I currently own a 92 probe GT turbo project, a 05 Mazda6 summer daily driver, a 97 Mazda 626 thats my winter/beater, and then my 09 Kia sportage which is my work truck.

This is my beater 626. 5 speed manual trans, KL V6, lots of fun.

Ouch. lol. No there actually very rare 2 piece A.R.E's that came factory on the Mustang Saleens in the 80's. I just run them without the center caps cause there a bit too dated for me.

Lol no. The stereo has been removed (along with all interior, a/c p/s abs etc) It has half a dash, two seats, a cage, and not much else :lol:

I've had it 11 years this Xmas :o

no pics on this computer but i will gt some and edit them in.

i have a 2001 Fiat Punto 1.2 (which has coilovers wound to the floor), a 1990 Escort RS Turbo with 1900 CVH Turbo engine, a 1986 mk4 Escort XR3i with 1600 CVH Turbo engine, a 1992 5 door Sierra mk2 with a 1600 Pinto engine on twin 40s and my daily '07 Skoda Fabia vRS SE (ra-mapped of course).

Also looking at buying a Sierra Estate for when our daughter comes but that would mean the missus would have to sell her Seat Ibiza FR :lol:

Here is my daily hack, it has a bit of an identity crisis as the previous owner removed all badging from the car...

And yes, I have painted my brakes bright yellow. But I did upgrade them in my defence.

Love your style, my man. Some top motors there. Especially loving the 929 - don't think I've ever seen one of them before!
