What Other 'interesting' Vehicles Do You Own..?

[Goliath 94]

Had a bit of a change around since last year, the Austin 7 and the 304 have gone, the SL55 should be going next week.

 

Now have a 1978 Spitfire:

 

a 1981 Rolls:

 

and a 50k miles 106 GTI:

 

We still have various other cars including the 205 V6

A pair of R53's, with one being a late JCW. Similar looking but quite different to drive. Great little cars.

Nice minis I always pondered over the GP

[iPlod999 143 1 Cars]

Purchased Growler in January.

 

 

M135i 3 litre straight 6 twin turbo.

 

Absolute stuff off a shovel!

I think my photo has slowed the thread right down.

 

Mods feel free to delete. ????

2013. Mercedes E Class coupe

 

1990 Peugeot 205 gti 1.9

 

2013 Peugeot 208 Hdi (The wife's)

 

Single seater racing car (Hill climb & Sprints)

I still have the Z3m coupe which has probably gone up nearly 10k more in value since my last post.

 

Got stupid and decided that an e66 760Li would make a good way to transport my new born first child. Relaxed it is, but it is a pain in the arse to park as it's so big, and 16mpg... But for 5 grand will it lose any value, probably not. The drama will be the amount of ££££'s it burns through keeping it on the road and fed of fuel.

It's a single turbo... Much more reliable than the old twin set up though

[iPlod999 143 1 Cars]

Whoops.

 

Better stop saying that then!

 

Cheers.

[Gaz205 50]

I had the 335 twin - if my life allowed me to have that kind of engine again in my life I would grab it with both hands!

Enjoy it! And consider DMS for a 'tickle' they are pricey but the best imo

[iPlod999 143 1 Cars]

The car is plenty fast already up to 70 mph!

[ATK 137 1 Cars]

Daily is a B7 Audi RS4. Much much different to the 205 hah hah!

[johniban 59 1 Cars]

Bumping this up for the newbies, plus just bought our Smart Roadster back off the ex-wife.

 

Surprisingly reliable over the 6+ years we owned it, it recently developed a cutting-out issue so she lost confidence in it and bought a Cooper S instead. So, this will be broken for spares, unfortunately. Shame, as it was a real hoot to drive with a 119bhp map and six-speed flappy paddles, and was packed with options.

 

 

 

 

 

The Earth strap in the rear is common to cause running problems when they corrode or break, worth a check

What's going on with the back ride height of the 205? front looks high too?

[johniban 59 1 Cars]

Oh yeah thats interesting

Thanks for the tip but it was stripped shortly after. In fact, I'm getting another one delivered today to do exactly the same!

Uneven drive.

 

 

Had new rear beam fitted and went for 'standard' ride height.

 

Hopefully, it's fine.

I have a fiat coupe 20v turbo that I've restored over the last year since I bought it. Prior to that it hadn't moved for 8 years.

I really like the design, although some don't, and it's pretty quick too for a 20 year old car. You very rarely see them on the road these days.

[Robin205 7]

I have an 2004 Honda S2000 which sits next to the 205 in my garage under a car cover, rarely get chance to use it, only done 300 miles since October last year.

 

Also have an E90 330i which is my daily.........

[MadeinWigan 0]

I like the Fiat Coupe 20vt, they make a lovely noise.

 

I have 2x 205 diesels, a 205 Gtx, Ford Puma, Ford Focus and an old BMW 540 touring.

[changingman 7 1 Cars]

Three of my four .

 

Interesting enough? ?

 

Hahaha!!!

I also have a Volvo TGB1314 converted into a camper. It's a 6x6 with lockers and portal axles.

 

Then there is a Volvo 242 that is in the process of receiving a turbocharged 1UZ Toyota V8 engine mated to a BMW 330d 6spd gearbox.

 

Finally a VW Golf 2 Cross Country 4x4 in green with a 1.8-16 KR engine.

 

My daily driver is 308 SW GT, 181bhp with 400Nm torque.

I drive a few 308 tourers at work now and are surprisingly planted. Could do with more shove (these are 1600's I think) but can carry some cornering speed

[Robin205 7]

400Nm?! That's a fair chunk of torque for a relatively small car! Like it.
