10 Awesome Rides Added To The Car Throttle Garage In June

I love the way that the Car Throttle community welcomes new cars into the Garage. It’s always cool to see what people are driving and working on. And our followers agree, which is why we’ve again picked out 10 of our favourite additions from last month!

Oh my. This is definitely not a rich old man’s land yacht. CTzen Mike has taken this Mercedes-Benz CL600 and really made it his own. Among the more notable modifications, Mike has taken the stock V12 and mounted it with great big turbo in the back; along with some parts taken from an SLR McLaren’s 722.6 transmission. With over 850 hours of work put in this project, the end result commands some serious respect. Way to go, Mike!

Not all build projects are as serious as Mike’s CL600. Case in point: this off-the-wall 1996 Toyota Corolla owned by CTzen LPTater (Part-time Ricer). I think it’s safe to say that there will never be another car like this in the existence of humanity. Of all the bizarre and oddly-intriguing mods on this beater (which apparently only cost LPTater $400), the five-foot Tootsie Roll is easily my favourite. The car probably belongs in a junkyard somewhere, but we’re very glad that LPTater rescued it and turned it into a piece of…umm…art. Great work!

The Dukes of Hazzard was one of my all-time favourite TV shows as a kid. The main reason? Well, aside from Daisy Duke’s cut-off jeans, the epic car chase scenes involving Bo and Luke Duke’s 1969 Dodge Charger (nicknamed ‘The General Lee’) will be etched into my memories forever. We hope that CTzen davidm_1202 loves this as much as we do. Just try not to get caught by Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane…

Wouldn’t you be excited to have a BMW M2 as a daily driver? Well, that’s what it’s like to be Gumballer, automotive photographer, and CTzen Sam Moores. Never mind the blue Ferrari F40 sitting in his garage, Sam’s urban runabout is one of the most exciting sports cars on sale today. Enjoy your new ride, Sam!

Some birthday presents are better than others. But it’s pretty hard to deny that Car Throttle moderator Griffin MacKenzie’s birthday gift is one of the best. With less than 150,000 kilometres on the clock and an excellent body for an old Datsun, who needs birthday cake?

This is a Land Rover that you won’t be seeing a footballer’s wife driving around Essex in. CTzen Reuben Pantelli’s Defender 110 is a serious piece of off-road machinery. And, to quote Mr. Regular, it’s BROWN. We love it!

A lot of Mazda Miatas (including my own) were added to the Car Throttle Garage last month. But there is one that stands out amongst the crowd, and that is CTzen Clay Cook’s 2000 NB MX-5. You won’t be mistaking this Miata for a hairdresser’s car anytime soon—Clay has put a lot of work into making this NB drive about as mean as it looks. From one Miata owner to another, good work.

Believe it or not, CTzen Brit Car Driver uploaded two awesome cars to the Car Throttle Garage this month. Although his 2003 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage is pretty spectacular, this 1969 Jaguar E-Type Roadster is nothing short of a work of art. This straight-six powered dish of petrolhead’s caviar is a glorious piece of British automotive engineering, and one that’s in beautiful condition despite being 48 years old. A true gem.

Not too many STIs stand out amongst the crowd of STIs. But CTzen kirashadow99’s exclusive Prodrive Edition blobeye sure does. With a dyno reading of nearly 300 horsepower, this Impreza has the propulsion to match its Prodrive racing pedigree. And, like many STIs, this one’s got some pretty impressive aftermarket mods on it. Put plainly, it’s a modern classic.

Last, but certainly not least, SCL Performance has graced us with something truly unique. This Lada 2108 “SHARK” looks absolutely nothing like a normal Lada 2108. But it’s not merely an exercise in racing-inspired cosmetic enhancements. Beneath the bonkers body kit and Lambo doors lies a monster powertrain. The turbocharged engine reportedly makes 300bhp, and the whole car took three years to build. We think it’s simply epic. Excellent work, SCL Performance!

If you haven’t already, make sure you add your own ride to the Car Throttle Garage!
