Some of my previous cars!

Well as I said here are a few of my previous cars (and yes, I do have a VERY understanding wife!)

Ford Sierra RS COSWORTH (3 door)

Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 6:

Mk1 Escort:




 Another Mk1 Escort:

Yet another Mk1 Escort (bubble arched with an XE engine).  I stripped this down to re-do a lot of the bodywork etc but lost interest and therefore sold it in bits!


Ford Sierra RS500 (build number 56).  Nice car, however melted a piston and so sold it!












Yet another MK1 Escort, however this one had a 426bhp engine in it! Was EPIC in a straight line in the dry (once the big old T4 turbo had spun up), but a nightmare in the wet!!





Ford Escort Harrier (this was a nice and quick car, especially with the 197bhp HPE engine in it!), I spent a lot of time and effort on this car, as when bought it was a little bit rough round the edges!  This was the car that made me learn how to weld and paint, as well as shout and swear a LOT!








Ford Escort MK2 RS2000 X Pack:






MK2 RS2000 with a Cosworth turbo engine:








TVR Cerbera 4.2.  Awesome car, however the visibility for someone my height (6ft 2") was not the greatest.  was brilliant in a straight line (in the dry) but you always thought it was going to hurt you any minute!




MK INDY with an R1 motorbike engine.  I swapped my EVO 6 for this as wanted something to use on tracks that would not cost the earth to run (and repair if anything went wrong).  I had this for about 2 years and managed to get in 5 track days, as well as some good weekend blasts.  I did a fiar bit to this car, such as fitting the paddleshift.  Would I have another motorbike powered car, for the amount I managed to use it on the track.......no!

 I have had a fair few more 'toy cars' than this and will try to get them uploaded too!
