When its nice and just around town its this.
When its nice and a bit further afield its this.
And most of the time its this.
My daily driver is this :-)
Added a few over the winter.
Jeep Cherokee great for the snow and trip out to France.
Daihatsu Fourtrak for more dirty 4x4 fun.
I don't own this any longer but since a few trucks have been posted....My old daily driver, GMC Stepside.
Got this at the start of the year and very happy with the car,
2,2 diesel gives around 35 mpg daily and 50+ on a motorway run,plenty of toys including a decent sound system having usb port and has enough power for an old man who battles speed cameras on a daily basis.
I FEEL LIKE I'M DIAGONALLY PARKED IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE
Is that first picture in Switzerland per chance?
Sorry. See next post !

Yes, thanks for the comment. Midnight purple is my favourite colour. I've had two GTR in that colour since 1997.
Its a little harsh for a road car, but bearable in summer...perversely, I had 12 days at the Nordschliefe last yr, but the wettest number of summer laps I can remember in 10 yrs, but I enjoyed the car lots having forgot how much fun
it can be in sustained wet weather use However , getting old girl clean again took a day or so !
I use an M5 in winter....more flexible and he ride doesn't induce a piss break once an hr !
Cheers

I can relate to that. My weekend toy is a fairly full on Subaru complete with rock solid chassis, straight through exhaust and a straight cut gearbox.
I have developed a rudimentary sign language to communicate with any passengers foolish enough to get in it. It mainly consists of pointing at my ears, shaking my head and mouthing "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!".
The new Cayman S, although unfortunately only for 30 minutes. A very impressive motor, almost tempted to call it a bargain.
This when i'm home....
Hey Steve F I would be interested in the stats for your Overfinch Rangerover. How does it compare to the V8 ?
I bought my second car yesterday! Been saving my pennies for a long time for it and am over the moon at the moment!
It's a 56 plate BMW 320i M-sport with lots of toys.
Being 22 and having driven a MG ZR for the last 4 years, it's a huge step up. Loving it!
Here's the old Z, which I will miss dearly. Nothing could have been more fun for what I payed for it 4 years ago.
And here's the new BM.
Thanks for the kind remarks re my R33 John.
Yours isn't too shabby either...! A special car mate.
I like the R34 GTR....its a better stiffer chassis out of the box than my old girl.
But, I like the look if my R33 though and its quite a trick spec and totally reliable !
Cheers

If you insist.........
The business end
Clean for a change
The end others see when I use it
I don't have any videos of it really although I did see these (rubbish) clips of it on youtube

Some nice Japanese cars here ..
I'll post a pair of the Japanese cars I had in the UK. Really miss them (sold everything car related when I moved to Aus).
Thanks,
Trying to think now, but yes on both counts for the location I think.
MR2 was about 2004 (and 300bhp)
S2000 was 2007 (and 375bhp)
I'm more recently into off-roading hence the Hilux, but am looking for something fruity for the weekends.
It is like going cold turkey though, I've been (heavily) modded car free for 3 years now.
Hi John
keep the Fiesta as the track car. R34 GTR is going to get quite rare and not really an expendable item.
My car is clocking some big numbers at the Nordschleife in places....if it were to come off, it ain't ggoing to polish out ! I've seen enough GTR popped and splatted there..
The pic is a live link. The old girl made 462 @ the wheels so a reasonable mid 550.
i punt it around mostly @ 1 bar which is fine for the road.
i did all the work on the cars including the engine rebuild on this one so I have a lot of emotional investment in the car now....not ideal for a track tool.
Darren
Nice car.
That looks mean.
really love the 2 door Scoobies.
Thanks for the pics.
Here's a link to a rather damp lap of the NS I did last yr to test some recording equipment.
It was...very slippery with cold tyres but it gives you an idea....

Okay. Slightly off topic but these are some of the cars I used to drive:
That's my Dad in the Rancho before you wonder !
Technically this is mine, though up for sale on commission at at Cameron sports cars......
http://www.cameronsportscars.co.uk/i...?back=%2Fstock
if anyones looking, you won't find a better one! it was just under 76k new ,so grab a great car for a 50k discount for 12k miles?
215 road tax
40mpg
and more torque than a 911 turbo-the 3 guys I know who have them have all had 911's,which is curious...
seriously nippy "real world"car- I dont think I can remember driving any other car that could,say,average 69mph without going over 70- if you get my meaning!

A Lexus RX400h (hybrid). It has 269bhp, 3.3ltr petrol engine, 0-60 in 7.2 and gives around 32mpg. Not bad for almost 2ton of car.
My road bike is a 1999 Aprillia RSV1000 Mille that I have had since 2001.
And my track bike is a 2000 Suzuki GSXR600.
Picked this up today...
118d Sport.
Very pleased so far...
I'm using photobucket for the first time so I hope this works..
Here is what I drive occasionally at weekends when the grass needs cutting
and here is my week day motor which is a Porsche in sheep's clothing
Richard.
3 Series BMW for work purposes and pleasure.
For the rounds and doing the garden and stuff, I have a Renault Kangoo Van
