Hi, I have been browsing the site for a while and thought it was time I better sign up. Here are my current cars nothing too exciting compared to some of the cars I have seen on here tho biggrin

I currently have 2 cars a the moment. My main run-around is a Citroen C1 I got from new which I'll hand back next year as I don't really drive it that much:



My other car is a Covin kit car I bought in January as a little project. It's intended to be for weekends etc but isn't the most pratical car to own:



Before these cars I used to own alot of French cars. My first car was a Renault 5 Campus, before going onto a couple of Clio's and then a Fiat Punto I managed to put into a few trees at 2am and write off. That was then followed by a Citroen AX. Anyway enough of me blabbing on..

That kit car looks a hell of a lot like a 911 turbo....

Here's a few more of the Covin:







Covin's are based on the VW Beetle/type 3 chassis with the fibreglass shell so while it has the looks it doen't drive like a 911 unfortunatley. You can usually pick them up between £2k - £7k depending on the condition etc. The one I has had a few engines in it over time but now currently has a 1.7 Alfa Boxer engine running off a 1600cc Beetle gearbox. It's not everyones cup of tea but hopefully it will make an intersting project

Saw various Covins at a kit car show in Bristol back in the 80s.

Looks a decent example smile
