We love cars, both classic and contemporary.
I’m lucky enough to have worked with all manner of stuff since the late 80s, from race cars to prototypes, to working in a conversion company now. Hugely fortunate to get paid for doing my hobby!
We race at weekends too so the fun never stops for us

A motor car is like a beautiful woman..... Ah sorry went all Swiss Tony for a moment....
Love cars... The curves, the sounds the individuality some cars can bring..... Which is odd as I spend so much time trying not to stand out  |

My passion for cars has been since very early childhood, owned my first one at 14 (naughty I know) amd had it taken off me my the local plod about 4 days later...
Then got another one, my first Ford Capri 1.6 GT
I've probably had in excess of 160 cars in my lifetime, mainly Fords, but my best one was a Subaru Impreza WRX STI
Currently have a few to choose from, my daily is a boring Mondeo diesel due to the miles I cover, my toy is a TR7 which i have built from chassis up... only goes out on show days, and never driven anywhere, only done approx 180 miles in the last 10 years on a road.
Fantasy car would be a Aston Martin DBS cos they are deffo better than any sex I could ever have  |

I have been very lucky to own, race and build/rebuild cars and classics over the years. When I was younger it was all about power, but racing taught me it is all about the corners and controlling power smoothly.
And Scarlet (who is the classic red mid-life crisis and nearly as old as I am) has taught me that some cars are to be seen in and treated like a princess |

"Anyone here into older (pre mid 90's) Fords?
How does a MK1 Escort cosworth float your boat? "
Any MK1 Escort would float it!! Going back years, i knew of two YB powered cars, (more common these days) a Modena green 4x4 and a Signal Orange 2wd track car. |

Id love an S1. First RS i ever drove, many years ago... My dream would be an RS500
I worked with a guy who used to be fairly well known for his Camaros... Now races a 68 (i think) Procharged Camaro |

Just the one car (Abarth 124) but it's been an absolute godsend through COVID. Top down plus Peak District roads equates to MASSIVE smiles and a clear head. Shame I need to swap for a winter jallopy |

"I love cars. Have no money but I cars. If I won the lottery I’d have a mini multi-storey carpeted garage with underfloor heating for my babies. "
I’d have a air conditioned roundhouse garage with a central turntable |
