I got rid of my van and got a Ford Ranger Limited as Ive scaled my business down, Mrs has got a Renault Grand Scenic.
 
Just got another audi a5 sportback 3.0 tdi s line. Mrs choice, nice car though. Funny thing is I drive a manky old toyota for work while she swans around in the car! Something's not right.
 
Mrs has a mk5 golf gti we both use and I've got a mk2 golf gti16v as a toy both in tornado red lol although the mk5 is going to be replaced at the end of nov by a mk7gti in tornado red lol

blimey, now that is a lot of cars! I like the sky line. Especially the one they do now. 70k and it rips the pants of most super cars


congrats on the new job steve. I hope it all works out well for you. feel sorry for your transit. sat on the drive alone
 
The Anglia with a race lump must of been fun. I can't see a land rover on there though! I had an r32gtr skyline running a proven 400hp, great car but a right wallet muncher.
My dad had two j4,s, what heaps!

man I bet that was awesome to drive.

I used to take it on track days, I uprated the brakes. It had a really aggressive lsd, aftermarket suspension and road legal cut slick tyres. Yes it was the best car I have ever owned. Not a lot came past me. So much fun overtaking m3,s and Porsches.
 
if my salary ends up being what most people have been fooled into believing what plumbers get a yr, I shall buy myself one:)

Tsg ? Steve
 
I drive a transit to work and also to asda....

Sadly my work vehicle is also my private vehicle.

I have a mondeo on the drive which needs a clutch and mass flywheel.
 
Apart from my 2003 Citroen Relay MWB for work, I have a 2002 Audi S8 4.2 V8 Quattro. In Racing Green, just like Ronin. Beast of a car. Im only 25 too. Odd choice of vehicle

Not at all, v8 goodness.
 
Had a 1.9JTD Fiat Grande Punto Sporting before it. Bigger injectors, full exhaust, and air intake, remapped to 210bhp and 340ft/lbs of torque. It was a flying machine. Completely standard on the outside, was a lovelly car!

I did consider a newer A8 4.2 V8 TDi. But as a 2nd car I couldnt justify the outlay. I always did like Ronin too :lol:
