Other cars

wifes car is the Nissan Almera sport 1.8, surprisingly not bad to drive. before the nissan and the f we had a discovery each..





.

Other than the two MGFs (one each, both modified or being modified), we have... my first car, MG Metro 1300, now 1440cc with modified head, cam extractor, full exhaust, 1.5:1 roller tip rockers, 45DCOE, Turbo ARB, Turbo wheels, Turbo front shocks, individualised rear suspension. Bought it in 1998 and still have it. Much quicker than a standard Metro Turbo now, and a smidge quicker than a 1.8i MGF.



Our first joint purchase, 88 Mk2 Metro Turbo, had since 2007




My Midget, my favourite toy. Bought this as an ex-california car in 1999, rough as guts but straight body, good engine etc. Made the money back on the engine, bonnet and front guards, then fitted VVC K series. Over time that developed to include modified big valve head, Jenvey DTH T/B's etc but that wasn't enough, so now has an Eaton M45 giving it a little more poke. Everything modified to suit, double wishbone/ coil-over front suspension with adjustable camber, tramp bars and Frontline RTL rear, MGF discs and Metro 4 pots front, MGB drums rear. 3.9 LSD, Toyota W58 gearbox, 14" minilites. Conversion done 2001-2002.






My wifes sensible car, ZT-T V8. Currently standard, cos I'm broke. Bought in 2009, on the road in NZ April 2010



The Germany wheels, also currently standard ZS 180. Pity the anthracite colour doesn't come out well in photos, much better looking in the flesh. The red Monaco seats don't really suit it though.




I don't have a picture of Jennie's BGT, but it looks a lot like this:

Plan is a TVR Speed 6 powered MGCGTS lookalike, apart from the engine will all be period looking stuff. That's a way off yet though.

My 'other' car, it's absolutely needed - these autumn leaves can be real slippery

Seriously though, off road capability for some of my other interests and space/comfort for lugging the family about.

The other half has a Mini Cooper s, and I have the tf or shankes pony

This is our other car.

Good to see so many true British cars amongst T Bar members.

All Brit line-up:

Another Jaaaaaag here.



Heated seats and hot-clear windscreen are very nice this time of year.

we've got an X reg ford focus with 127k on the clock, hubby has a suzuki bandit 1250 and my poorly MGF :nonod:

I've got a bit of german:-



It's an E91 325i M-Sport Touring (to give it it's full title) and I only ever use it for long distance stuff as I cycle every where.

Ummmm, I drive a 75 diesel at the moment... But it's gone in 2 days time. I pick up the F which will be my only car.

Helen has a diesel ZT.

Oh... This hunk 'o junk is my daily drive :oops:

294000 miles on the clock and you can feel every one of them!!
