No more Eseries for me. Moved onto B Series now. I still like the Eseries though but not as much as my XR6 Turbo I have now :D

probably keep the EL for the forseeable future.
still goes good, reliable, never really let me down.

something newer would be nice, but as others have said, not keen on going into debt on a newer car.

I will have it until I write it off. Then I'll buy a 4x4 Hilux duel cab, and pour money into the next project, an A/C Cobra.

would probably keep it and turn it into a track hack like some others have already said. If not, sell it off with many of my other worldy possesions and go to europe for who knows how long haha. Still, an xr6t is pretty tempting hahaha

I'll keep mine until its either written off/pinched or until I have enough cash to buy a XR6T or skyline/some import outright, and even then I'll probably keep my shitter.

Ill no doubt keep the EL once its turbo, maybe later down the track buy something a bit newer, just a BA/BF E-Gas or something,

I will keep this car for a while. I like it, it serves me well. I have no desire to get anything newer. I'd buy a BF XR ute if anything but still keep the ED.

I'll never get rid of mine. It's a car that I like, can fix any problem with it, heaps and heaps of spare parts, heaps of after market products and not many ppl do them up.

I see no point in spending 40k+ on a new car that will cost the same as mine in the end..... and it's getting harder and harder to modify new cars so i think we are on the money with the e series. I'd rather spend that money on a house or holiday.

If AU's are shit what are E series?? Don't go there mate, drive one (good one) and then judge. Too many here like to go off like grenades without sufficient knowledge on the topic at hand
only good thing about au's is watching em get beating down to a matchbox style car at a steal place :) hah

spend a few hundred on suspesion mods on a ea/el it'll out handle a au..
