Actually I have forgotten loads now I look back .......lunch break had well and truely finished and I was only half through ... lol

I think your refering to the 73 clubman, beyond sensible repair as it's been sp extensively gas welded by a blind goat with a nervious twitch!

Also I notice my beloved Golf GTi Cabrio isn't on there, nor the Mini MPi Seven.

Looking at at the list again I can probably double as I seem to have blanked out a whole 2yrs after leaving Uni and a couple of cars that I owned but never really drove much as they were bought to restore and move on .... then there are the countless MGBs that I rebuilt for people.

Highlights of the forgotten cars;

BMW E30 M3 (not evo)
BMW E30 325Se
BMW E30 320 cab
Sylva (now Raw) Striker with Lotus 907 lump in
Lambo Espada (bought to restore, broke even on resale but loved the noise enough not to care)
Ferrari 328GTS (5 grand in one year on just basic services!) ... worse part was the 'tash you have to have by law to drive one *wink*
Maserati Spider (bought on Saturday, sold on the following tuesday for nearly double after sorting out the vandal damage to the paint!!!!)
Jetta GTi 16V which I never even got home as it was side swiped in Brum on the way home
Polo saloon with 16V gti motor in ... mental sleeper
Golf Mk2 1.6 which I bought for Β£50 whilst I was looking for the Passat which turned 500,000 miles!!

Still a load more I'm sure.

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

its not just what i do, alot of it comes from still living with my folks and paying peanuts for rent! not for much longer tho, will be back with a cheap car again very soon as need to free up the money for property.
and yeah there is a lot of money in the pimp game, that helps too *wink*
