Here is my 95 Ranger "Splash" I got it brand new in 95.
Posted Image

Here is the Splash sitting with what was my other ride. An 03 PT Cruiser Limeted Edition
Posted Image

Here is a pic of the PT the last day I had it. :(
Posted Image

And my replacement to the PT. An 05 Mazda 3 SP23. It is like a "chase car" of the Mazda 3. Only 1500 were made of the hatchback and of the 1,500, only 600 were made with the saddle brown leather interrior like mine. ;) This was the only package that came in this color for that year also.

And here is a shot of my primary driver on Forza 2 for Xbox360. Look familiar? This is the one I let the misses drive. ;)

my cars up for sale as of now! blooming nearly killed me self earlyer and im now scared to drive it :( a dodgey mechanic has had it at some point done the wheels bolts up to tight on the rear wheels

using one of them air gun things and has manged to ruin what i belive to be the threads in the rear hub so driving along the motorway to nigth all of a sudden MAJOR wheel wobble car starts snaking side to side and making the loudest knocking noise i ever heard

i pulled over with hazzard lights on check the wheels and theres all of 2 bolts holding it on the other 2 must have flown out some where along the motor way and the 2 left where only just holding it on (luckily i have a cross wrench in my car (due to helping a mate fit some wheels earlyer today) manged to do the 2 remaining bolts up much as possible and drove home VERY slowly

so im getting a new car will be one very much the same just not this one i cant drive a car i feel unsafe in :( is a shame cause i do love it

any one want to make an offer comes with thousands of spare parts and 2 sets of wheels and bolts

No way!! Are they yours or was it just a coincidence that the 2 were parked in the same place? That is too cool! :thumbup:

Unfortunately no. The closest they've come was a apx. 1/43rd scale plastic toy that was a mail in offer from Procter & Gamble in the early 70's. there were 4 cars in the series, a Mustang, a Cougar, I think a Maverick and the Montego GT. The bodies were molded in yellow and had a grey chassis and they came mounted on a spring loaded launcher that when placed against the rear bumper and triggered pushed the car across the floor. I found one online a couple of years ago, took the body off and painted it to match my car.
I keep hoping that Motor Max might make one some day soon.
Total production of the real car was only a little over 11,000 units for the two years it was offered(1972 & 1973), so I dont get my hopes up. :beatit:

I might be buying a lada niva soon, a little smaller than the range rover and apparently much easier to drive, plus my dad is annoyed with be about the Range Rover as i bent up his bumper when it i hit a bank offroading.

The Montego GT Registry has located 231 total for both years.

Woah rare, what happened to them all? There must have been more at one point.

Alot probably got junked, or in some cases they were rare due to factory misconception about certain things (for example my Ranger is one of 4204 known Cerulean/gray/2.3/5 spd single cabs available that year). Certain options may make a common vehicle a rarity. At one point, we had a loaded Ranger XL with alloys, rollup windows, power steering, cd player, and a 3.0L V6 5 spd. I have never seen another with that combo, much less a 1995.

I just won this truck on e-bay! I need to find somebody to drive me to Staten Island to pick it up now!

My current Splash is just the base model. No fancy features like power windows, AC, etc.

This new truck has everything I wanted in my original including the fact that it is a convertible! I have wanted to do that to my truck for years but was never able to find a kit. Now I don't have to! :thumbup:
