Is it my computer or have the chemical clouds over Teeside melted your photos? You'll have to describe your current chariot.Has it got three wheels and painted sky blue perchance? :lol: :lol:

Knew I recognised those motors Fergus! Had to scroll up to see the username to make sure!

For gigs, I drive an '05 Opel Combo van, 1.3CDTi. A little cracker. It had a water leak which meant I had to remove all the carpets though. I've put 70k on that since January 08.

Herself has a '00 Opel Astra, bought from my dad with 40k on the clock.

Up to Wednesday last I had a MKV transit, which I used for mucking around renovating the house etc. You know when someone says " You could be hit by bus tomorrow?" Well i was:

Then there's my 1969 Triumph Herald:

that'll be going soon.

My latest present to myself is this:

A lovely drive and a lot of fun!

Thats my car :D It has been in the same city garage for over 10 years but due to money problems I have to store my ´new´ 9 year old Hiace in the garage while I save some money for a new windscreen to pass the MOT to get it new numberplates.So sadly the Marina has been outside for 3 months in all weathers in the meat packing area famous for trendy new cafes and east eurpoean street hookers - I also happen to live very closeby! There are a handful of other Mk1 Marinas in Copenhagen in 2009,a pair of rusty Mk2 1.3 coupes, 1 green , 1 maroon, and at least 3 very good Mk1 1.3s,a dark green 2 door, a yellow-orange 2 door and a red 4 door (from the TV commercial link I posted here last year).A good friend has a pair of vans in store, and an acquaintance has a near mint Mk 2 coupe and 2 TC coupes are listed as owned by veteran car club members ín need of restoration´although I have never seen them. There probably are a few more Mk1 1.3s tucked away here somewhere although I dont know where.......
