Here's my pride and joy;


Not quite a GT500 but it's enough for me.

Yeah it's not bad.  Just a shame it's so damn ugly!  Has been my most reliable though.

It japanese, so reliability can be taken for granted as long as it's serviced

Wow Benner. We got the same Suzuki. Mine I have had since 03 and now have 150,000 miles on the odometer. I have only done the brakes once and the exaust.

Very reliable car.

They are very reliable.  Mine is a '95 and has done 118k miles and it is still pretty smooth and pulls well.  Being a 2 litre V6 though it does guzzle petrol a bit.

I have the 6 also but 4wd. I love the little roller scate!

Mine in a 4X4 as well.  They are fun things to drive.

I had an '89 model, rebranded as the GMC Tracker.  It was great.  340,000 kms and we replaced the original clutch!  Those little sewing machines live forever!

2 litre?  I'd be in heaven.  The 4 litre inline six in my Jeep XJ guzzles it like there's no tomorrow.

You probably wouldn't be in heaven driving it over here though.  Fuel has just gone up to £1.05 a litre.

Yeah but those 4.0 Jeep engines will last almost forever. Kinda like the old 300ci(4.9 liter) Ford inline 6. Or the (in)famous Slant-Six of the old Dodge's.

Very true, and that's why I own one.  I know several guys with XJs that have over 250,000 miles on them.

I personally have put over 200,000 on a couple 300ci Fords (F-150 & Bronco).  That is one hell of an engine.

I'm a Ford guy too, BTW.  My father has been selling them for 50 years.

Hey, even the 40-year-old 289 in my Bronco (never rebuilt) has 185,000 on it.  Here's a nice shot of the 'ol 289:

[ducktapehero]

Right now I have a 2002 Ford Focus station wagon, the one the tree fell on, and a 1998 Ford Taurus(well it's the wife's car). The Taurus has the 3.0 Duratec DOHC engine in it rated at 200 hp. Not a race car by any stretch of the imagination but it'll fly up and down these Ozark hills without a problem. It'll also hit 100 MPH pretty easily.

My Focus isn't quite so fast:D but if you don't have the air conditioner on it's OK if you're going downhill. I have to admit it's been a hell of a car though. I'm hard on cars and she keeps plugging away. It's also like a billygoat on snowy roads. And I'm amazed at how good the factory stereo sounds in it.

[NutSAK]

I know what you mean about the Focus.  I have a 2001 ZX3 with the Zetec 16 valve 2.0 in it.  It's not the most powerful thing in the world, but I've been impressed with how oil-tight the engine is, and the durability of the car in general.  It has 80,000 miles on it and doesn't burn a drop of oil between 5000-6000-mile oil changes.  I've had the used oil analyzed, and it's very clean.  It's been a great car.

Mine hits the 108 MPH speed limiter without too much fuss.

                     I'm a fan of the old 225 Slant-Six,and the 318 V8 too. And am I the only one that misses the old International Harvester Scouts?

[Dtrain]

As long as you kept oil in a 300 6' from Ford they would run forever.I could not beleive when Ford dropped the engine and the 302 as well.

I miss everything except the rust.
