What were you driving when your car was built?

[Zed Baron]

Yes, I've been drooling over that one.
This one coming up looks lovely too: https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1350054

I want, but I can't have

Omg! Only 23k miles :wub:

Here's one with 16,000 miles! in from Japan..... no rust! https://www.thecarwarehouse.co.uk/vehicle/1027/daimler-double-six

When the current Z4 was being built I was driving a Sterling Grey 2003 Z4 2.5 se.

Likewise, when my current 2007 3.0si was being built I was driving a 2004 3.0i. It feels like a nice symmetry.

The Eunos J2Ltd. Looks a bit rough by now. Wish I could do a car sos on it.

07 I was driving … TVR Griffith and an Elise S2

Corrado VR6 Storm - still have a soft spot for it

Very nice! Having thrashed an Elise S1 round a track.... good god they are exceptional :wub:

That doesn't look like it's on standard suspension (or wheels) - as they tended to look like tractors on original springs

The mechanical grip and control is amazing. With no TC or Stability getting it out of shape (LOOS not withstanding) was so hard. Talent would expire before the car's capabilities. I do regret selling it sometimes.

You're right - it was on KW V1's I think most owners ditched the hi-lux look :lol:

Always had a big soft spot for the Corrado VR6 but never had the pleasure of driving one

Don't think KW V1 were available when I did mine in 1999 - so had to make do with Koni/Eibach combo recommended by AMD (who did all the work on mine). Still they helped the RK2s fill the arches nicely.

I did a lot of track days and Corrado/VR6 club meets...

but ultimately I wanted a car that could do this...

2009:I achieved a lifetime ambition and something I never thought I would achieve, owing a 911. I still remember ticking off the days as I waited to collect it looked much better once I spent another fortune switching to clear light lenses.

In 2013 i was smoking around in one of Norfolk’s finest creations, the Z4’s like a limousine in comparison

In 2005, I had a mint V8 E39.

I looked for a 540i but couldn't find one that I liked enough so ended up with a late-2002 535i LCI. Liked it so much that I kept it until 2012 and then passed it on to my wife's cousin when I got my Alpina.

These pictures are from 2012 just before it went to its new owner.
