Finally got rid of most of my cars as I'm buying a house with no space to keep them :o:
At the moment just the E30 and this:

Which originally looked more like this:

This and the silver discovery were my all time favourite cars but have gone for the house fund...

doff my hat to you Mr Ratch this is actually a nice thread.

My little run about is a Ford Puma 1.7 Zetec. Previous owner had put heaps of Halords tat on it and they car was drving awfull. Now got Ford F1 Wheels on and fixed the induction. It also has black viper stripes down the middle which actually look funky over chavey.

Mums got a KA which is like a little gokart.

Dad's got an E-Class with the 3litr V6.

Those are the cars i have access to in the family.

I have to say, I am very impressed. This is a forum full of genuine car fanatics. Not too much chav crap and some real surprises - Lexus Soarer, Maserati GT (though I prefer the BiTurbo that never works!) and some oldskoolcool.
The Mrs' cars could be a thread of it's own!

One of the mods on here has an Audi RS2 Avant in lego blue - that was rad as well.

And what does the sage, Brianmooore drive when not in an E30 - my guess is the DeLorean from Back to the Future complete with Flux Capacitor - but modded.

I sense there is more serious metal lurking out there - come on the rest of you, lay it down!

Nope, me too. Garage full of expensive bicycles and bits, though, so I know where all the money went other than petrol...

Was actually a very solid little car, which i made a nice profit
on after owning it for a while. Also made in West Germany, so i was kind of on the right track.

My daily is a mini mayfair, I dont drive along in it but bounce along- all of you that have been in a mini know what Im on about

the motorsport convertible is driven whenever its dry and theres an occassion

I long for a car with comfy suspension, as all of my cars that I have on the road have a firm, hard ride

This is what I drive pretty much every day, it's kinda fun.


Image


Image


Here's my E30, I've not seen it in a while but that is soon to change!


Image


Here's my 2002 automatic - It doesn't get out a lot!


Image


Image


Image



Finally, this is my late Father's 320i with 58k which is now back in my ownership, Chris Warburton is currently selling it for me.


Image


Image


Image

It's rather tidy!


This is what I use when things get a little wet around here - it's a bodylifted L200 with a four ton winch, snorkel and pretty big tyres!

Sorry, got a bit carried away!

The troubling thing is that I have more cars than that too but I was struggling to remember them! I haven't seen some of them for twelve months :D

Delta Integrale - nice. I used to work with an ex Lancia works mechanic who used to run one of these and he absolutely worshipped the ground it drove on. They look like nothing else on earth. A real shame Lancia went to the wall.
