The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

From the beginning...
1988 Miny City E (First little project, got for free)
1990 Manta 1.8 (Brown with orange interior! Bought of a mate in the pub)
1990 Fiesta 1.1 (Rubbish car but best I could afford to run at the time)
1999 Fiesta 1.25 (Loved it at the time nippy and seemed to handle well)
1999 Fiesta 1.25 (Zetec model, so bit sportier looking and 3 door)
1992 Sierra Sapphire 2.0l DOHC (Donor car)
1995 106 S1 Rallye (Very fun car, lightweight and awesome handling)
1980 Range Rover 3 Door (Bought off another mate in the pub for a good deal, under refurb)
2006 MK Indy, built and just waiting for SVA to be sorted.
The best? Ive only driven the Indy to MOT and back, so never pushed it but definately put a big smile on my face. But the rallye i have pushed close
to its limits and its so much fun, power doesnt kick in till over 5k revs and pulls all the way to 7250 rpm.
GeoffB, im sure you will back me up in saying the rallye is probably as close to a locost you can get in a tin top. Small relativly low power engine,
but light weight and amazing handling.

I'm 28, passed my test at 17 in 1994
Road Cars -
1987 VW Polo - , fwd pile of shite
1986 Opel Manta GTE Coupe - , first proper car, taught me to weld very thin rusty metal and how to powerslide!
1988 Opel Manta GTE Exclusive - put an XE 16v in it on some nice Jenvey throttle bodies, 200hp + rwd, great fun, my car through most of college, great
for scaring fellow students!
1988 Sierra XR4x4 2.8 - replaced the Manta after a truck wrote it off
1988 Peugeot 205 GTI 1.6 - tempted to try it and was a bit disappointed, fun, but still fwd crap!
1987 Ford Capri 2.8i Special - such a hoot, made me smile every day, got me 8 points for scaring a horse, "driving without reaosnable
consideration" apparently
1982 Ford Granada 2.8i Special, very rare manual one, superb car, better built than anything else I have ever been in, incl BMW's etc. Every
conceivable extra in 1982!!! Best £400 I ever spend, never welded, even the aircon and heated seats still worked, love the electric joystick seat
adjusters!
1990 Ford Sierra XR4x4 2.9 - current car, just won't die. A big £600 investment 3 years ago, said I'd get rid of it when it failed the
MOT, so it promptly passed 3 in a row with no work!
Non-Road cars!
1976 Opel Manta Coupe Rally car
1979 Opel Manta Berlinetta Coupe
1985 Opel Manta GSI Coupe
Mini Autocross Car
Peugeot 205 RWD XE powered rally car
Vauxhall Astra GTE 16v
Grasstrack Special
Another Grasstrack special
Vauxhall Cavalier SRI
Locost!
Plus a load of others that I have forgotten!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

106 rallye
yeah greggors84, i loved that car.
i used to drive it everywhere on the limiter about 8000rpm..ispent about 2.5K on that thing having it flowed ,ported blah blah blah..(it was only
worth 3k..too much money and no responabilitys..those were the days..)
i used to love traffic lights grand prixs..
one time pulling away from tesco in gillingham where i lived i had a race and floored it in every gear and only changing when the limiter
cuttin..after a while i was doing about 120 (alledgley) in a lower speed zone driving with the car bouncing of the limiter
the only way to drive them is drive it like you are trying to blow it up.. and they love it
I WANT ONE AGAIN..........

well my list is easy,
1976 Saab 96
thats it. Have had it nearly two years now and still haven't got it MOT'd! i guess being at uni away from it for 2/3 of the year
doesn't help and working full time when i am there makes it harder too! have made fair bit of progress now tho!
My dads list would be alot more interesting, we counted once and stopped when we got past 50. he used to buy them just before they needed scrapping.
has had triumph hearlds saloon, estate and van versions!
countless minis
vitesses
2X fiat 500's
a morris minor as his first car
an midget
and an MGB
i can't remember any other interesting ones!
a rover 214sei is an amazing car, my housemate has one right outside now and its acceleration and power is very impressive for a 1.4 engine. have been
in it doing a 125mph!
