You've got a new car and you don't tell me!?! hurt! haha.

Looks good, happened with the ariel you were getting?
Sorry man, though was just thinking when I was looking at it under a street light last night how good it would be with your style of light painting photography... if you're game for some more pics.

The whole way through the summer I looked at Atom adverts and never found one the spec/price I wanted (well I did but it was sha**ed) upon further research) so started looking elsewhere for a new toy. Will give you the low down if you fancy doing pics sometime.

An excellent choice if I may say!

Here is mine. Picked it up on Saturday and so far I'm absolutely loving it. The colour has to be seen in the metal to be appreciated.

Clearly a man of taste ;-) Looks to be a simlar spec too but you've got the upgraded headlights and a couple of interior differences to mine. Happy motoring!

Pug 106 GTi (mine from 2000 - not modded since 2003 may I add in my defence)

I like that. Tastefully done (mostly).

I didn't get my first car until after I graduated from Uni (couldn't afford one as a student)
I would have loved a stty 1.1 S reg clio at 19!!

Just realised I haven't posted in here for a while so thought I'd let everyone know what I'm driving now that the little yellow ZR has gone to the scrapyard in the sky.

For the last few months I've had this, E36 328i with all the msport options, suspension etc. Bought for pennies and subsequently fell apart (rear subframe mounts tearing through the floor, diff cradle cracked.) Currently on my driveway awaiting breaking.


Then this week I picked up this, my first foray into the world of MX5 ownership, and I have loved every single second of it! If you see me out and about, give me a wave!

Such a shame to scrap it but if the wheels are geniune Alpinia ones, they will be worth something!

Is that a V50 PoleStar?

Don't think I have ever seen one in the flesh, it looks awesome. Especially the wheels!

V60 Polestar. Everyone seems to love both the colour and the wheels. Only got it for a week but first impressions are that I would like one of my own! Haven't tried a S4 or 335 x-Drive for comparison so will need to get that organised soon.

Bought back my dad's old Aston this year, a decade after it was sold following his death. Found it at Alexander's in Yorkshire smile done 800 miles in it the past 3 months, lovely and smooth on the road, still has a bit of pace, very comfortable and cool machine.

Thanks for the pic Pete.
