VW T3 LPG powered campervan...my second home, probably be my main home if I carry on paying more attention to CloD than the good lady. Also have a 1971 850 Mini and a 91 Mazda MX5, so yep, I like old motors too!

Daily driver is a 2003 Honda Civic SI Hatch, made by Honda UK.
My oldest baby is a 1960 Triumph TR3, equipped with a pair of 40 DCOE Weber carbs, tuned headers, mildly ported head, 2.2 litre pistons, 15X6 Revolution wheels, and overdrive. For less than four wheeled transport I have a 2003 Triumph Bonneville. Yup, I'm a Yank that loves his British vehicles.

Nice alloys there Dutch and Green too (with Tan interior?). I so wanted that combination! Only trouble with owning an MX5 is everyone calls me a 'ladies hairdresser'......  Nice choice Elaurens, a TR3!

It also has strut braces, cold air induction, a cat bypass pipe (except when it's MOT time!!) and a stainless sports exhaust. My elbows still hurt from winding the springs down when I replaced the suspension last year aswell.  I also replaced the hood with a acrylic 'mohair' hood with heated screen.All in all It costs me almost as much as a new car to keep it in fine fettle, but I'll never sell it. And anyone who calls these cars 'hairdressers cars' has never thrown one down a nice country A-Road with the a*se end sliding out of the bends! Oh and i have a tin box made by Ford for the rest of the week.

Hey I like lots of Fords and GMs it's just that I'm a Mopar fanatic
 One nasty thing I will say about Mopars. Some of them have got to have the Butt Ugliest interiors ever thought off. I've seen bright red stripes light, blue plaids etc... just the ugliest stuff you could imagine. Have you ever seen the inside of a Hang 10 Dart Sport...Please don't! I don't know what they were smoking over at Chrysler in the 70s in the interior department but it must have been some heavy sh#t. GMs and Fords have always had nice interiors. I really like 66 67 Fairlanes 66 67 Chevelles 66 to 72 Novas. Not a big Comaro fan. Would much rather have a Nova. Much more of a street machine racer. Not a Mustang fan at all. Very nice looking but they are way over exposed and made into this ultimate super car image and they are not by any means. I'm taking the older Mustangs. They should have had Steve Mc Queen driving a Hemi Super Bee LOLOL.

My brother in law is involved with a car club that does time trials around a short course,rally stile. A couple of years ago he got himself one of the new generation Subaru STI something something from the factory in Japan(I think his was one of the first in OZ) It had all the go fast rally gear on it. Cost him an arm and a leg but he's very competitive(my wife said never play ATARI with him). Any how it turns out the fastest car around the circuit is ,you guest it a 20 something year old MX5 with a turbo and some suspension work(the car cost less than a new small car). I had to laugh when he told me.
