Love cars, my collection is a little more varied.
VZ GTO - daily
Nissan s15 - track car (highly rating this)
Valiant VF Hardtop - almost finished project. 408, gear drives
Ford falcon xk deluxe - barn find, great condition, not sure what the plans are yet.
Land Rover ex mil series 2a FFT - great surf machine, off roader.
Now all I need is more time !
Apart from the Monaro and Cruze, I have a 1969 Jaguar 420G, current status is that the body is all sorted and painted in Botanical Green Metallic (a 2010-2011 Jag XF colour, a metallic BRG), I've rebuilt the rear suspension and am about to re-upholster the seats.
I had dreams of putting a 5.3L V12 in it, hence my log in name: Jag530G, but sanity has prevailed and I'll just do the XK6 motor. (nowadays I think about putting in an LS1)
I can't seem to upload photos for some reason, they are jpg files but nothing seems to happen. Here is the wiki entry on the Jag MK X/420G.

I spent most of my money on unreliable cars and less reliable women, the rest I wasted.

aye thanks. We are about to get cruze diesels here in the states. A bold move by an american manufacturer that refuses to put diesel in anything other than pickup trucks.
1996 Subaru Legacy (Liberty) RSB twin turbo which is on its last legs. It's done 247,000km so far.
2012 Ducati Streetfighter
Mountain bike and road bike.
The triple garage it too small!
This bit is probably the same
But this isn't, yet
We only get this in auto now. Off the mark it is doughy, but then I haven't driven a diesel car that isn't. Keep it in the torque band and it goes quite well, way better than the naturally aspirated 2.0. Didn't drive the turbo petrol because my son is on green P plates which means only diesel turbos. I was dismissive of it when he wanted to buy a Cruze but actually it is not too bad at all. He drives nearly 100km total each day to and from work and the economy is really good. Expensive at list price but with some discount was ok.

Kickstart-Harleys and V8s. That's me.
