That is my wife’s 09 GTI daily driver.
Thanks - Somehow it looked like a Citroen C2 ( I said C1, sorry 🙄), and since your forum name really has a french flavor... 😀 two cool drivers you have here! 👍

While I'm waiting for the funds to clear on my first vintage watch purchase which I found through the forum, thought I would post a few pics of the back hole for cash that is my 1976 Aston Martin V8. Bought her here in New Zealand 4 years ago with thoughts that not too much work was needed...we roll on in 2020 and haven't made it to the body panels yet... the Omega 105.002-62 is in a lot better order!

@Kiwibloke she's going to be amazing when finished. Already a looker.
Thanks @fraglerock - my hope was to get her back into original colour, original colour carpet etc (as below) but my pockets just aren't deep enough (and the Omega purchase has absorbed funds for a while)! She's running well now and everything is new underneath so will repaint the bonnet in current colour and do a bit more tidying up - get the heating/ac working properly etc. This is how she should really look....

New member here. Pleasantly surprised to see car-porn on a watch forum. So here's my 68 E-Type Series 1.5.


O.M.G.! That was my absolute dream car growing up!

Had a spin in this over the weekend, not my car but very much fun to drive indeed. Cat delete „cup“ exhaust some performance mods, dyno tested 280 hp. „Walter Röhrl“ suspension package , original WTL, light flywheel, racing transmission and clutch... this thing goes.



Now the Porsche Bug has bitten me again.... 964 WTL‘s , well any WTL‘s are way out of my league but I find my self looking at G-Series Carrera Targas (late 80‘s 3.2 with the G50 transmission) lately . *Dream on* 🥰

There are some deals to be had out there as long as you don't mind picking up a "driver" quality example.
Targas especially.
