Hey all - A few pics introduction

[Craig]

Hey guys, just thought I would say hi and introduce myself and a few previous cars
I work over here but come from the Highlands of Scotland, for those that have heard of Loch Ness, it ain't far.

I am currently driving an R32 Golf, its a 3.2 V6 with 4WD and heated seats which is definitely needed there just now. I also have a 2.0 Williams engined megane coupe.

Enjoy the few pictures and good to catch up at a meet to show off the shitty hired Kia I have whilst here

In the second pic mine was the Evo VII and not the Lamborghini unfortunately, we did manage to get a standing start on a real quiet road with a long straight, it was surprising to 110 then worrying after that

[Bezman]

nice golf, the megan nice too i guess, is the williams spec a pit more than the stock coupe?
but other than that nice collection of cars from the past.. welcome.

Nah the megane is just a work horse to get me to work and back, the Golf I am thinking on changing for an Audi 4 series, most likely the 4.2 V8, I do however like the RS6 which has dropped down to affordable levels, 4.2 V8 Twin turbo, with a map and nothing else on UK 99 octane fuel 650 bhp is easy to get.

No way man, you seen the price of fuel in the UK recently especially up in the north of Scotland, its around £1.35 around 8 times more expensive than here

[cinco]

if gas prices are a problem then you dont love your car
drive what you can afford
i heard insurance is a pain over that side of the pond too

[Craig]

The Evo VII looked almost standard when I got it, it took almost a couple of years to get it looking like that, the guy I sold it to crashed it through a fence a couple of months later and totalled it, he survived just.
The maroon colour Golf is a 2.8 VR6, the Peugeot was the 1.9 GTi and I loved it, what a fun car to drive

[Monk BANzai]

[MG Man]

[Craig]

if gas prices are a problem then you dont love your car

Hence the reason I am not driving a Porsche GT3 perhaps or a maybe a Murcielago, I do love my cars and 5 years of modified Evo ownership should be testament to that, At an absolute push I would get around 120 miles per tank two three times a week, every day for a month after getting my IV.


MG Man, what a blast that thing must be, well cool car, last one of them I seen was in the rallying circles.

Good run out the backroads today in the Golf, last drive out with a decent car for a while, I come back to the much much warmer Trinidad, the hills are White with snow here just now, looks nice but bloody freezing

[cinco]

just messing with you man
all i can do is look on in envy
i like you sense of taste not the usual jappo everything

[Craig]

Nah I have a real broad taste in cars, I quite like a decent sleeper. Last weeks Top Gear raced an old Transit van against the Aussie monster Holden pickup, the Van had a full transplant from an XJ220 jag, mental quick

[MG Man]

is the 205 yours too?

[cinco]

yuh i saw that episode
top gear rocks i want their job

[foss]

sweet pics man,

jealous much

[Craig]

is the 205 yours too?

I had the 205 before the VR6, one of the best fun cars I have owned, superb handling.

I got a new toy just last night and returned to Trinidad today without even a test drive, its a 1998 GTO that has been stored for the last three years, I will get a full service done when I get home including timing belt, it may need bushes etc but will have to wait and see when I get it on the road

[3stagevtec]

wow, that Mitsu looks flawless!

[Craig]

wow, that Mitsu looks flawless!

It is very clean, no parking dings, scratches or dents anywhere, the alloys are immaculate too with no kerb marks, although I will change them no doubt for a set of 19's I think

The car has exactly 60k on it so pretty much new tbh

[Craig]

Finally sold the Renault, here are another couplek of pics of the GTO, as yet I have not done a thing with it due to the limited time back home, it will make it on the road next time though!

[Morpheus]

Man you have/had a wide range of cars. Awesome.

Update us on the GTO when ever you get to taking it for a spin.

[Craig]

Will do Morpheus, the GTO will be on the road for when I get home around the 3rd July, it is needing a real good clay and polish after being tucked up for the last few years in a garage.
I ordered a few bits for it today to give it a good and proper service, timing belt, water pump, tensioners, oil & filters, it also had a double din stereo fitted originally which was removed when it was imported in to the UK, it was then fitted with a single din with a CD multichanger but no blanking plate or proper surround so I managed to get both the surround and a box to tidy it up a little.

Here is another couple of pics of it




The Golf I will probably advertise when I get home too, although I have a couple of car events to attend next time home and would like to take it to at least one of them

[zcarz]

i really want one of those golf's.. driven in one once, the engine is the best sounding 6 cylinder in my opinion, and mighty fast too, wide array of cars you got there, really cool. i love that GTO as well

[legoRB]

I...WANT...THAT...GTO.....
