Show Us Your Motors!

[Ricochet J]

This is my motor:

Ford Focus 1.6 Petrol Ghia.

You can see in the third pic someone went into the corner of my bumper

Yeh I'm crap at taking pictures

I cant get over how clean that mini is.

Wish mine was

Wish mine was

Whats up with yours, is it ailing?

Took the BMW to the most Southerly point in the UK last weekend - if I'd driven it any further South, it would be very wet

 

[DM]

Very clean

Paint is in crap condition and it has had a very poor respray on one of the doors. :/

Get it painted if your keeping it, they are only going up in value surely.

Very clean

Been noseing around 2-3 year old E60's (not for me, dont worry!) at the local main dealer today and was amazed to find every one without exception in worse condition than my ancient old banger. Shocking really, not a single car without scratches, marks, scuffs..

Went across to the Isle of Man last week/weekend, EPIC roads! A must for any serious petrol head!

Pity on the second day my gear cable snapped
Managed to bodge it enough to get home and pax rides for the rest of the weekend, a few photos:

That's because you are one of those rare fastidious owners that got it up to scratch then kept on top of it.

That's why its never worth selling now. It probably drives better than some of those e60s too now you have refreshed everything on the suspension.

That's a Lotus for you. Can't take em anywhere!

Still a ride in a Audi 1.8T S1 Elise made up for it

Do you know a guy called Phil with an S1 Elise in silver? He has a Rover T16 Turbo engine in there.

Indeed, all the time you keep it it's worth far more to you than its market value. The moment you try and sell it, it's a 9-10 year old "big engined petrol" BMW, and priced accordingly.

The sweet shop that used to be on the main road was the best one I've ever been in. Changed into a computer game shop some years back.

My grandparents lived there, in the humongous house on Hatters Lane.


Sorry Motors, I don't have a car

That'll be Vayre [sp?] House then? Was sold last year or so I think.

Quite possibly the best car ever made - I love the E39. Probably get another one this year.

The problem with this theory is that one day I will simply fancy something different. That day is closer than ever

 

[allllec]

Extremely dull, but also a lot of barge for very little money. I give you the replacement for the golf. My W210 E200 Auto. Woo

Yes, so you keep that as well.

Good choice, that will go on for ever
