Don't know which is worse, old French electrics or old Italian electrics....

Looking at some of the cars you guys have had and have still with envious eyes. Being a builder lots of vans and some not so bad cars and some terrible cars. I dare not to mention.
But I drive a maserati gransport now. And ------- love it.

From an old post...


Manta B - Peter Maiden rally 2.2 engine running on twin 45s (RAC rally c.1986 - note S1 RS turbo in front)


My MK2 Escort before the full rally car conversion - desperately trying to find the 'after' pics as this looks rubbish!


XR2 - not the best car for autotests


This was quick for a 20 year old owner - Renault 5 GT Turbo phase 2 (note 80s clothing etc!)


Time for some Vauxhalls now - Astra SRi (on hols in France)


When 'hot hatch' insurance shot through the roof I swapped to a Nova SR


Which didn't last long as it was too slow. Nova GTE, a bit more like it!


What was I thinking? Rover 216 convertible!


Very swiftly followed by something German - 318i


Big new job, 1 large bonus later - Range Rover LSE


Sold a while later to help fund a new house. What was left bought a German executive


The Merc left me cold - time for something more exciting, my first Alfa, a 155 wide body (note the new number plate!)


Had to show it again in more salubrious company


Followed by a 156 Selespeed


and one of the first 'bug eye' Imprezas in the UK (only pic I can find, not very good!)


Another Range Rover. I must be a glutton for punishment!


Needed a silly toy to go with it - 4litre TR7 V8


Then I decided to become sensible, sort of. 147 Selespeed


Being sensible lasted all of a few months. Now for Maser-time!


And another helping of E30


Will see if I have pics of anything more recent

Not too many from my side, still many to try.
Gone and forgotten:
Saab 9-5, 335 hp, 385000 km
Fiat punto 1.3 multijet

Gone but will never be forgotten:
Audi S3, 350 hp
MG TF 160

Would love to get them back someday, but MG's construction is so sh!t...

Merc 450 SLC 1973, first car i bought with my own money
Merc 450 SL 1974, restoration project, now gone.

Maser and Mito, current rides.

Shopping list:
A Fezza.. 308 or 355 as oldtimer, the 4200 needs some company in the garage...

SLK...for the small journeys, to go shopping and to avoid do them in the Maser.
MG A

Dream list:
MC Stradale
Merc 300 SL Gullwing or roadster. Prefer the open version.
