If things seem under control, you are just not going fast enough.

Ok, here is one of mine, a 67 Pontiac LemansThe body work is 99% complete and it'll be in paint this spring. That's the plan anyway... It has a 454/T350 combo in it with full dual exhausts, black interior, buckets, console, and a his & hers shifter. Had to put a new radiator core support in it to get the fenders to line up. It was a very clean car with minimal rust, all of which one of my great friends repaired with new metal. It's going to be Pontiac Sunfire Yellow and I plan on changing the rims to aftermarket 17" PMD Rally 2 style. This is the second one I've owned, the first being a 66 that I sold because I was broke. I plan to keep this one forever since it was a gift from my wife. :D

In my case BMW stands for big money waster. Its not just nickel and dimeing me it twenty and fifty dollaring me. One thing I love about my Bronco is that its easy to work on and the parts are inexpensive

Haha, I don't own a BMW, but I am a big fan of the German marque.

About 12 years ago I owned this E36 325 TDS.... it was slightly tweeked with hybrid turbo, larger intercooler & remapped ECU, It went like stink & suprised alot of people especially as this was before the words 'Performance' & 'Diesel' were rarely ever used in the same sentance.

Unfortunately the ease at which it would cruise at license loosing speeds was its (& nearly mine) downfall - I got pulled doing 110mph :oops: (I was actually slowing down at the time!) But was lucky to hold onto my license after a trip to court :(

Tsw evo r's? Used to be all the rage bitd in the uk!


This max power scan brings back memories of lusting after all those wheels as a spotty teenager!

My current car is a bit gay in the company of all these muscle cars

It sits on Bentley continental split rims and has been remapped to around 265bhp, also it sits a good bit lower now than in the pictures....

Haha - I used to buy Max Power each month religiously :oops:

The wheels on my BMW I believe were the plain original TSW Evos - the 'Rs' had a kind of bent-spoke design? They were a little out-of-date when I had the car, but painting them the anthracite colour freshened them up a bit.... that seemed to be before painting wheels different colour became popular. I had a Vauxhall Corsa before the BMW... that had the Speedline Allesio Cap wheels that are also featured in your scan!

Your TT looks sweet on the Bentley wheels - & its in the best colour :wink: I love the original shape TT (The uniqueness seems to have been lost with the MK2 TT?) - the interior in these is especially cool 8)

I don't have many pics of my toys....I have this one of my daily driver when my brother in law detailed it. '04, 6 speed.

I've got an '87 Iroc in the garage sleeping, and a '73 RS/LT camaro also sleeping peacefully. No good pics however, not that you would want to see them in the sorry state they are in.

Me too. It seems pretty chav-tastic with the benefit of hindsight!

Well remembered! I do know the wheels you mean. As for the speedline alessios, plenty of kids in old vauxhalls still seem to run these up here.

Cheers! It has the silver leather too which is nice and fresh. The wheels are murder to keep clean, i have a different set on at this time of year....
