Sorted, but too dusty for pics, weekend peeps

My Vette I shall always miss I loved that car. Back when I had two and this was just my toy. A 5,7l V8 that sounded the nuts and yes I am English!! Nothing wrong with American muscle!




It was traded in for my current, now just one car. Vx220 Turbo. This isn't my car in the photo but mine is identical. Good little car if you can live with rock hard suspension. Much faster than the Elise's apart from the latest supercharged! 0-60 4.7 blah blah. Still doesn't turn heads like me Vette did. Would get slaughtered in a drag too but quicker round the bends and not 7ft wide!

Not a car, but my main mode of transport



certainly has a motor in it!

This is a fairly old picture, I've got an open-belt primary on there now. Looks meaner now .

Unfortunately, I screwed up the paint on the rear fender not too long ago. The passenger seat(not attached in this pic) is what they call "lick-n-stick". It's just a little square pad that sticks on the fender with suction cups. I took the ol' lady out one day and left the passenger seat on, sitting in the sun. One of the suction cups completely melted into my paint and destroyed it

MR2 '98 turbo, all standard, thought about modding but cba.

The Beast...



Alternator's **** (I think) - Totally standard, except the body kit, which was factory fitted anyway.

21 years old. 2 Litre GT-R Bought for £370, gonna see how much I can get for in on auction in 2 weeks. (Me thinks not a lot)

[Pete]

The rain came so only the first one is new:







Few mods:

K&N panel filer & VXR air intake pipe, has a better sound to the engine now.

Irmscher, grill, door pins, rear badge & car mats.

Up next possibly metal pedals...

[Retro_Boy_G]

Here are my cars. Honda Civic Sport and Mazda RX7 FC2. The Mazda had just been washed and the Honda was washed after this.. so looks quite dirty. Sorry for the mega pictureness also.. Still got alot of mods to do to the RX7.. mainly interior stuff just now until i can afford for the wheels and trim/spoiler to be powdercoated white.. Has a very noisey exhaust which is awesome.. yey! Enjoy..

You insurance premiums must be skyrocket, my Vectra C 2.2i is only group 10.

How fast you been in the Mazda ?

Some inside shots would be nice too.

[Retro_Boy_G]

The insurance on having both cars is quite rubbish.. but its totally worth it.. The reason there are no inside shots is because ive just ordered a load of stuff like new wheel, dials, leds, chrome cluster.. as im trying to modernise it a bit as the steering wheel makes it look quite dated.. I don't know what the fastest ive been in it is.. probably only about 90 or something.. i prefer the thril of acceleration over top speed.. when you rape the **** out of the revs though it makes the most awesome "ding" noise which basically means "stop it please".. its funny because the rev counter is massive and smack bang in the middle of the cluster then you have this tiny speedometer at the right hand side.. it also has the most pointless backseats ever.. It's a great car though! The **** engines are very high maintanence though..

[j69]

16 valves of mayhem cheap insurance and decent mpg though

[markedkiller78]

My pride and joy. 3.2 Bmw M Coupe. 325 bhp as standard (I think it's really around 300) it loves the petrol

[Retro_Boy_G]

Got my new alloys for teh RX7!

[matt5cott]

Rays wheels, they can't have been cheap

Might need a couple of inch drop though when you fit them or it may look like a tractor
