Thanks mate  I must admit looking back at my car history it's rather random. The MR2 was a great car, just didnt have power steering and was curse word on fuel. I do have pics of the Camper conversion, they are on my photobuck account, will drop you a link. |

That Suzuki is a cool little van. You should have a read of MysteryMachines Rascal thread, he's lowered that a fair bit.

Hi Joe, Cool van....great colour and LOTS of potential If you're after some wheels then I might be able to help you out with some funky ones (depending on how extreme you want to go?) How's this for an idea:  7"x14" with a very wide offset. UBER! Will be putting them up for sale v.soon due to having some Turbovecs to fit to mine ;D |

Recognise the 205 Rallye with the Arosa headlights from my home town in Driffield, East Yorkshire, that thing is seriously loud, not seen it for a couple of months though.
Quite a varied car history too.

Ahh cool, thats where they guy lives that bought it lol.
Sent me a text late one night saying he had stuck a Hyabusa in it, was loud with the standard engine in it, so if he's done that it will be loud now lol.

Everytime I see a Rascal, Supercarry or Hijet I want one a little bit more! Next time I come into a bit of money I think I might have to get one! They are just so tempting, cute and cheap. It's always interesting seeing peoples previou car history, the kitted up 205 Rallye is quite phat in my opinion. Not too OTT and it's obvious you spent much time and money making it clean, I salute you As for the Carry yeah deck it,some nice retro-ish rims and you'll be on to a winner ;D |

Sierra - here we go again! He has an illness, it's not his fault.

Would still have it but I never drove it and then decided to go to Oz for 8 weeks last year lol. Think my car history is very random, but then again I am lol. Have my eye on some rims on the bay at moment, but bit (very) skint as just bought a house. |

Well, not much has happend with the lil van, apart from being on tip duties, picking supplies up and weighing in old scap. Managed to put my I'm Pretty Gangster stickers on which seem to make people laugh.  Have a exhaust and road runner mud flaps to fit and also have a 3 month old 8 x 4 roof rack that I got from the bay for a bargain 99p! to fit. Think thats about all I will do with this, will run it for as long as I can/need then sell up and put the money into another project like a mk1 golf cabrio |

Just picked up my new, old almost retro BMW. Bought it back after a 16 month break It's a bit rustier and needs a few bit's and pieces sorting but they needed doing when I sold it. Progress will be slow but all in all I'm pleased to be back in the old girl |
