands stand after a long hike on the edge of one of your countries gorgeous overlooks.I used to stack two skateboards on top of each other and then ride down the hill doing a handstand on top of this stack. Hmmmm, maybe I should try this again![]()

Had to Google Abarth 500, never heard of that before. Looks like the Fiat 500 they are selling in North America, well, in Canada anyway. Looks like a lot of fun for sure and as they say, "whatever turns your crank."Geoff wrote:Sure are popular here in Aus, although its curious the sports car that they make with Toyota, Toyota out sells Subaru 6 or 7 to 1, yet they are really the same car, and as its a Subie engine, I would probably opt for the real deal to service it.

You know what, that handstand has been my thing. Every mountain climbed, major landmark or city, skyscraper , etc. has been photographed with me doing the handstand. At thirteen doing that on a skateboardSandy wrote:Hey Roxie,Seems I remember a photo of you doing a hands stand after a long hike on the edge of one of your countries gorgeous overlooks.I used to stack two skateboards on top of each other and then ride down the hill doing a handstand on top of this stack.

Hmmm maybe a few practice tries with a couple of spotters might be in order, eh? Or how about instead a nice glass of wine while watching a spectacular sunset.Don't pay any attention to me... you do what lights your fire my friend... just please be careful and no mistakes!

Oh yes I remember them, but first I remembered the Cosworth Escort called the RS2000, but the Sierra was the next gen. I also have a "fun car" bit don't like to mention it in public. Its German, with a rear engine. I am lucky to still have my licence but then I don't drive it often.roxiedog13 wrote:
My car is a Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth. Was very popular in Europe way back in the mid to late 80's. My car actually started life as the North American version, a XR4Ti Merkur . I bought it originally in the 80's and used
it as a family car for 20 + years. It took me almost 10 years to find all the parts and rebuild it as the European version, the RS500. I keep it in the garage and drive on special occasions only, next summer will be 30 years
since I purchased it . Both me and the car are officially antiques, I believe the car is looking the better.
That Abarth with 240KW would be quite nimble I'm sure, looks like the car could be in the 1000KG range so that would make it VERY lively . My RS500 is only 1000kg and 260 KW , also rear wheel drive which makes it quite funGeoff wrote:Oh yes I remember them, but first I remembered the Cosworth Escort called the RS2000, but the Sierra was the next gen.

The Abarth has a forged crank shaft, forged pistons and puts out about 180kw in a tiny car. You can bolt on a turbo for $1500 to get 240 kw. Actually there is also a Ferrari version of that fiat, but thats very serious money.

ALways liked the BMWTii though I didn't know the model number until you mentioned it here. There are a few of those around my city, some older guys who know and can appreciate the vehicle I suppose.Geoff wrote:Well until 10 years ago I had a pristine 2002 BMW tii - 1974 model year. I passed it on to my son, who has kept it the last ten years. I was fortunate to buy a new 2002 in London in 1972 and have loved them ever since. Seen a few 2002 turbos on offer, but the issue with a pristine classic is you cant do much without affecting the value. But they look awesome.

Wow, that looks fantastic. I wished Halloween was such a big deal around where I live. I love the creativity.roxiedog13 wrote:Have to find my picture from this Halloween and post it. I did go overboard again, it gets bigger every year. The big kid in my just cannot let go just yet.![]()
You are such a special man, Roxie! Every neighbourhood needs at least one of you!either way I have more fun than the kids
