    but at the same time, and whilst each person is entitled to their own opinions etc etc, this thread IS about what each VWWA member finds inspirational to THEM. and the fact is, with the serious number of tinkerers on here, something like a mint condition datsun/ early nissan, worked engine, immaculate exterior/ engine bay/ interior, is gonna be pretty inspirational. to them.

    and i'd say your 1970 holden is inspirational. to others? you said you think not. to you? yes. it's obvious.

    speaking of, what inspires YOU, rocket? apart from exorbitantly expensive exotic cars that any 12 year old can bastardize the crap out of in the latest need for speed video game...

    "Things" don't inspire me... People that achieve great things inspire me. The first person that comes to mind is Christopher Reeve. Talk about having the odds stacked against you but never losing your positive outlook. To me, THAT is what is truely inspirational. That's just one example of many. Sophie Delezio is another inspiration... To suffer as she has at such a young age but to still be happy and bring happiness to others is simply amazing! The human capacity of generosity and compassion in generasl is inspirational. It's just unfortunate it's not as prominant as greed and violence.

    Some cars, bikes and helicopters (ok and some planes) give me the "James May tingle" but I wouldn't consider them "inspirational".

    As for being argumentative, I'm not (and never will be) argumentative. I will simply voice my own ideas and opinions as passionately as other people do. If you consider that to be an argument then more fool you. I'm proud of the fact that I think and feel so strongly about everything positive in my life. If you're not, or if you can't handle or understand that, then I'm sorry.

    C'mon guys, although the title doesn't say it, this is pretty much a pic thread.

    There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it
