Well where to start?

first off i guess is the one that ive had the longest so here is the skyline which ive had for 5 1/2 years now and has only been on the road with me for the last 3 months B)

In total its covered 57k from new and has had a full engine rebuild since ive owned it. Fairly standard at the moment, just a exhaust system, air filters and boost controller fitted.

Next up is my bus

its a 1966 uk van and has survived quite well although it will be needing bodywork in the future

And heres what £4k buys you

A 2332cc full race aircooled motor to see me into the sub 18 bracket on the 1/4 mile :)


Next up is my supra which is the quickest car i currently own apart from it now needs a new block as ive warped mine B)

Low mileage and a very nice example

Next will be my track whore project 200sx which has a wankered bottom end so im in the process of fitting a new engine

Now we move on to my datsun 260z which is the best looking car i own by far!!! B)

It needs many thousands to put it back on the road again but it has to be done as its rapid, sounds the sex and goes like hell!!!

No pics of my mini pickup unfortunately as its well burried in the garage under much crap :(

The renault van.... i'll be pulling the motor and scrapping the shell as its beyond redemption now :)

And finally my trusty daily driver

I like this car lots as its very annonamous. 200bhp and fine handling but no one ever notices it. Ultra reliable and good on fuel too. Fitted with a stage 3 ecu and thats it.

Much love :lol:

Wow - one hell of a collection, when exactly do you find the time?? Are you nocturnal?? B)

Is it by chance that you have a number of motors with a shagged motor? Or a very heavy right foot - at least you've got a full fleet as back up - where do you park them all?? B) B)

Ah that explains it then. Just went on to eBay to find out how much 240's are these days and almost had a heart attack! The only one up for sale is £34k!

I won't say exactly how much I paid other than it was fugging cheap! If I sold the spares car I'd probably get all my money back and more but I'm wondering about making it a track car.....
Either way I have to get the red one on the road asap because it's cooler than hardcore Dutch porn ;)

Cool line up there........must def be something about skylines, my mate has had his R33 V spec for around the same time, also only had his on the road for a few months in that time too........keep up the good work.

Wow! You have a fantastic collection there and I get it completely! Love the Jap of course, but many years ago was also into the VW stuff! Old BF used to have a camper van, but not as cool as your '66 one - what a beauty! :D Loving the Datsun too! :)

Some very nice cars there for sure, but the 260Z has got to be the star!

Debumpered like that it shows what an attractive shape it really is, with quite obvious E-type fixedhead and Mustang influences..... those Japs really know what they are doing!!

In the threequarter rear photo in particular it looks very pretty...... nice.
