Your car history

Previously owned:
1981 Ford fiesta 950cc (fully rebuilt engine, gearbox, suspension, brakes, rebuild 'may' not have been stock, rusted away and rebuilt parts put in non-rusty fiesta body for my sister)
1992 Rover 214SE (high lift cam and throttlebodies, more interesting than it sounded, completely knackered by the time I had taken it to 150k from 70k in 2.5 years)
1998 Honda Civic 1.8 VTi (MB6, engine stock, adjustable suspension for fun and giggles, traded in after taking to 140k from 65k in 4 years)
1992 Hyundai X2 GSI (town runabout alongside the VTi and S3, owned from new by my grandparents, stolen from outside our house and written off)
2007 Audi S3 (remained stock, 24k miles in 2.5 years)

Currently owned:
2008 VW Passat R36 (bought this month)
2007 Nissan Micra 1.2 (Town runabout, don't think it has been further than Saltash)
1967 SIIa SWB Landrover (AKA Stumpy, still in pieces)

Think that sums it up :)

What you doing to the landrover dolph?

Full ground up rebuild, predominately to original spec with some minor modernisation/future proofing, although it has been going on for a few years now (the problem is the car is in my Parents garage in Ipswich, and I'm in Plymouth with no garage). It will live again one day :)
