    The Mono is the only car which would prise me out of the Cat. Epic.

    I made the transition from TVR to Maserati as well, I'm sure you'll miss the Tuscan and enjoy the Quattroporte. At least tell us the colour

    The T4 has been fully restored, lots of welding was done.



    Still driving the E92 330i but may sell it soon.



    Sold the T4 camper and bought this to convert into a new camper, still got the others.

    Austop for my roof
    Lakeland windows for the windows
    Evodesign for my units
    The bed from a local comany
    D&G upholstery for the seats and bed

    The rest of the work will be done by me and stuff like the fridge and fiamma will be bought from whoever does the best price at the time. I'll check them out though.

    I have a 'man cave' away from home that most of them are kept in & have a photographer coming to do some group shots soon as I have no skills in that area

    Will post some shots when they're done in case any one is interested

    The big plus for me was the Q7's engine and mine is only the 218ps. It still pulls like a train and is good for 40+mpg on a run.

    It is the most comfortable, quietest and smooth motor I have even driven and tech is amazing. The interior feel and quality is streets ahead of the RR as is the tech and the horizontal lines to the dash really makes the lump feel saloon like, it does not pretend to be a big SUV/RR.

    Only down side is it is not most attractive thing to look at but you don't have to look at it when driving around.

    Pitch

    Bought a Marcos GTS turbo straight from the Marcos stand at London Motor Show in 1997. Met Jem Marsh, founder of Marcos, that day. Kept it for ten years, then bought a new AM Vantage Roadster in 2007. Kept that until a month ago, when I at last bought a Lambo, which I've wanted since I was 7 and saw one in a film on tv. Loving it. All three cars shown in the photos below.

    Just replaced my 1.8 SLK Mercedes, with the 3.5 V6 SLK. Will pick it up on Thursday and have a few hours journey home on some of the best driving roads in the UK. Must remember to pack my scissors, combs, brushes, hairdyer etc (just get that in before anyone else feels the need.).

    Wouldn't it be easier to simply transfer them from one to the other?

    Sorry couldn't resist! ;-), Enjoy!

    1989 VW Golf 1.6

    My wife answered a facebook post saying one was going for free in Geneva due to the buyer being refused any form of trade in despite buying a new one at the Garage.

    I thought it was a joke, but 5 minutes later got a call from a lovely lady saying that it was mine to collect.

    Although it has become a "vomet comet" thanks to my 2 year old it really is a great car.

    When did the 911 get so fat? Looks only a bit smaller than my R35, and boy did she have a big backend!

    I guess the R35's was bigger......just!

    But seriously, do sporty cars (note, not sportscars) really need to be this lardy?

    Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".

    I was at the NEC Classic Car show and saw a few Tuscans, nice but did no elicit the ache that was fully expecting.

    I have rationalised it that if I have a nice car every 4 years I only have a max of 10 "punch card strikes" left, which isn't a lot seeing what is out there!

    It is wildly unsuitable for my life with young baby and would never be used. I get precious little time at the moment anyway, why would I want to force myself to choose between being with my wife and Child or in my "fancy" car.

    I live in SW London and its hours before anywhere intresting is, so maybe if I lived in the country I would have kept it, but even then a TVR Cerb, Maser 3200, cheap 911 would still have been better as it could have been pushed into short trips 3 up etc.

    I haven't got many pics as my Garage is tiny and I struggle to get it in so thats being extended. once that happens I will geta detailing world before and after style shoot up here!
