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 daysDaily 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.

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

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

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
