Daily driver is an '06 Alfa GT dirty diesel for commuting, motorways and transporting of any goods large enough to still somehow fit in a 2dr coupe.

P&J and track toy is a '93 TVR Chimaera 400, for wheelspin and noise reasons. The worlds slowest progressing project car.

Short runs, ease of access mucking about and anything not handled by the other two is the territory of the '92 NA MX-5.

Two years on, I still have an Alfa and a TVR- just a bit more betterer these days



And some silly stuff. A great big whacking daft grumbly thing




And a lorry smile

The GT is dead, well technically sold, but to all intents and purposes dead. The MX5 is knackered and tatty but still going and lives with a mate, the Chim is sat under a cover waiting to be built into a race car :sigh: eventually...

Dailies: LR Discovery and Jaguar XF Sportbrake - Mrs Weasel works for JLR so these cycle round / get renewed periodically

Weekend: 997 Carrera S - my teenagers have outgrown it now. We can’t get all 4 of us in and just about 3 at a push. May replace with a 981 Boxster GTS

Future Classic: MGF - it’s not the investment I’d hoped for. Man maths could mean I keep the 997 and I then swap the MGF for a 986.

718 Cayman GTS 4.0 manual. Collected last December, first new car, first Porsche after a fair few BMW M cars (e46, f06 and f80). I love every drive in it.

About to move house and it will finally be able to live inside!

2CV, Range Rover Sport and a Ferrari F430 Spider F1. All of them great in their own way; most fun is the 2CV, most exciting is the Ferrari and the most practical (and comfortable) is obviously the RRS. Always amuses the storage people when I rock up in the 2CV to take the F430 out!

Currently Maserati Quattroporte VI GTS but looking to move on at end of month. Probably going to go towards something I can throw a couple of bikes in the back of. Or a Challenger Hellcat........

I’m 27, and sadly don’t have room on the drive at the moment for a fun car, so i just have a 2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.4 T Elite Nav. It’s every bit as boring as it sounds laugh
Not as boring as a 1.6 auto exclusiv

Which is why I went for the less boring 1.4 T auto

40 and had my mk3 Focus ST for literally a year today.

First turbo'd car I've owned and Ford having been an accidental serial Fiat buyer for years with a Punto then a Stilo, Coupe and a Panda 100HP with an intermission of a disastrous Accord Type R...

Looking at something faster next, perhaps the ubiquitous M140i or an RS3

2016 Transporter for work
2016 Mustang GT for family work
Westfield for fun, currently supercharging it.



Edited by CraigJ on Saturday 16th February 20:41
Changed a bit now.

Mustang, Transporter and Abarth are all gone.

Westfield remains but spends most of its time now being abused on track.



Had a brief stint with a 360 but didn't really gel with it.




So i part exchanged it for a Mclaren 12C




The Transporter left to make way for a Transit Custom



The wifes Abarth left and was replaced with an Electric Mini

I’m currently in a little difficulty figuring out how to retain my motley collection of stupid vehicles when we are expecting our first child.

330d Touring. M57 engine, manual box, no iDrive. Ultimate ‘hope it doesn’t break down and cost me a bloody fortune’ spec.



GR Yaris. Just like everyone else on this forum.



997.1 Turbo with manual box. Does fit a child seat in the back so has been deemed acceptably practical.



Caterham Superlight R500. K-Series hand grenade specification. Everything is made from magnesium and carbon fibre. It has the potential to kill me or bankrupt me every time it leaves the garage. Somehow I adore it.

2020 BMW G21 330d touring as a daily and for journeys to Denmark - great load lugger and dog carrier. Every option box ticked (not by me)
2012 BMW E92 M3 - love the v8, less love for the sub 20 mpg!
2014 Z4 for Mrs C - brutally stiff suspension
2003 Caterham R300 - just a little tweaked! Use in competition too. Remarkably similar to the one above

The iron engined 330d with the ol' reliable 6sp manual for main daily duties. But still pretty fun.


A Honda Prelude 2.2 vti manual with four wheel steering as an ongoing project/weekend car and sometimes commuter. It seems to run smoother the more it's used so a good excuse to take it to work.
