People put all sorts in. fireblade, R1 engines. Then car engines from fiat 900cc up to big block chevy. I'm trying to get a 1.2 aircooled engine in one at the mo.
As for paperwork :-) Thats another matter :lol:

Here's my list when I started driving and before...well the ones I can remember!

Wolsley 1500
Mini 850 MK1
Ford Capri MK1
Triumph Vitesse 1600
Triumph Vitesse 2000 MK2
Bedford CA Van
Rover 3500 P6
Rover 2000 P6
Mini 1275
Ford Escort MK1
Citroen GS1200
Citroen GS1200
Citroen GS1300
Fiat 127  :smt010
Fiat 128
Rover 3500S
Triumph Acclaim
Honda Civic 3G  :smt055
Fiat 500F  :smt055
Fiat Panda
Citroen AX 1.4 Diesel
Mazda 323 Diesel
Toyota Starlet
Honda Civic 3G

The worst car was the Fiat 127 it was so slow, Milk floats used to overtake me in the morning, cam belt snapped in the end.. thank god!

The best car this is a tricky one? probably between the Fiat 500 and the Honda Civic 3G. The 500 which I restored had some much character and the Civic with over 300K mileage never let me down and still running like new when I sold her.

I just bought another Civic because I miss the old one so much!

haha, that's a fair list with some great cars in it,
though i might just note that that's the list of cars you've previously owned, not ones you currently own, which is what i was after.
everyone should feel free to post full lists like this one, but i think it should be noted somewhere in the post what type of list it is:)

I'm sensing a theme with all your cars Stuey!? :lol:

Wouldn't have been worth lowering the Kia - you're better off without it! (them?)

started out on and loved my vespas with,

V100 small frame, bought for £50 at 15 and rebuitlt inc bare metal respray in spare bedroom, went through various guises and colours, ended up cutdown and yellow.

various small frames and PK's culminating in hot 135 mallossi cutdown, reedvalved with mikuni flatslide, won alot of sprints and embarressed many TS1 lambrettas.

too many PX's and T5's came and went. my DD was mallosssi T5(square headlight) with 100w stereo and double airhorns

last vespa was PK cutdown/chop with Mallossii/Polini hyrid, reedvalved, 34 flatslide mikuni, home made up-and-over exhaust, total cost £160, 0-60 3.5 secs 90+mph

first car was renault 11 gtl, lowered by front 5" and rear 7", fully shaved and smoothed, ended up getting a 4" roof chop in the street outside my house.

then various runabouts.
mk1 jetta
fiesta 1.4s
Renault 5
90 Mazda 323 4dr auto exec se which was DD for 6 years, car was auto and virtually drove itself

Marina 1.8 super resto project, replaced the bottom 6 inches of this in the street before my neighbour got pissed off and phoned the police, had nowhere to put it so had to sell before finishing it. :cry:

datsun sunny B310 7 window coupe, last of RWD y's, this car was so rusty every time I drove by the police I got pulled and they spent 30 mins trying to find an "unroadworthy"

200sx S13, silver
Bimmer E34 5 series
another 200sx S13, black with blown engine, replaced with the motor out the silver one. dont know how I didnt lose my license in this as I spent most of my time going sideways

current DD is 91 mitsu GTO, 18's, 15g turbos, MAFT pro, FMIC, pte 550's etc, 460BHP, 440 lb/ft, 0-60 4.2s have owned it for 4 years and it is expensiove to keep but worth it :twisted:

When i was a kid, we had a Holden Kingswood. Then for a little while we had a Holden Apollo, then sold it and stayed with the Kingswood. Love Holdens :)
I first started driving on a '00 Opel Corsa B 1.2, now i drive around in a '92 Volvo 460. While learning to drive i used the Polski. A couple of times i went about the city when i still didn't have my licence :). It was used as a work car for years, but sadly has been put aside. Not for long, as i want to get it back to it's original form :)
