I was going through the threads and didn't see one specific to this, so I'm curious. What's everyone drive? Or what do you want to be driving and what mods will you be making? I'm really hoping that anyone who drives an 18 wheeler will put up some pics too, and any motorcycle/trike riders. Maybe someone will see some options they didn't know were out there.

Right now, I'm driving a 2003 4x4 Dodge truck, I engineered the ram-air intake to go with the hood myself, the engine has been reprogrammed, some exhaust work done, and an upgraded drivetrain/trans. 0-60 in a lil under 8 secs and a top end just shy of 130. I would love the throw a turbo or supercharger into it one of these days. There is a Bruno Outrider in the bed that loads my chair and hand controlls inside. My first vehicle was a Grand Prix, but I'm 6'5" and it just wasn't comfortable to drive any distance. I'd love to move up to a Ram Mega cab with a big twin turbo diesel, I figure it's roomy and a fair compromise on the family mini van, lol. Also on my list is a 1971 Hemi 'Cuda, a needle-nose Kenworth or Peterbilt and a custom trike. What's the Missouri lottery up to?

Here's my baby. TGA Breeze 4. 0 to 8 mph in 6 seconds. Corners beautifully at an astounding 4 mph and costs next to bugger all to run. Eat your hearts out you gas guzzlers.

This is one of those cars from my childhood that I watched and positively drooled over, I think there are only a handful of the original rally spec cars in existence and I doubt there are any fitted with Hand controls! Or at a price I could even comprehend.

2 other "I want one of them when I grow up" cars are the Original Audi Quatro Coupe Group B rally car and the 1968 Camaro (I saw on racing here in Scotland when I was a pup and nothing could beat it, way to much acceleration and to big to pass in the corners.

[pistol_pete]

Check out this puppy
No hand controls here.....

Mind control, YEAH!!!!


(sorry, but you did ask for our 'dream' vehicles)

Oh there's Andrew now, making me jealous again...

[tsh3406]

Andrew, I would LOVE some close ups in and out of the cab. I may just have to start looking for reasonably priced K100'S

[Talan Skeels-Piggins]

I wanted this..


So I figured out how to adapt it and now I ride it around tracks in the UK.


Drive an Audi S6 Quattro Avant as a car, a 155mph estate car. I have a need for adrenaline sports and speed. Which is why I'm in a chair in the first place!

Tim...if you go with a trike, just be sure it has an independent rear suspension...the solid axels are very harsh rides...I planned out and researched my CSC trike that my SO now rides...best ride...a Hannigan trike is also smooth...those chopped ones are for around town only...a long trip on one of those would result in super pressure wound...LOL!

Holy Crap!! That's a long way to haul a pool.
We can work out a hire rate or do you wanna wait until I have my matter transporter up and running.?

Illustration? Hell no, what are you saying?

I got the guys in the ISS to take a snap as they floated past.

If you think Andrew's truck is his toy, forget it, it is his work horse. I've heard his toys include jetskis and quad bikes. And closeups of that hoist would make even a brave man weak at the knees - no room for error on that (I've seen his previous truck with same type of lift)

Mine is daily drive of Audi A3 and selling my SAAB Aero 900, but my current project is our yacht I'm modifying to be more accessible. A 25' Quarter Tonner called "Mystique". Pulling old deisel out to put in new electric motor design for easier docking and hydraulic wheel steering from custom seat system.

Can't be any worse than skydiving, lol. It may be a workhorse to some, but I spent most of my life around them and have been looking a long time for a lift that can be used on a cabover, even if it's just to go for a cruise from time to time. Those conventionals with their walk-in sleepers are no problem, but I learned to drive in a K100, so I have a soft spot for them.
