The cars...

My 1st car, an old W-Reg ex coal Mini van (850cc) Mini bought for £250

Somehow ended up looking like this after a fight with a bridge

Bought another van from Colin for a pint for its 1 litre engine !

Austin Maxi - 1.7 cost £20 and converted into a double bed

1st Cavalier, cost £300 and was a rusting piece of shite

Somehow ended up looking rather sorry for itself in a quarry

Quite a fitting end really.

MK1 Astra, cost £75 and required a few bits to get it going (windows/wheels/engine)

1st company van of many

405 Diesel 1.9 ex taxi - great mpg but drunk a bit of oil ! (cost a wopping £1900)

R-Reg classic Rover 3500 SD1, fantastic for burnouts (only cost £300)

Cavalier SRi 1.8, bought for £175 but sounded rather lumpy

Ahhh thats because one piston was in the sump !!

Another Cavalier, this time a 1.6 and £595 which was a bargain

Manta GTE 2.0 a priceless classic (well almost priceless at £210)

Pug 405 Mi16 with 160bhp, excellent road handling for £2900

Yet another cavalier, bought & sold on the same day (tidy profit!)

Impreza WRX import, 240bhp and getting expensive at £14K

Unfortunately another accident victim

Impreza STi TypeR V-Limited 300bhp and worth every penny of £17K

really nice Kielder photos

Holden Monaro 410bhp of rear wheel drive aussie power but had to go when baby came

The baby friendly Monaro replacement - the danbulance, a white Ford Focus

And the latest addition a MK2 Golf, track/sprint car or do up & sell ?
