Well as I'm not really a collector of anything else, i thought I'd just share a few photo's of what else I do/enjoy.
Carp fishing
The boss and me
Also enjoy building track cars. Here's some pics of Bruce, my recent project.
Rover Metro GTI - 1800VVC Lotus Elise engine, running 175BHP and weighing just 850KG - complete strip down and rebuild with uprated everything! lol
I have a few videos of him in action on track and the strip which i'll post if anyone's interested.
Cheers for the comments. I've tried to leave it looking as standard as possible from the outside. The only 2 things that give it away slightly is the backbox and the larger brake conversion which now shows up the calipers red.
It's also had a full re-spray and the engine itself has covered just 23,000 miles so it almost like a brand new car now! Not bad for a 15 year old car The best time for quater of a mile is 14.1 but am hoping to get into the low 13's high 12's later this year after a couple more engine modifications.
Here's a couple of Videos of it on the strip. The first ones against my mates Nissan 200SX which is pushing 250BHP and the second one is against my other mates VW Golf 1.8 20V turbo
Cheers, yeah, fishings my way of relaxing, sitting by the side of a lake/river for several days with the boys, trouble free
I know the Metro's not a 10 second car but that's all down to getting traction from a standing start. With it being front wheel drive it's difficult to get all 175 horses to grip in such a light car even with an LSD. From a rolling start is a different matter though, it'll keep up with the likes of Impreza's, standard to lightly tuned skylines GTR's etc... and will pull all the way to 149.6 mph It makes up for it's lack of grip from a standing start with it's superb handling on track
