Mikmaks baby....again!

No, I'm not just posting pics to compete with isszy. I was discussing the wagon with my partner as we we gave her a wash. She was very dirty

Any hoo...
I mentioned that next time round, after she gets her Subaru, I would like to get the same thing again, except a sedan as we don't really need as much room anymore. For the first time she has told me what she likes about the wagon; the engine. Forget the load capabilities, quad airbags, cruise control or comfort; my baby likes a bit of power. In side, I was gushing.


I mentioned to her that the Ford has a bit more grunt and she said, "I'll never drive a Ford...unless its a Territory". <---(still good for half points)

I aplogise for the quality of the pics, they are just from my camera phone, but rest assured, what ever happens next in my garage, another Commodore will be on the orizon somewhere.






One of the donk to come later

Re: Mikmaks baby....again!

Sweet - I like those wheels (especially clean)

With a 5 and 9 year old, I only have one booster seat now which makes life easier in the back seat.

My wife wont let me post her pic...

It is pretty much in the bag but still not until next May (?). Rumours abound with details such as a more sport wagon setup with the same wheelbase as the sedan. Mine is a long wheelbase compared to the sedan and is the same as the ute and last generation Statesman. It's all good though as the one detail my partner preferred was about 5-6 inches chopped off the back to help with parking lots. (this is sort of nullified as the VE Wheelbase is the same as the VZ Wagon)

Yes T-Rex, I can relate to your pain

Thanks for the compliments all.

Everythings pretty rosy in Mikmak Land... at the moment anyway

Re: Mikmaks baby....again!

I take it that it was your car that was rather dirty! Both look very nice.

Re: Mikmaks baby....again!

To be honest, I didn't like the front seats and I have a nasty aversion to SUVs in general. Still, we have been keen to go camping (haven't been since the kids arrived in 04) so the AWD could actually be useful. And she does like them.

Re: Mikmaks baby....again!

Oh dear. Someone saw one of these on the weekend. Looks like the only Commodore I'll be able to afford is one of these

Re: Mikmaks baby....again!

Hehe, someone just saw their pic on the net. I am now a ****head. "But I picked a nice shot of you baby!", I pleaded.

Re: Mikmaks baby....again!

Hey, reassure her that the topless pics were only up for like half an hour, and none of us thought to copy them to our harddrives.



She really likes that Subaru? What's it like in person? I can't imagine it looking good from any angle from the pictures I've seen. Get a Viva... same overall shape for like half the money (and half the drivetrain)!

Re: Mikmaks baby....again!

Suggesting a Viva would be more dangerous than telling her about topless pics.

I thought it looked pretty good. I was horrified at the original press pics, but the real thing is a different story (yes I'm still talking about the subaru )
