R.I.P. 5 June 2018
List of cars I have had or owned , in some form of time order - I might have forgotten a few...
Hilman imp ( when I was 15) bought for R50 - was buggered but was wheels - crammed 6 ppl into that car - 800cc motor used a litre of oil a week . couldnt make it up kloof street with 4 up...
Mazda 616 1600cc - moms old car - I used to steal it from time to time before I got it
Fiat 128 rally 1300cc - my first "performance" car - tried to fit a lancia 2 litre motor in itt , my first and failed modification project
Datsun 1800 - terrible boring rubbish car - a dog
Alfasud - rusted away in 2 years - utter unreliable rubbish
Citroen x3 - not sure why I bought this , but it was kinda fun...
Ford Escort RS2000 - a real "goer" at the time
Ford Sierra 3 litre - sports XR6 - wasnt a bad car till the rear suspension collapsed
Capri 3.0 litre - cool looking , no go , no slow , bad handling
Nissan 280zx - not a bad car at all , rusted away tho
BMW 2002 - bbought on a nostalgic whim..money pit
BMW 530 - Total blast to drive - a track racer for the road
E type v12 roadster - I sold it cos it needed a paint job - STUPID STUPID STUPID
About 8 various El Camino bakkies , from 5 liter to a 7.5 litre fire breathing monster - all fun to drive , all v8's , some raced as well
Renault Scenic II - POS I gave to the wife
Honda civic Vtec - a great boy racer type ricer - I raped it for 4 years
67 Camaro z/28 - swapped for the VTEC..got offered R250k for it - couldn't refuse - ubercool early yank muscle
74 Corvette stingray 454 - insane car , 500hp with brakes and handling more "exciting" than accelerating fast.. got an offer I couldnt refuse and it went
80 corvette c3 - I modded the car to do 11 sec 1/4 miles , a total beast - best performing "street" car I ever owned - 0-100km in under 3 secs
69 Camaro z28 - 8 litre supercharged methanol burning - 20 litres per km , 0-300 in 7.2 secs , sub 2 sec 0-100 7.2 sec 1/4 mile (track only car)
Honda Jazz VTEC CVT - still got , gave it to the wife to replace Scenic - wonderfully nippy useful family car
95 Camaro z/28 (still have) - very fast newer gen Yank v8 - nice daily driver - cost me little money - want to sell it now
86 c4 Corvette - highly modded (still have) - Black , evil child , 400hp motor and a very high rear gear ratio , high stall converter - hooligans car - looks like knight rider
95 Corvette c4 - stock (still have) - very nice "more than adequate" power (325hp) - got all the bells and whistles , performs , handles and stops like a modern car. As soon as my daughter gets her licence .,. it's her's to drive
2003 Jag S-type R V8 supercharged - Still have - my daily driver - what can I say , waft around like a "meneer" and when you put your foot down , the 400HP catches you by surprise..
