surely i'm not alone

since having my rx registered about 2 weeks ago, i've been driving the car pretty much every day. in just 2 weeks, i've been pulled up so far 3 times by passers by to tell me that i've got a cool car/i bet that car goes alright offroad/did i know old pug wheels fit

just so strange that i keep getting asked about the car and figured i'm surely not alone. does this happen to everyone???

(i'll put a picture of the car in my sig eventually, but it's a silver 87 rx, raised 2", 27x8.5/14 tyres, bullbar - car's been in the forum for some time now)

I may be biased, but the car is awesome. Get used to it

you got me! few small changes from that picture....no sticker on the front windscreen (windscreen was replaced), no oil pressure gauge on the a pillar, roof racks off (will only go on when using the car) and elvis on the numberplate (girlfriend's personalised plates)

I have had similar with my red 3/87 GLTA sitting standard height but looks a little tougher on 14 inch white sunraysias (bugger the apostrophe rules)

I've had some stern sideways glances from the boys in blue, young and old who hear the 2.5 inch zaust, as if to say not another rex in sheeps clothing.

heads always turning in the streets from zaust note again - much the same i have done when heard a Rex but not sen one (coz it was in a Brumby

)

Went chasing landcruisers on fire trails finding myself in compromising spots but given encouragement and compliments by the cruiser boys as to how well the auto sedan went

Or if I mention the old L Series is FACTORY TURBO !! running LPG lots wanna see under the bonnet

can't wait for my little wolf to morph into the Brumby !!

yep happened to me all the time when i had my RX, a cop even asked if i offroad raced it after he pulled me up for speeding!!! they are a head turner allright! and that one you have is a fine example of a lifted offroad RX!!

but i did have fun driving it for the 72 hrs allowed and then some

I've had this happen a couple of times in my L. Its got a nice stance to it and often people with the same car come over and ask about it and because ofthe straightthru 2 1/2 inch muffler, they also ask wat engine i'm running. just standard carby

lol (excuse the sideways photo)
