Hi, and my collection

Hi, Ive been looking around here for a while before I joined up. So I thought I'd say hi, I'm 21 ive been into anything with an engine for years, I used to be an Aerospace engineer but I'm now looking to work on motorvehicles. Ive been restoring things since I was 16 and now have a small collection of bikes/cars/guns and other odd toys. Here's a few pics of what I have so far:

1972 Shorland armourd car, 2.6Ltr straight 6 petrol:



1998 S2 106 Rallye (before my blackout)



(5 mins after my blackout (60mph into a tree))



1944 Quad 20mm polsten anti aircraft unit (current state)



When finished.



1944 Austin 5ton k4 lorry (now gone)



1969 Morris minor convertible (now gone)



1970 Morris minor traveller (1 of only 10 military versions in the world)



1950's BMW 2 wheel drive R75 750cc (from Band of Brothers film)(pic is of a different example as mine is in bits)



1960 Pink panther SAS landrover (in bits so pic of other example)



1969 Landrover (my first car)



Also had a MINI City stripped and kitted.
I show as many as them as poss but can't find enough people to take all. I am a 106 Rallye register member I have only had the 106 3 months or so and then had the blackout and hit a tree @60mph in june06, but that was still long enough for me to enjoy the fantastic car. So I now plan on buying a MCS and fitting the JCMotorsport kit, once I recive the all clear from the doc in Dec.

Thanks.

Tyler.

yeah i was lookin at 182cup when i got my mcs as my previous cars were 205 gti/106 rallye/c2 gt the clios are good but what swang it for me was the character of the mini everyone see's a clio as a clio but people just love minis + they hold there value and they're german and we all know how well built the little french flyers are
Were did you get all your military collection from do still have them all?

Yeah thats the exact reason Ive chosen to get one, I got all my toys/projects from dealers and
private sellers ETC, There are even mags that specialise in them full of classifieds from
Jeeps to Tanks. Ive got all of them still except the lorry and moggie convertible.

rec: only been on since about April.
