Thought I'd post up some pics of my current fleet!
Here's my most recent purchase, which I hope to keep for a long time:
And my daily, a beauty of a small bumper mk2 Golf GTI 8v (I've owned many mk2's and this is by far the best I've had...)
And last but by no means least, the little hooligan! A mk1 Eunos Roadster VR-Ltd, which I've transformed from a bog standard car to the great fun track car it is now. It's currently off the road awaiting me to get round to building it a proper engine (all the bits have been bought for a nice revvy nasp build) and replace all the bushes. It's killing me it being off the road!

Does that have the BBR kit on it?! It looks really good. Enjoy! 
No, it's standard. I had the idea to paint the lower half of the rear bumper before I saw the BBR GTi tuned car. They've effectively done the same as I have here. It's strange really, Mazda had the lower half already painted on the mk 1 MPS, but the mk 2 was colour coded until last year (now comes as standard like mine). I thought the rear end just had too much white and needed breaking up a bit.
The BBR GTi tuned car also has the outer and inner rear spoiler and the bonnet scoop painted.
Thanks for the comments though, I like the car, even more so since I had these bits painted.

Ok so my photography skills wont match that of the previous post but hope you like the car. It has had some tasteful improvements under the skin and is now more than willing to keep up with modern craft!
And here is one with Compagnolo wheels and a moody atmosphere
That is gorgeous. How do they drive? Can you use them as a daily if necessary?

Thank you. I have driven it to work on a few occasions and it drives a treat and is happy to cruise at 70mph on the motorways and is really easy to drive.Fuel consumption isnt great at about 20-25mpg but this is probably down to the Cam profiles and webbers, guess a standard one would do 25mpg -30mpg.

Paul that is an absolute beauty!!!! Clearly I haven't been to a meet in too long; work kept me away tonight sorry. So how long have you had it? Will you be bringing it to MBC on the 26th?

Hi Rich,R
Slight adaptation of the truth as my old man purchased it a couple on months back,so it isn't mine but I am insured on it and love it so much that if he sells it I will buy it so I guess it is mine to be
Its got a cracking list of mods but one thing that may surprise most is the spec from the factory. 2L Twin Cam engine, Limited Slip Diff, 5 Speed gearbox, Twin Line servo brakes, Disc brakes all around. Not much to get excited about by todays standards but in 1973 this was high tech and all from a company renowned for being sh*t!
Should be at MBC and it was at the last meet, see photo below:
