Whats your other ride?

Its pretty tempting as I can get a complete engine for the same cost as 8 pistons & the crank I know its going to need. Shame the dollar keeps strengthening every day:(

Cheers

Why is it everyone has exciting cars except me? Gonna sulk now. There's been at least one car in almost every list that I'm jealous of.

Passat 1.9T estate
Focus C-Max

There. I admitted it. Running and hiding now.



I may not be very clever but I can lift heavy things

Mite as well re-birth this topic

Here is my 68 Dodge dart (mock up) made out of a 70 Valiant regal coupe, I dont have any recent pics of it but you get the idea!

And my 1980 CM Valiant!

Not as extreme as the black one but still a quick car!

OK, as well as Peggy

I have:

LNK, my '72 Sunbeam Imp Sport - MOT'd and on the road

001-12.jpg


LYH, my son's '72 Hillman Imp DeLuxe - awaits resto'

RetroImpA.jpg


Madge, my '67 Singer Vogue saloon - awaiting top end engine rebuild plus some welding and a respray.

and my daily, a '98 Vauxhall Vectra 1.8 estate - not worthy of a pic!

Peggy drinks too much!
If I told you I was a pathological liar, would you believe me?
 
Get your finger out Barry and get that head on in your next block of time off - there's no excuse. I'll come and help - as I am now very experienced in putting 1725 heads on.
 
My current fleet includes:

Lovely crumbly Babs and her unreliable engine

My sexy little Singer Chamois Coupe:

My daily runabout - the Baby Commer Imp van

My Sunbeam Stiletto - future resto project - recently pulled out of a lock up in south london where it had been hiding since 1979 (hooked up behind my tow vehicle - LDV Convoy - which bought Peggy all the way back from Jockland):

And finally, my Triumph 2500 PI Auto, which I keep trying to sell, but cannot bring myself to do. It just a dream to drive, but now needs a bit or work doing to the body and some tweaks to the engine. Got it out the lockup today and drove back home with a big smile on my face. For those who know your Triumphs, it's a rare Facelift Mk2, which was only in production for 8 month before Truimph ditched the Fuel Injection. Not many survive:

As well as my rather rotten Commer
When it collected it:

How it sits right now:

I also have a rather rotten T25 1.9 crew cab
When i got it:

After a wash:

Predicted outcome:
t25lowered3.jpg


Mini Clubman that'll probably never ever get touched (i think scrapping it would be a better solution!)

DSC_0302.jpg


And a rather unreliable Saab 9-3 2.2 Vector Sport as my daily
When i got it:
DSC01812.jpg


During some love:
DSC02044.jpg


After after some minor mods (aero front end, carbon wrapping, colour coded bumpstrips, 35mm lowering springs, and soon to have a homebuilt duplex exhaust system+rear valance)

Also got a Saab 9000, BMW 3 series, and 2 cars i am breaking but none of these cars i have any intention of getting back on the road!
 
Chamba's selection just might upset a few of you die hards wahahahaha!

IMG_3351_2_3_4_5aaa.jpg


The truck. Gorgeous. Right, got that over with; moving on...

IMG_7661_2_3_Crop.jpg


The every day car Puma. Uttterly reliable over the 90k I've added to it, returns 45 mpg average 50 if I'm a good boy, real hoot to drive when I give it some and is very very manly.

Lambretta.jpg


The Lambretta. Still awaiting resto after 12 years.

The ladies don't believe me when I tell them I've got a black Chopper.

Chamba's selection


The truck is gorgeous you should really bring it along and show us - we'll sugest a few mods, like a fire pit on the pick-up bed[}:)] (gis a go mister)


The Puma hmmmmmm - about as manly as a beard on Megan Fox


The Lammy - I had one of them[^]

The Chopper - you'll just have to whip it out and show them, did it get singed along with your fingers:I

Well, it got as far as knutsford, which is Cheshire, I guess. Shame your back wasn't compatible with sharing the driving. :)
