My wife thinks I've got too many as I'm the only driver. Besides the elite estate I have a 98 V8 Discovery, Ldv 400 (to earn a living) 96 Golf 2.0l cabby, Jag XJS 5.3 (needs tlc. open to offers) 89 Honda Vfr 750, a 94 Suzuki Gsx 750f, & a twin engined gokart. Oh and the collection of bits I'm trying to assemble as a project to use for track fun. :y

To be fair I've had no real problems with it. although it leaks around the wind screen and the side door it starts every time has the 2.l ford petrol engine and lpg. just can't get this to work. but it earns its keep and has lots of space.

In order of hp

1959 Fordson Dexta Tractor (38 bhp)
2010 Astra 1.6 SE (115bhp)
2008 Zafira 1.9 CDTi Elite (150bhp)
2001 Omega 2.5 V6 Cdx Manual (soon to be sold sadly) (168bhp)
1959 Class 108 DMU (600bhp) - My latest aquisition
1966 Class 47 Loco (2500bhp - would be higher but the peek revs have been lowered)

Not a game of top trumps.  Thats cheating on the horse power stakes.  (Whats the Power to weight ratio on the Class 47?)

Not to worry Skrunts, I will change the title to members other vehicles for you  ;)


Power to weight ratio of the 47 and 108 are approx:

47 - 22 hp per ton

Do note though, we get that through out the speed range!

108 - 10 hp per ton

There's the very non-standard MR2:



(It's turbocharged, chargecooled, got a standalone ECU, Tein suspension, and as much chassis triangulation as will fit)

Almost followed Mark straight off the circuit at the next corner as he found out that Caterhams don't come with ABS and went in a straight line.. Whoops.

At one point it was sporting white Volk Rays wheels and later model tail lights.. the latter went when someone drove into it while parked - same way it's picked up every single dent  >:(



And there's the Nissan 300ZX twin turbo - sadly broken for .. quite some time.


Nice motors, My brother has 2 x 300's one with 11,000 miles which belonged to the sultan of Brunei hence the low miles and another he has completely rebuilt/retrimmed and repainted, basically it is brand new oh and a brand new GTR....jammy git :)

20 years ago I would have out done this by being a member of one of the Deltic owning societies.

Biggest I have actually worked on is steam and is a 2-8-0 freight loco and should be restored soon.
