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?)

Thread title = Members "Other Cars"   ::)

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.

Surely not another terribly unergonomicly designed over corked 'souther' engine Martin  ;D

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 :)

Very nice - I'd love a really low mile example 300ZX, but they're getting hard to find (especially unmolested!) now..

Given what mine is now worth (next to nothing) I have started considering stripping it for parts and then getting a new - good - rolling shell.. which is how this one came to life, too (sadly there was hidden rust that I didn't see until it was too late - never trust a mate selling you a car..)

I'd also give my left nut for a brand new GTR..

The trader I bought my first Omega off was into Capris - had a rusty hulk in the back garden and an absolutely mint show-special tucked away in a lock-up .. looked nice in pictures, at any rate.

In addition to the Omega we have:

Mrs. KW's Mk. 2 MX5 1.8

My Westfield, built 1999-2000



.. and the title says "Vehicles", so





A Rolladen-Schneider LS-4 sailplane built in 1981.

.. In fact, we've reached the time of year when it's traditional for me to resolve to fly it more next summer. Managed a single 2 hour flight last year, IIRC :-[ I daren't work out the hourly rate. ::)

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

Pics and a better description please.  :y

Nothing special just an old pro kart style twin honda 160's rev and go. but only 2 inches (50.8mm) off the ground is a bit of fun. ;D

I thought having three fire engines was a bit whacky, let alone two trains and a glider! :D

oh dear..... I've been wrestling with this one for a while, but I've figured "what the hell", so here goes.

Currently in the Granger fleet :-
.....
so now you all know. ( plus there's the inevitable couple that I'll have forgotten about )

WTF do you keep them all?  :-? I guess they're not all actually on the road - it looks like it'd be £1000's just to tax 'em all.  :-? :-? :-?

Ahh, snow-day excursion scars, or track scars?

Track scars are, at least, acceptable on a car like that .. although not like the ones I saw one guy pick up at Anglesey :(
