drove a delivery van for 14 at approx 750 a week then another 15 - 20000 per year for 38 years i would guess some where around 1.5 million to many to think about
OG i don't know weather you are interested in a you tube vid of Jay Lenno taking a ronin RS211 lotus elise for a run turbo 1.8ltr engine producing 680 hp at back wheels and sounds great.
first car was a 1949 morris minor low light wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. I now enjoy driving my 1969 mgb gt great car just have to keep the spanners handy
I had a 1956 imported volkswagon 36hp if you had a head wind it would go faster in 3rd than in 4th as 4th was overdrive even though i still loved that car
50,60 and 70's the best by far you only needed half a dozen spanners a hammer and a pair of pliers you could do anything. Now you need 12 degrees in electronics.
I have painted a lot or cars, bikes and hot rods over the years.The key to a good paint job is the preparation spray evenly put paint a little heaver on edges is not that difficult DON'T rush.
I would have thought a HSV holden /vauxhall G8 would be a perfect family/performance car going around take mum and the kids shopping go home kick them out and then its 348kw (500hp) BLAST TIME top gear team love them.
i don't know how old you guys are lambos and ital stuff no good for me can't get in or out of the bloody things although i have just purchased an MGB a real sports car without all this electronic crap :amuse::amuse::amuse::amuse:
