With my latest addition I now have 1010 bhp in my garage!!

1. Range Rover 4.4 (Useful for mud fights, industrial transport, kids, dogs, shopping etc)
2. TVR Tuscan S....(Mine )
3. New Audi S4...(Missus, look forward to giving it a bashing once she has run it in)

Someone must be able to top this with other interesting collections....

Doesnt that sound so cool, 1010bhp.
My godfather has a diablo 6 and a gallardo side by side, then a 850 bmw, a 4.6 rangerover, a 750 bmw ( wife) an M3 ( e36) an elise(160) a Mini cooper s( new one) and a big ass mower. Now there is a good amount of power there but also large insurance premiums, but who cares about that hey?

I remind him all the time, he took me out in the diablo and we did 185mph and he let me drive a gallardo at goodwood this year, not his as it hadn't arrived yet, oh and it was only about 20 feet, lambo were a little nervous!
He said im more than welcome to drive the mower anytime.

Sun is out and a 5 day weekend ahead with a warn and sunny forcast....I feel a Tuscan bashing ahead

Met a guy yesterday in San Pedro with a 500 Griff on UK plates that he keeps down here...looks like you'll have to come back again!

no byf, he's one of those lucky people that did all his working when he was younger, he just plays now. The business takes car of itself.

300+360+200+150+320 = 1330, yes I qualify, but I did use the motorcycle, didn't use the mower though.

At one (rather expensive) time I owned the following:

2.0 S6 BMW 320i Conv
3.0 V8 BMW 730i
4.0 V8 Griffith
5.0 V8 Griffith

So that's 13 litres and 30 cylinders but not sure of the total BHP. Luckily I'm down to my last two cars now!

Edited to say that's actually 14, duh...

Rather embarrassingly - 55bhp. That's what will be left in my garage when the Griff goes at the weekend.

I keep saying it was a once in a lifetime trip, all the cost and time etc... but if I suddenly fell over a spare £grand and was given two weeks extra holiday, I'd be off back down tomorrow

Glad the sun's back out Phil

I've got 74Bhp. Which is more than I've ever had.

I'm quite impressed!

Soon to have 170Bhp (I hope/wish)

Oh i think it would be a brave man to quote BHP(TVR), what about "what point is it" which is what some jerk at a motor show asked about our(Clarion) show car. It was a Alfa "zegata" (sp)and i think it was a 3 point 1. So i have 4.6, 5.0, 1.8, 0.602 LH drive van, 0.720 Kawasaki, 0.35 lownmower, 0.75 lawnmower and i believe the strimmer is 90 cc. Slightly short of "cred" i think.

Do chainsaws and hedgetrimmers count?
I so have about 3hp in the garage right now.
The Tuscan's sitting outside ready for a blast. Just to check if I've cured the oil leak. Not that I need an excuse.
