Default Tim's past cars
I won't show the sensible cars I tried to have...as you can imagine being 'sensible' they don't stay long! These would be a vectra gsi (4 months) skoda octavia tdi (6mths) also as second cars whilst i had the TVR's or was broke were a citroen ax diesel, citroen something diesel (cant remember name!) and fiat punto 1.2, vauxhall senator off my dad.
Leading up to the scoob (which i have had the longest out of all now)

E30 m3 was first but no photo of this now then below the Hartge H35 (m5 engine and 6 speed gearbox...appeared in Bmw car)
piccie of me on trackday at Castle coomb with borrowed helmet (harley davidson!)

then eventually the RS2 (370 bhp very good but lhd)

then another e30 M3

Tvr Chimaera 450 (the only car I have crashed but got good payout from the driver that caused it!)

then briefly an S2000 which i couldn't get comfortable in and was twitchy in the wet!

then e36 m3 3.0, had this for 2 years and loved it, did a couple of trackdays in with better susp/brakes



then Tvr Tamora fantastic but couldnt justify having 2 cars


and and R32 for about 6 months

then the scoob! Which isnt going anywhere!!

Steve it was fantastic apart from when it blew its thermostat the day after I bought it! Great sound from a sports exhaust especially on the overrun!

Wowzer....lovely set of pasts you've got there mate! I'm liking the Audi and in the right colour as well I was looking at RS2's, 4's and 6's before I decided to save some money and go for the Leggy

TVR's are great motors but I dunno weather being made from a whole heap of different manufacturers parts is a good thing or bad thing?
