Our Cars

ah, i understand

so was it that they wern't in alignment? i seem to recall there being something you were going to do with them

FYI: gutted to hear about the ankle, if ur needing a lift anywhere feel free to ask. The Sag is tucked away for the winter so i won't be driving it around, making you feel worse :P

[Hollowpockets]

yeah they aren't aligned properly, not had a chance to do it yet but hopefully before summer... lol

yeah never mind getting to the toilet, the worst thing about having a broken ankle is not being able to drive! Saggy has now sat in the garage for nearly 4 weeks, the noble is ready to be collected and it will need to wait another 4 weeks till I've got my cast off and able to fly down! I'm sure there will be 6 inches of snow by then too, not good!

my bro has been taking me to work but otherwise not been moving, spent 30 hours lying in bed this weekend... the boredom is killing me.

hmmm... how about a film night this week/weekend?

i'll get a few people organised at mine, plenty of films to choose from. could play racing games, or poker then round the night off by drawing a p*nis on your cast

[Hollowpockets]

yeah sure thing, although my cast has material on the outside too so no doodling I'm afraid.

A few photos of my car from this year, my favorites at least. Not to everyone's taste I know but it's the car I'm most passionate about and one of only a handful that remain anymore in the UK. I had a couple of opportunities to change to a more modern car with more performance and many other bells and whistles but in the end I stuck with the one I love (don't ask me to explain such insanity....I can't) much to my partners annoyance :O

Cheers

A thing of beauty

Thank you buddy, I appreciate that

Hi chaps, Just signed up to PistonHeads. Here is a few pics of my Ultima GTR I picked up a few weeks ago. Its a 6.3 V8 putting out 512hp & 485lbft. Looking forward to coming along to some meets/runs in the coming future.

[Andrew[MG]]

Very nice!!

[Shenanigans]

Stunning

[Ian974]

Yep, that'd be the one I saw on sunday!

[RossD860]

I was on my way to Union Square. What an experience trying to reach the ticket machine. Door up, pretty much had to step out the car to put my ticket in and then jump back in and go before the barrier went down again. Only point against it in my opinion.

One day were going to have to show the boy racers a thing or two and get all the nice cars of Aberdeen out at the same time! Ulitma looks gorgeous, really have a thing for them!

[RossD860]

Thanks guys. Don't know why it only put up one pic but if you click on it there are a few more on another page.
Here is another

I'm not sure how tall an ultima is, but I can juuust drive the Elise under the barriers at union square

[Djdan]

Am pretty sure if i clicked the coilovers down on the Tuscan it would go under too. Can imadgine the comments !look at that cheapo with the nice car avoiding a £2 parking ticket!"

[MGZRod]

I always wanted to try it in the MX5 but never had a chance as i'd just wap the soft top down and go through.

Doubt the 200 would fit under

I just had a look and the Elise is 1117mm in height and the Ultima is 1070mm but to be honest i never noticed the height of the barrier. Maybe worth a try next time haha. Who cares what anybody else thinks, if they could do it im sure they would

My little mini tonka toy for winter since the ute was becoming dangerous in this weather.

Some really really nice cars on here! (And a few I recognise)
I don't change cars very often, I'm a really fussy bugger like that.


328 that I took delivery of in September, was an eBay gamble that proved to be a total bargain when it arrived at my house from Coventry.


Trusty daily runner (currenly on scabby winter wheels) needs a trip to the bodyshop in the spring for a couple of minor scabby bits that have just appeared.
Did plan to get rid of it (maybe for an Alpina D3), but there is nothing of equivalent/similar value that I like or would be in the same performance bracket, it's also wiorth bugger all so depreciation is not an issue, thats how I usually buy a car, too bloody tight to take a hit on it!



Impulse buy that I ended up passing on to the Mrs for a daily runner, nothing overly fancy but it's reliable. Will be even nicer when Autospray give it back to me.... (Wife hit a deer in it two weks ago.)



Old faithful, not really sure what to say about this one, love it and hate it. Now has a straight cut box which helps immensely, the standard transmissions are totally $hite, they don't deal with power/torque hikes very well, after about 5 gearboxes it was time to buy a proper one.



Don't plan to buy anything else for a while, if anything goes it will probably be the M5 due to mileage and age related running costs, thats IF I can bare to part with it.

Hello Rog I never realised that you still had VIW. It's good to see she is still going strong. It appears you have the same love/hate relationship I do.

Both of your cars would make my top ten easy really like the Cavalier and the Sierra
