My toy/project 309 Goodwood, not quite as much of a beast as yours! Kinda reminds me of Back to the Future...




It also appears to be McFly (Michael J Fox) driving it!

Something like this? I'm currently on my 4th! Sold one, rolled one(see pics), one just rotted away in front of my eyes and finally the one above! I'm a moderator over on 309GTiOwnersClub forums, and there's still a few Goodwoods left!





Happened 11:30am ish on Sturday 18th November 2006. Came round a corner I know very well slightly too quickly, back end slid out on leaves/mud/black ice and I clipped a car going the other way. Straight into a grass bank and then up and over. Suprisingly, despite sliding along on it's roof for 20yds or so, the one piece of glass which didn't smash was the sunroof! All other glass destroyed and is currently brushed up somewhere on the side of a quiet Northumberland country road! I got out of the car with not a mark on me, bar slight cuts to the hands from tiny shards of broken glass as I clambered out of the upside down car! Fortunately I was on my way across to the missus parents farm, so I just got them to head over with the tractor and take the car back there. By 6pm Sunday the car was a bare shell and went to the scrapyard on Monday!

such a sad, sad sight mate, always had a soft spot for the 309 gti's and the goodwood especially, love the colour of em

[DaiRees]

Cool monster truck Pearl, wonder what it'd be like offroad

My other ride's a mini version

[Welly]

Shouldn't you remove that wavy sticker on the doors now Dai?

Or is the sticker the only thing holding all panels together

[DaiRees]

Nah it makes it look cuddly and somehow less offensive, the ramblers cwtch me and throw stones at all my mates

Besides it makes it even more embarrasing for the stuck lawn rovers when I drive past them

[STALLED]

Holden Commodore - But mine is Maroon...3.8L V6 - Think old school Vauxhall Senator/Omega!

[steve_earwig]

My other car is also a 406

The better the 4wd the deeper tthe crap you get stuck in

[steve_earwig]

and the more damage you'll do to it getting it out again

[jasper5]

I have a Nissan 4x4 TDi, a Nissan Micra, and a Puegeot Expert, as well as the 406.

The old SJ aint a bad offroader, yours dont look in bad nick either dai, as some may knock it for being small and lightweight, exactly the two things its got over some 2 tonne competition. And i love the commodore, specially in the Ute guise with a V8 up front and power out back, the touring cars is like old skool brittish touring cars, ( the v8 Br'utes is a good un as well ) in the days of lagunas n 406's trading paint, good old fashioned racing without the sodding red tape.
