Mine at Ford Fair:

Well I've just joined, and as I always love these threads, I think I'll post up my own.
My first cars were a Jaguar XJ6 and a Mitsubishi Colt 1.8 GTi, but I don't have any pictures. Currently I've got:
Ford Explorer 4.0

Triumph Vitesse convertible 2.0 (currently under restoration, totally rebuilt engine and gearbox, full respray, etc etc, just needs to be put back together now ) Sorry for the terrible picture, will take better ones when it's actually out of the garage.

Nissan Micra Sport 1.6

Micra Sport?

INCOMING!!!!!!!!!!

The Explorer looks fun though.

Haha yeah I know, the words Micra and Sport don't usually go together It's got pretty good mid range power, but sounds like a food mixer on the motorway, so I take the explorer for any long journeys. I just got the micra for economy really, doesn't make a lot of sense taking a car that does 17 MPG down to the shops
The explorer is great fun, pretty good off road as well. IIRC it's got ~210BHP and does 0-60 in 9.something seconds. Handling isn't as bad as you'd think either.

It's had a full respray so you pile loads of stuff on top of it?!

That photo was before the respray . Anything I put on top of it now always has a mat/some card underneath it.

Oh right, the paint looks pretty good in that photo, that's why I thought you were a madman

haha yeah, the boot was a replacement part so looked pretty good pre-respray, but all around the edges of the panels, especially around the front area, there was quite a lot of rust and scratches, so I had it resprayed.

Some recent ones of my 182 having had some Eibach Sportline springs fitted today. A little drop to fill the arches nicely, and the handling is noticeably better

Sorry this is a bit picture heavy, I went a bit OTT!

Nom.

Those bumpers don't line up with the arch rim very well, is that normal?

Here is my '67 Triumph GT6 Mk 1. Had it about 2 months now. Still needs a bit doing to it (fixing the horn, putting in a radio and speaker). Other than that it runs perfectly

This is my first classic car so i didn't really know what to expect when driving it for the first time. Non servo assisted breaks take some getting used to but it is brilliant fun to drive. It is surprisingly nippy for a car of its age. Handling is good however due to the swing axle suspension on the rear it is very prone to lift off over-steer. I haven't experienced this yet and I don't really want to on the road . Anyway, here are some pics:

I like that a lot.

 

[woodpigeon4]

Was just thinking that

Yippee Kiyay



Got some spots around it that have been treated but need prep/fill/paint it's not bad overall though.
I'm thinking a nice Flame red spray job & an engine transplant should do me but all in good time.
