I'm slowly sorting my MX-5, am in the process of uprating the brakes while negotiating on a 240bhp turbo upgrade. It's already had lots done to it, I'm getting there slowly.

The Healey's virtually all modified and goes and handles extremely well. It requires brute force to keep it on the road at speed and the brakes, dampers and tyres are all a bit rubbish but that's lots of the fun.

Tuned and modified Forester for sensible and family driving.

Gone but not forgotten. About a year ago, I received a Facebook message out of the blue from a guy who had bought the old girl as a rolling shell, and who plans a full restoration. He tracked me down from the old CAMS log book which was still in the glove box!

Yes, considering that since the 80's (their 2.2L), the turn of the century (their 2.4L), through just recently, Chrysler has recalled MILLIONS of vehicles for engine fires.

2005 article: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/10740800/...-cars-over-engine-fire-concerns/#.WucfLS_1lvc

article about the 80's 2.2L: https://www.cheersandgears.com/forums/topic/78728-fabulous-flops-chrysler-22l-and-22l-turbo-i/

So if you have a 40 year old Chrysler engine that hasn't caught fire, you might have the last decent power plant the company built.

Same Ford Focus I was driving yesterday and will drive again tomorrow. Seems a lot of people here have too much money for their own good....

I've had several 4.0's, great power, leaked oil consistently at about 120k.
My ride and then, the brides.


Guess my favorite color?

Some last drives in the 650ix as she's for sale. @Archer - this would complement the M2 nicely. I can have it in your driveway in 20 minutes!

20 minutes? You must drive that thing like an old granny! 😉

As I get older my cars are getting smaller, not bigger, but thanks for thinking of me though!

Can I ask what the replacement will be or is?

Cheers, Al

Haha, it is true that I'm lighter on the throttle than when I was younger.

Similarly, I've downsized. Just picked up an Audi TT RS. It's a little 400 hp beast. Never thought I'd own a TT but this is a different animal completely.
