Quiz - what's on my drive this afternoon?

[Six-cylinder]

This photo was taken this afternoon, there are 8 cars on my drive (one very hard to see, that will sort the men from the boys) and the boat. Who can name all 8 cars and for a bonus the make and model of the boat?

 

All just for fun and I am sorry if picturing my cars together looks a bit show off but I thought they looked so good I wanted to share.

 

[Minimad5]

Shitting hell man, fancy swapping jobs ?

[Six-cylinder]

Triumph 2500TC, Volvo 850/V70, MGB GT, Cadillac Eldorado, Audi convertible, Alfa Spider and a BMW E3.

 

 6 out of 8, no Alfa here.

[Six-cylinder]

Is that hard to see one an Mx5 or a Citroen DS?

 

No DS or MX5 on the drive, I think knowing my collection is cheating!

[Six-cylinder]

Is the white convertible a Peugeot 404?

 

No I don't have a 404 convertible.

[Richard]

It's a Triumph Herald/Vitesse isn't it?

[Six-cylinder]

It's a Triumph Herald/Vitesse isn't it?

 

Yes Vitesse, 2LTR MK2 I have had for nearly 10 years.

 

This if going fast I thought the BMW E3 and Cadillac would take a bit longer to solve. Just one left behind the Volvo?

green convertible Vauxhall astra ?

green convertible Vauxhall astra ?

 

Sorry Isuzu Florian got this one, it's my 1995 Audi 2.6 V6 manual Cabriolet. 

[Six-cylinder]

The e32 or e28?

 

Good game remembering everything I have talked about, but no I have sold my E28 and the E32 was out of shot.

[Six-cylinder]

Could it be the son's E36 or the wife's e46?

 

And is the boat a Caraboat?

 

My son has his E36 but I have two, one put away in a barn for the winter and I have a E36 328i sport coupe but that is at a garage waiting for an engine as it has blown a head gasket. My wife's E46 was out of shot.

 

Good guess for the boat as there are not many trail boats to choose from but not the right one.

[DSdriver]

Short wheelbase narrowboat?

Short wheelbase narrowboat?

 

Short and stunted it maybe but that's not its name!

[HillmanImp]

Its an Aldi 80 convertible.

 

*EDIT* Shit, see hes already said that. Bumhats.

[Six-cylinder]

Still one to go?

[holbeck]

It's an Otter?

[Six-cylinder]

It's an Otter?

 

Wish it was, they are the expensive aluminium ones, No this one is fibre glass.

[Six-cylinder]

OK a clue for the last car an underside picture, I took the picture a month ago so now there are bits of two other cars to identify?

 

[HillmanImp]

Is it a Citroen GS?

[Six-cylinder]

Is it a Citroen GS?

 

Yes the 8th car on the drive yesterday was a 1978 Citroen G special fitted with a 1299cc engine and 5 speed gearbox. Unfortunately the bodywork is very poor but it drives well and is MOTed.

 

[KruJoe]

Like the rainbow door bottoms!

 

PS - MX5...

[Mr Livered]

What happened to the Mercedes 200T?

[Skizzer]

The bodywork may be poor but the paintjob is flippin excellent.

 

Great collection you've got, and a good competition - I'd never have got the Caddy or the E3 if I hadn't known about them already. 

[DVee8]

Can we have more photos of the collection.

[Six-cylinder]

What happened to the Mercedes 200T?

 

Well it's clocked up over 6,000 miles since since the last service I did, so as it has a full service history how could I do anything other than have another service done. While being serviced they found a leaking pipe for the self levelling rear suspension. Anyway all done, I have had the call to say the car is ready to collect and my friend is taking me there this afternoon. 

[Six-cylinder]

Can we have more photos of the collection.

 

This is some of our project cars.

 

[Six-cylinder]

Like the rainbow door bottoms!

 

PS - MX5...

 

Not me, I owned the car in 2007 and it was not like this but when I bought it back a year ago this is what it looked like. It needs a lot of bodywork and I am not sure how to deal with this.

 

Yes the MX5 was parked next to it when I photographed the underside to show off the new exhaust box.

If you'd shot the GS from a slight.y lower angle to hide the wheelie bins that could be a 1982 photo!

The boat was not made until 1989!
