Well hey there Richard! Annie sends her cousins a big wave from sunny Cyprus!

I am now! There's no escape, my reach is as long as Blofeld's...

Bought this bad boy as seen on the ebay tat thread.

Needs some welding for MOT which is happening tomorrow. But aside from that is very straight car. FSH and very very quick.

 

Only downside is that at 3k revs in 5th the car is only doing 58mph. So 70 is loud!

 

Still for £199 with tax until dec not to be sniffed at..

Nice buy!, Also a bargain for the money!

 

I love cars with pop up headlights, I'm surprised the 323f didn't catch on more.

24,000 miles on the clock. only had it a few months, was trying to sell it again but since i changed the 20 year old tyres for new ones it drives so nice now i'm keeping it :D

i got the Integra to replace this Accord but it's been such a good car plus it's got electric everything, aircon and a really nice comfortable interior that i can't bear to part with it. plus it's worth buggerall anyway so there is no point selling it. only 42,000 miles on the clock. i got it with 28,000 and i'm the second owner. shame it's scabby really.

Here are the three listed in my signature...

As you can see the A40 is a project! She's going to be really sweet, very much the car my first one would have been in 1979 if I'd had the money and skills I have now.

My beloved HDPIC Galloper II had a heart-attack (dead engine :( ) in September, so I had to get another everyday-car. It had to be very reliable, not front-wheel-drive, japanese and cheap, so I bought me this 2000 Subaru Legacy:

I almost drove 4000km since I got it 2 month ago and I like it very much! It´s all I wanted. The mileage is a bit high, but it´s in great condition and it´s almost rustfree! :shock:

 

The Camry is tucked away until spring 2011, it looks like always so no new picture.

I forgot about this thread when I changed my signature, oops! I think most of us know the red Capri isn't a Granada anyway, simply refer to my avatar instead. :lol:

New here so I guess I should show my shite!

 

First my daily for the winter, a KIA Sephia GTX automatic. A real shite car, had a new gear box after 15000 km ! Doesn't seem to rust that much though.

My daily the last year or so, not using it this winter though. Had it stolen a couple of weeks before this picture was taken, hence the broken window.

The Audi 100 GL5E is MOTed but needs a new exhaust manifold gasket so it's beeing stored for the moment.

Bluebird is very rusty and awaiting restoration. Have been thinking of putting a 1975 180BSSS engine in it, but for the moment I haven't decided what to do with it

Datsun Bluebird ML 910 1980 by fruttan, on Flickr

 

And finally the latest addition to the fleet, a 1979 Datsun 160J. Still has it's original radio and spotless interior!

I've posted a picture of the Scirocco & the 944 on here somewhere, previously.

 

& I've just been sent this picture of my Volkswagen on the London to Brighton run earlier this year.

I've had it the best part of 15 years.

Scene tax was only payable on split screens back then.

 

If you look closely you can see the fair Mrs. barefoot.

Picked this up about a month ago for ~£375. Early 1989 300E with 200,000 miles. Still runs like crap but I'm progressively improving the situation by tossing bits at it, fiddling with various screws, and spraying lots of solvents. Tried to take one of the bald tires off last night but twisted the tire iron into a pretzel instead. One of the windows doesn't go down and at maximum setting the heater blows with about a bit less than the force of an average nostril breath. Exhaust seems both plugged and noisy at the same time, rust situation is surprisingly good for a 22 year old car, water pump sounds as if it's churning gravel, various other things not working as intended. Ah, but I'm having fun. :)

My father bought this and imported it from Germany:

A completely original 1987 Supra MkIII 3.0i-turbo Katarga with 58.000km on the clock, never seen winter, wonderful condition. Even the headgasket is the first one. :mrgreen:

^The Supra's lovely, Lukas; definitely not shite!

 

Here's our two - I'm not sure they're entirely shite, either, but the Mondeo's certainly borderline.

Actually, the Mondeo's borderline for going over the bridge. Half an exhaust, clutch, wheelbearings and a few other bits needed for its' MOT in a few weeks. On the other hand, it's nice and comfy, and there's no gaffa tape on either bumper! Offers may be entertained, if anyone fancies it.

Picked this up today. 1973 Audi 100 GL auto with 39,000 miles on the clock. One family owned from new until 2004, then left in a warehouse until now.

 

No welding needed!!

Well found sir! Looks like it should be scenic background on The Sweeney! :D

Not sure if this passes for shite per se but here are some pics taken a month ago:

I didn't attach the 'sport' badge to the bootlid, btw. It was already on there. :oops:

 

Haven't removed it as I might leave a gooey mess there in its place.

A gooey mess? Over an Almera? Proof, ladies and gents, that there IS hope for the rest of us yet... ! :lol:
