What's your car history Pete?
Errrr, a long long list, last count was around 150 cars
I used to change all the time, but last few years i have really settled down
i was very much of the mind i want to try lots of things (some of them several times)

most notable ones
A long long list of MR2s of all shapes sizes and engine swaps.. (plenty of power in these)

The list goes on like that, lot and lots of Japs stuff
My heart lies with MK1 MR2's ( currently have purchased back my original MK1) https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

My current cars are

04 Monaro in Devil Yellow (fun car) https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

88 MR2 Mk1 needs full restoration (first owned 20 years ago)

Wife has a 2012 Mk6 golf GTI

Daughter (she is 15) has a classic H plate mini with a copper S Engine fitted that we are currently doing up together

Also have access to SEIben's MG ZS180 track car, although i am pretty sure he says it our track car now (*we used to share the RX8 when racing) https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Has anyone viewed the black supercharged CV8 in yorkshire?

Tempted to have a look but it's a 4 hour drive away!!

I think it's got to be a supercharged car If I do get one.

It does look to be a good car from the ad / pictures, and the wheels really work well with it too, I'm not normally a fan of the VXR8 style ones on a Monaro getmecoat

Seems fairly priced, however judging by the MOT history, it might need some money spent on it soon.
