I have an unhealthy obsession with cars so I have a few.
I've got 2 Mitsubishi GTO's (3 Liter Twin Tubo) Jeep Grand Cherokee (4.7 V8), Audi A4 2.8 V6 quattro and a gay Honda Del Sol. My missus also convince me to buy her an S3 this weekend so I suppose that can be classed as mine too :)

You've got some serious Tax to pay on them, I thought mine was bad at £270 but that quattro must be a fortune.

depends what year it falls in :)


octavia mk2 vrs 2.0t fsi

There all pre september 2006 so its not expensive. Saying that there never all taxed at the same time and spend most of the time in bits. I just can't wait until this pay monthly thing comes out for road tax.

Anyhhooo some pics of the builds and what not.

The del slow:

Starting to strip it.

It needed a fair amount of welding on it, mainly the arches and sills.

I guess I had finished painting at this point as I had started to put it back together.

Shinny finish :) lighting was pretty **** so doesnt actually show off how shiny it was.

And then it all went wrong for this project as I bought this. My 1st GTO. I took these pictures when I picked it up. I bought it cheap as it had engine running issues. Which I sorted in a matter of hours but then rather than enjoying the car, I thought I would buy everything to forge the engine.

Got it back.

And fit one of these on it. Turbo on the left is the one I plan on fitting, one on the right is the standard one.

And this is where I plan to mount it.

I haven't got any more pictures on my computer, will get some more in a couple of days but progress has been slow and haven't really done much with either cars. I bought another GTO and was planning on using it for spares but its only done 59,000 KM which is about 36,000 miles and its never been on a UK road so seems a bit of a shame.


And this is the S3 I picked up at the weekend.

I've never driven it with it on lol, but from my experiences it shouldn't be too bad, it will be really laggy but when it comes on it will be a beast :) I have different boost settings based on what gear I'm in so should be alright. Just need to get my spare engine built and I'll be half way there :)
