I'd never normally look twice at a Polo, but you've done all the right things there. Great stance and pretty practical too. More ponies wouldn't hurt of course ... never do, eh?

Interesting collection ... don't recognise half of them having lived in the US for 20 years. The Capri and Cortina are awesome. Funny thing about Fords for me ... I'm a hater. Friends don't let friends buy Ford, etc. But the older classic 60s Fords always give me the wood.
I have my eye on a Ford Ranchero body in a field next to where my GF lives. Just a body, no chassis, motor or anything and the paint has all burned off and it's a lovely bronze rust colour ... Like I need a new project, like a 2nd hole in the YKW ... hehe

Not much of an update, really. I've been cleaning out my garage and organizing stuff as I find it distracting working in a messy garage. I've also had to do some stuff around the house, fixing this and that and preparing for the (soon to be) new missus moving in. Life happens, yeh? I did order some wheels and tyres. I'll use them on my Miata for a while and see how they do on the Celica. The wheels are Konig ReTrack in 15x7.5 and the tyres are Hankook Ventus R-S3 in 225/45ZR15. Here's a pic of the wheels: ![](http://i880.photobucket.com/albums/ac3/SvenPHX/retrackgrphte.jpg) I think they'll look pretty good on the Celica. The wheels are the maximum width (7.5") allowed for the autocross street tyre class I race in (STS) and the Hankook tyres are supposed to be the hot ticket for the street tyre class. Update! Dang, they arrived already and look even better than the photos! -Steve

What a great pair of cars ... you guys are so lucky to have them and it looks like you've put a lot of work into maintaining them so you should be applauded.

The Del Sol is gay and has nothing to make up for it, it's ugly, it's FWD and it's got nothing for boot space. The MX5 is gay but makes up for it with perfect handling and shifting and a motor that loves to have it's ![](http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/underwire/2009/11/fox_60.jpg) whipped ... it maybe has 125hp (later models with VICS/VVT have ~150hp), but I swear I'll get a speeding ticket in it soon ... The top on my (POS) 1995 MX5/Miata goes up and down in seconds and is completely waterproof, but I have to have it down when I'm wearing a helmet and in my 'race car driver' position ... I'm 6'. It has a perfectly serviceable boot and gets 30+ miles per US gallon. Most parts for it are cheap and it can be hopped up cheaply and working on it is simple. -Steve

'Longroofs' are all the rage out here, like this Chevy II Nova: ![](http://www.stationwagon.com/gallery/pictures/1967_Chevy_Nova_II.jpg) But I really like the Victor FC: ![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/39/VictorFCestate.jpg) -Steve
