Show Us Your Motors!

Someone said I should post up some "proper" pictures of Shed V2.0 so here are a couple:

Can't wait to get some more subtle rear arches (like these) and some less dished wheels. Already had some positive replies to my wheel swap post on MX5Nutz. :)

Probably going to remove and sell the front and rear Mazdaspeed splitters, and the side skirts as well. I don't mind the look, but I think I'd prefer it without.
Some nice bits on there ripe for ripping off if you go that way.

Great fun the MX5s. I had seven Mk1's in total, including a turbo one running around 190 bhp.
 
I love it. The manual is class lol

For transporting it must be great, easy access and plenty of room. Is it economical?

Seems pretty good given the small engine and low top speed. Although it is thrashing itself over 50 mph, so sticking to less than that would probably see a better MPG figure.

No idea what it actually does, though. I probably won't ever know as I never check on anything!
 
After 6 years of solid faithful service, the trusty Mk4 GTI is going into retirement

It's being replaced with something a bit bigger, a bit quicker and a bit louder.

Here's my new car!

CLK 320! It's only done 56,000 miles and like brand new(well, almost), Prior to me one owner form new and he looked after it like a baby.

He had a load of extra options fitted too:

BOSE upgraded sound system, Sports Suspension, AMG Bodykit (very discrete!) and 2 tone leather. It's such a blimmin lovely car

Rear arches were sorted a few years ago so they won't rot away.

Performance wise pretty well. 300 odd bhp, rides nicely, steers very well. It's a generation behind though obviously, so it does lack quite badly in terms of infotainment etc. There's no start stop. None of these points bothered me as I prefer it looks wise.

There's a bloke who I work with who is going for a slower prefacelift F20 over the coupe because he thinks it looks better :eek:

Love the coupe.
 
Each to their own. I just can't warm to the F20. There's so many on the roads they don't look particularly different even in M135 guise. More practical than an E82 and more up to date. But the E82 is better looking to me and that was one of my main reasons for buying it. Very rare to see an E82 around here.
 
Thanks guys. She is monster to drive. I am a tad scared tbh

Just for lolz... this 707 BHP has an eco mode ;) I managed to get 23 mpg driving from Atlanta to Dallas the other weekend (relocated)
