Unchanging, as always Hey! I am not alone after all! Way to go, lewisk78! Mine is a way off, though... Still, one day... ;D Topaz orange and with alloy wheels, manual o/d transmission and a few very subtle mods - Holley carb, maybe Spax shocks and inserts, polybushes... Yay! I wish I weren't such a dunce and could post photos. I've got some pics of my Chamois racer I could put up. Where can I host them? I'm

Impmaniac, if you email them to me at lskingston at hotmail dot com, I can host them and put them up for you, or you can use somewhere like photobucket.com/ to put them up Got that in a lockup 10 mins from home, just need to get the V5 signed off by the bloke who owns it...parked it in there 6 years ago, never moved it since! Shame Tis a manual too, think it's one of the last Java & manual ones .....and no, it's not what I'm referring to in my signature

Mine is this, My first Car, Its in storage at the mo but just clearing the TR6 Stuff over a Little so we can get both cars in. What a sight my Garage will be, A Midget and TR6 Both being done at the same time. It need a full Respray, Waxoyl, New Rear brakes (However I think A full Overhaul of the Rear axle) New front Valence and thats it. Bloody bestcar I have driven for handling and about a NATS C**K off the floor too.

agree with the trekker! nothing would be cooler than cruising around in one of them with the top down and the sun shining!
If all goes well i should i have a certain beetle and 411 i hope to be crusing(abusing) next summer!

That looks seriously funky BGT, cannae wait to see the pics of your garage! You gotta stick some up! What's this '6, I don't remember any mention of that Well, the Stag, it needs a few patches on the sills and floorpan, brake overhaul, probably some wheel bearings, fresh timing chains, a full service...probably 101 little other things too, but time will tell ..the usual "been standing for so long everything needs anew" probably ;D

Ahh the TR6 has been with us as long as the Midget so about 8 years, Its in peices of course but is all there. She is the Export model so Injection Straight 6 2.5. In a Dull Blue colour, Only reason why she aint done is cus as soon as i start any work on her something seems to break in the GT/Midget(when that one was out).
I need to get some pictures done, Various people have asked me about it.

I'm aiming to get the Sprite fixed soon, however I'm really not looking forward to running-in the rebuilt engine but once that's done it will be such fun to drive! The sound of a 948 A series revving well of the top of a 6K tacho is lovely & I'm sure that a 998 will be just as sweet ;D
