My 2 Toys' - Custom 84 Corvette and 2004 Lincoln Navigator
Discussion
How dee do, have been around on here for a while and have stuck stuff in the Yank Motors section but I know not a lot of people read that so figured I stick some pics in here too. I used to have a e39 540i with some mods and a monster exhaust but it blew the heads so went on ebay for a few hundred quid - according to the DVLA its been taxed again tho so at least its still running. So instead got a 2004 Lincoln Nav as my daily driver - with LPG conversion, massive set of tires and a full set of coil overs instead of the poor stock air ride, plus the obligatory K&N, remap etc - running 312 HP on LPG and 349 on Petrol.
Plus as a toy a 1984 Corvette (which I've had since I was 23, coming up on 12 years now) - heavily modified. Belt line removed and filled - full custom hand airbrushing, set of 19" DOTZ predators, TV in dash, Upgraded brakes, Hypertech chip, K&N, bigger throttle bodies, X-ram induction,hand made stainless exhaust 4 into 2 true dual system. and 600watt of ice. Making just short of 283 BHP (pretty good for a crossfire so i'm told) Also found out that its one of only 6 listed on the DVLA site as an 84 (tho there are 15 or so 83's which don't exist) of which only 3 are taxed for use on the road - so it was pretty rare before it got modded

Before the wheels went on
Hood up showing the storm scene

Rear with minimal airbrushing and the belt line filled
Sensor fault caused a bit of a pain - cheap enough to fix tho - just had to get towed home
And my daily linc
between em theres 11.1 litres - guess that its a good thing I work for an oil company LOL

Obviously I have to disagree there The storm scene and the midnight blue paint gave it the name, the laquer ain't lifting its the shape of the bonnet and the white flex are just a bit of dust from the roof of the garage Besides its a bit different from a mondeo or astra The linc is my 3rd V8 and is a daily driver - it will be pounding almost 20k a year, the car it replaced was a 330 brake 5 series which was covering about the same and saw a fair bit of track action. ITs pretty musch go anywhere with the tyres, 4 wheel drive "Advance Track" Plus heavy duty coil overs instead of the weak air ride it used to have - plus it'll seat 7 in perfect comfort with as much leg room in the third row as the second and still hit 60 in around 8 seconds even on LPG - Plus the bonnet starts at about roof level of most normal UK cars so you get a comanding view and people tend to get out of the way too
Few more pics of the Naivgator - interior is cavernous
Second row of seats - proper recliners with plenty of space
Third row of seats very comfortable with plenty of leg room - no bother fitting 3 adults in there.
Then at the touch of a button they fold to this :-
