Well due to the demise of my other car when it became a bit of a tree hugger ahem!
I was instructed by my wife to get something sensible, so I duely went out and bought myself a Honda Accord, a car with a very predominantly 'older' more sensible safe reputation! Ok I may have bought a model with red badges and some Type R stickers on it but its not a racing car dear honest
She didn't fall for it, the pram handle rear spoiler and screaming 7,500rpm VTEC red line had me bang to rights, however I had already bought it so......
.............. I had to replace her car too to keep the peice
She wanted an estate for our dog and i didn't want some slugish wardrobe on wheels. So I found a Subaru Legacy GT (same engine as in the Impreza WRX just with 2 turbos not 1) for her, muchos fun to drive the 280BHP 'sleeper' wardrobe on wheels!

Oh dear....
Volvo V40 2.0 SE Estate in silver. My Wife uses this one as it has all the toys and is good for ferrying kids arround.
Rover 620i in red metallic and bird crap. Our old family car now running me to and from the railway station every day.
Not quite as much fun as a 260 are they?!

A white Toyota Celica 1974, not the one you see below as mine is much tattier and is waiting for some TLC......but it is taxed and tested.
Sorry I can't give credit to who's car this is (someone is Australia), but I'd like to think mine will look as good as this in a few years time (I'll start it once the Z is finished).
I plan to fit a 4AGZE engine which comes from a Mk1 MR2. It's a supercharged 1600cc 16v which should give about 160 ish BHP. In a car that weighs 950kg, this should be enough to go baiting the local hot hatch brigade (I'll save the Z for bigger fish). Hybrid Celica then.........well, not quite as I don't actually own the engine yet. However, I do own the rwd gearbox, steering rack, front suspension and brakes for the project (all from Corolla GT).
Still a bit of a dream, but I will get there in the end.

2.5 Omega, low mileage, superb at killing miles and collecting Zs on trailers (pic in gallery). I have a 600 Bandit (currently off road because I'm poor) and a Suzuki SJ413 4x4 thing which one day will be finished ready for trialing
Currently trying to get another project Z though lol.
