About Me

I change cars like the weather!!!

My newest addition is a MK3 MR2 Roadster with a TTE twin exhaust and red leather, otherwise standard for the time being.

The Porsche is my baby, it's much much faster than people expect, 231bhp doesn't sound like alot but i have always noticed Porsche horses seem to pull that little bit harder than others. and the car can geniunely keep up with a 996 911 carrera on a straight and lose them in the twisties.


At heart though i am a Alfaisti,

UPDATE 21 July 2011

Porsche is no more, sold for a very tasty profit.

MR2 roadster currently up for sale, as i have a girlfriend now so no more need for posing.

Recent addition to my car collection is a Skoda Fabia 1.4mpi in 'horrid' red! it's to get me to work and back and thats it's... very economical! i've been averaging 52mpg from a full tank though trip computer reckons it's 56.1mpg.

highest mpg i have seen on my 1hr commute is 67.4mpg, i had to drive like a complete granny to achieve that though.

PLan is to make do with my Fabia and my Felcica until december when i treat myself to another sportscar.

Update 31st aug 2011

MR2 roadster Sold! Fabia 1.4 mpi being used by my father for the time being.

Back in the blue 1.6 gxli Felicia, i'm going on a 2weeks eurpoen Tour in it and putting around 4000miles on the car over that period.

I've got new wishbones(inc bushes) shocks, springs top mounts all on the motor now.

Once i'm back from Europe I hope to do a 1.4 16v or a 1.6 16v engine conversion if i can get the necessary help from the Guru TeflonTom.

Update 18th Oct
Back from Europeon road trip, unfortunately the Blue Felly didn't make it all the way, it gave up 3 1/2 hours south of Calais with a blown tappet. car still worked but wanted to be safe rather than sorry so got recovered back home.

Red Fabia 1.4mpi now SOLD, it was a very good car.

Since last update i have persuaded my missus to sell her awful 1.4 60ps auto Arosa and i've got her in a Silver 1.4 16v Comfort Fabia which is far nippier.

So currently catching train to work but should have Felly back on the road in the next two weeks.

Sportcars delayed until feb now, and also hoping to order a vRS estate in black the moment the 20% vat offer includes the vRS again.

Not bothering with engine swap on Felly either now

 

WOW so an Update in JuL 13,

Got myself another MR2 roadster, since last update got through a Mercedes 300CE-24, Celica vvti, Felicia Estate 1.3 and now back on the MR2, got a new missus to boot, much better than the old one.

 

In process as always of selling the MR2, it's really nice but work as a travelling sales executive now and need something just as fast but cheaper to run and more practical, plan is as always to get a vRS Estate from new. just wanting for the correct financial time to put in the order!
