this is a 93 imported MX Roadster 1.6 and all still original even down to the
radio cassette player.I’ve also got a 72 Triumph Spitfire that’s undergoing restoration at the mo
albeit a rather slow restoration 😀 -
ooo someone has a new toy in time for the sun 😀
-
Same as mine Neil only I got it in silver. Lovely car to drive feels like it is on rails. Only thing none original is number plate plinth on front and the battery as they have small gel batteries in them.

My wife used to have an MX5 fantasticJason

I would rather face Pete after Pete getting the Hulk powers than face Lynn after that post, good luck Matty.
Cars, well I have the new Megane Coupe, fair dues not a great car compared to the classics shown, but I do love the shape and its overall look.

Here’s what I’ve gone through in the last oh, 18months…changed cars every few months for a while searching for the ‘right’ one…
After all of the ‘just passed my test’ rubbish had a succession of Omega V6s (3 in a row – great cars) before dabbling in Jags for a while…
Jag XJ8 3.2
Jag XJ8 4.0 Sov LWB
Audi A8 3.7 Quattro
Jag S-type 4.0 SE
Omega Elite 3.2
Passat 1.8T (stop gap heap of crap when we got the other dog)
Omega Elite 3.2Now on an ‘economy drive’ as I can’t ‘do’ 16mpg round town any more – Mondeo 2.0 TDCI 130..actually quite nice, 40mpg – just utterly powerless and rubbish FWD.
Wish I’d never sold the Sov….miss it so much. Classic styling, plenty power, silent…and all the old boys would come over for a chat!

Ive got a Opel Corsa Sedan (school car / moms taxi) Opel Corsa Pick Up (Strangely they are now called Chevrolet corsa pick-up, but the sedan is still OPEL Corsa..?) Mazda Drifter 4×4 Turbodiesel and my favourite……Land Rover 110 V8 !!
The Landy is used for Dune Driving and Camping trips only. The fuel consumption is orrible, but all is forgiven when I drop the tyre pressure to 0,5 bar and storm up some of the highest sand dunes in the world!! (In the dunes I get 2km/litre – about 5 mpg !!)
Its a 1986 model, and I had a 5 speed gearbox fitted. Tyres are nice 10.5 x 15 x 31 Cooper ST’s.
Check out the wild places I camp at. I really pity you Europeans with all the congestion and no really wild places. (Pictures taken in the 55 THOUSAND SQUARE KILOMETRE Naukluft Park, right on my doorstep!!

quote Nicola McIntosh:wowa that does look a fun car, look how high it is :lol1:
Yeah getting it high is the easy bit, landing it again is not so easy, it’s waiting to have some serious work as I think I may have bent the chasis, possibly as a result of that second photo, it was a hard landing!
Doesn’t go bad though for basically stock 1973 Beetle suspension.D
-
is that a competition thing Darren or just mucking about? 😮 Impressive height but the landing would be hairy

Those photos were taken at a volkswagen show called vw action that is held at Santa Pod drag race strip

Phillip, I hate you !!
I,ve always considered the Speedster to be the most beautiful car ever built!
I’ll get round to building a replica before I die! The originals are WAYYY too expensive here.
-
Well Gert!
You may be in luck.I’m thinking of putting it on ebay.
This is the car that was produced on channel four’s "Dream Machine".
Check out youtube.com.
search dream machine porsche.
3 videos available of it being made.A motor bike rider won it after the show. Didn’t even have a driving license.
I bought it of him with only delivery miles on it.
Happy days!!Philip

philip please let us know if it is for sale, my favorite as well!! sorry gert!

I think its a horrible looking car and only a puffed up vw.

how many wooden spoons have you got Peter 😉
-
Nuffink wrong with it being a puffed up VW. ( Actually, the VW is spawn of the Porche, so in this case the egg came before the chicken….)
Another favourite of mine is the VW Carmann Ghia. Eish, I love old Beetles as well. I had an original 1963 (with 6 volt electrics) – only 60 000miles on the odo, and the (only) previous owner was a Volkswagen dealer. When I went to the UK after school, my folks sold it. I still get misty eyed thinking about that little jewel 🙁
-
Here is mine, all clean and ready for me to sign-write! It owned i in the UK, and brought it over to Canada with me… It takes me to the shops, it hauls stuff in the back, goes to the local cruise meets and car shows, And when the nitrous oxide is turned on, it is pretty quick for an old 1969 Dodge!

nowt particularly exciting, but i do love my volvos….. (not so much the astra lol)

quote Philip Houston:& mine!!That’s just a car that makes you smile…totally understand why people might not like it but I’m with the "I’d have one group" 😀
and Phill…The Ford Capri is just so wrong on so many angles…but still think my mums metallic purple Capri (circa 1976) was the coolest car we ever had 😳
and lastly
