Only issue being about half the vehicles you listed are basically US market only.

Toyota Previa / Estima / Tarago - 1990-2000. Stock they are abysmal, but the inline 6 twin turbo out of a supra, drops right in without too much work. They can also handle 19inch rims without too much hassle at all.

The Australian Federal Police used to have one, kitted out for surveillance - it was a confiscated ride…

in Houston traffic, 70 is slow.

Did the USA ever get any of the good versions? I thought the Bathurst R's for eg were a Japan only option and the SP's (rare as rocking horse shit - 35 only and half of them were instantly turned into enduro racers) were Oz only?

A mate of mine from back in the days still has his practically pristine white SP (it did…

All rotaries like to be bounced off the red line often. Or more accurately, all rotaries HATE not being red lined regularly.

Needless to say, I desperately want one.

Posting to confirm that Jason isn't a total douche and a Jalop with Zagato in his user name agrees that THIS is how the car should be built.

End of conversation.

The gorgeous final version of the RX-7 could compete with cars from Porsche, but unfortunately it was priced like one, too. Buyers simply didn't want to pay more than $30k for something with a Mazda badge. It only lasted from '93-'95 in this country.

With a few noteable exceptions from Europe, Australia and Japan kinda have this one sewn up.

Surely this is smallest recall in the history of recalls, especially considering it's as small as a recall could possibly be.

It's a constant source of woe for American enthusiasts that we have such limited exposure to Australia's big V8 RWD family cars. They're more American than what's in American showrooms. But even more than our desire for a turbo-six Ford Falcon, we longed for a Holden ute sold here in US as a reborn El Camino. It came…

Guess you never saw the video of this car crashing? Go and check YouTube for it.

Pull the ignition barrel out, pull off the air-conditioner control knob and insert into barrel and turn? No tools needed.

Never seen the inside of one of these, but I know how stupidly easy a mid 90's Commodore is to start once you are in side of it.

"Early Console Era?" - If you mean the Play Station - that's a good 15+ years late to be called early console era.
The PC version was the only one worth playing anyway.

The Mitsubishi Montero, also known as the Mitsubishi Shogun in the United Kingdom, is so absolutely adored and beloved over here in the US that Mitsubishi stopped selling them here in 2006. Granted, that might be chalked up to all the evidence that Mitsubishi has really just given up completely in general, but it also…

Why not? To be fair, they were likely armoured when they were new.

There is no U in Colombia, but to answer your question - around 15 years.

The listings here are pretty basic so it's hard to tell what extent these cars have been reinforced, but whatever's been done is impossible to see from these photos.

Lower level armouring is mostly window films and kevlar sheeting within the panels.
The line below tells you what level armour the car has, level 3 is where it starts to be fun - actual steel armour and crazy think glass etc. Level 1 is usually window films and kevlar and 2 is generally replaced glass that is higher…
