Anyone into cars?

I am a complete petrolhead. I currently own a BMW E36 328i (3 series 2.8 litre) convertible, currently rolling on BBS split rims, coilovers, and tons of other mods, got it featured in the member rides mag of Performance BMW Magazine, so i'm kinda famous lol

What are you guys and gals driving? and modifying.

Looking to buy a 60's Beetle as a second car :D

currently I have nothing... but over the years have been heavily involved in the custom and modified car areas.. also into my car audio.

Things I wont modify externally though are things like my rs2000 that I had and my series 1 turbo... as they just needed leaving as was..

Also things like my alfas I left standard. I was more for my performance mods in cars than external..

Would really like a nice old Golf cabriolet though..

Too new. My last one was a b reg. Lol

I love my old fords though but love my Alfa's too. My most heavily modified engine wise was my type r Subaru, quick that was. 0-62 in 3.8 seconds and was my daily drive. Car with most character was either my series 1 turbo or my Alfa v6. Although maybe my metro turbo on 15s. That thing was fast for what it was, as had a 1380cc modified engine and straight cut box.

I also liked my s13 200sx lol I kinda get bored

Easy so had lots of cars at once.

My pet hate on modifications is things like special edition cars being modified. Or big wheels without being made to sit right.

Pebbles has a Citroen C3 Picasso in shiny bright blue and BamBam has a lovely shiny black Toyota Verso, both brand new in the last few months (12 plates)

You can't beat a brand new car, lovely new smell, beautifully clean (well the Verso is anyway) and less likely to give you trouble

Nowadays, practicality and the need to earn a crust have taken over, so it's an 06 Peugeot 807 for me......

But when I was your age, I was driving one of only a handful of left-hand drive Audi S2 coupes in the UK -

My boss at the time went to the factory in Germany to collect it and got done for speeding on the way back!

nice one..

my brother has a '73 Suzie GT750 triple air cooled and a '67 Triumph Bonnie.

no bikes myself now but have had several when younger,

about the fastest off the mark i had was an S2 350 Kwak air cooled triple.

like the old KH250 but stubbier frame and bigger pots.

It was mental 0-60 but kept ripping up clutch plates cos of the torque it chucked out.

for comfort touring had BMW RS100.

We both have little Toyota Aygos at present, which do us just fine for now having had an Impreza, Boxster and various others in the past. I (Dave) am very privileged to get to drive fast cars for a living which I get to bring home occasionally...

Restored a '56 Beetle to concourse a few years back and won't stuff.

Used to rally a Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Can, Escort RS1800 and Opel Saxons in National and lnternational events in my 20s.

More into classic Brit bikes nowadays. '49 AJS 350, '51 Matchless 500 twin, '56 Matchless 350, BSA Rocket Gold Star, Bonneville 750 and my fave: '55 Wideline frame and 750 Bonneville engine that was the basis for my Triton.

Day to day use l have a Renault Laguna diesel (yes l know!) and my newish Daytona 675.

The TR8 was rubbish, it was detuned and not as powerful as the rover, it also had American emissions equipment which sapped power

"Purchased a TR7 back in 81, bordering on the never released TR8 I believe!. Lovely drop head that was a dream to drive despite most experts saying it's road holding was crap at the time :}

The TR8 was released - there's a guy not far from me who's got one. Fantastic shade of red, and a wonderful exhaust note from the V8 Rover lump under the bonnet. Keeps it in near concours condition.

The TR8 was rubbish, it was detuned and not as powerful as the rover, it also had American emissions equipment which sapped power"

That could explain why the guy near me drives it so slowly.....!!! LMAO!!!

had loads of mk2 and 567 escort rs2000's and 4x4 rs2000's and had one on the front cover of a very well known car mag,got a mk1 escort gt now thats really old school.then i got into cosworths and had 3dr's 4dr's 4x4's etc then the escort cosworths.

used to rally with a mate a grp4 mk2 escort that had a full spec cosworth engine and all the rest of the right bits.

used to have a skip brown lotus sunbeam and loads of other stuff, regarding the dpf the lads in the diagnostic game i use remove it and remap the ecu and take the dpf out,no more trouble again ever,theres nothing worse than regeneration and it comes back to haunt you all the time or goes into limp home mode,just get rid of it and get more power and mpg
