Inspired by the response to jfb1977 search for the perfect weekend toy I thought I'd ask if anyone actually had something tucked away in their garage just waiting on the sun coming out.

I've got one (plus a couple of bikes) but never suggested it as it doesn't meet his requirements. Here she is.



What have you got?

I **usually** have something impractical as a summer toy, not at the moment due to work problems, but my last two were a BMW 323 Cabrio followed by an Audi S4 Cabrio

BMW:

Used to, had an s2000 & a reliant scimitar, both gone now. However I 've spotted an old jag xj12 not too far away, must resist....

Takes me back a few years - I used to have an STi4 - I do like that in all black though

I've got something completely different now - My Jeep

Love the last pic alistair , like a zombie apocalypse machine

Used to have a Mazda RX8 when they first came out , but it hardly got used approx 2000 mile in a year , thank christ tho i got shot of it after a year , the prices on those cars dropped quicker than a Prosties Knickers …..

Just sold this - I'm after a Nova SR now

Usually have a citroen for when the FF isnt working or the like and at the moment its just a lowly C5 HDi90 but its getting a good 800+miles from each tank fill of late which would be at least 2 tanks from the FF and double the cost as its only a piddly 68litre tank but does well for me

Toying when the FF is back on the road of hunting down a good activa as backup instead or one with a blown engine and dropping the HDi110 unit in there with VNT and remap for eating up exiges and elises round the twisty stuff and the odd porka  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
Mantec Sump Guard, Rigid Load liner, MY10 BT upgrade.

Ah, a fellow Citroenista...? I've had a few...  Graham

Here's mine, bought last Feb, spent loads doing it up, sadly will have to sell it when I change the RR...

A far from pristine or stock Disco 1 V8. A great car for hauling, towing and off roading. It's new to me and I'm really happy with it. If I didn't already have the FFRR and hadn't experienced the FFRR driving pleasure, it'd be my only car. Purchase price was similar to that of a good set of off road tyres and rims for the FFRR.

My new toy.. Had it in the Porsche centre today for a free health check. They water and oiled it, spent 45 minutes on the ramps checking stuff then showed me underneath it. The workshop manager gave me the technicians business card and said if I am doing any work to the car and need advice then just to give them a call.... Unbelievable day and all free of charge!
