My RX-4 that I wanted since I was a kid and why !.

Perhaps I could take daddy in law for a gentle ride around in his GT86

I have even had the 4 round the track a few times

Looking around for pictures of the RX-4 I found a couple pictures of cars I have owned as well, including one people here have seen before. My first ever race in an Anglia

Found the "arty" shot I was looking for that Mazda used in their Mazda mag.

p.s. 25 odd years ago I ended up with my own MK2 RS2000 replica Estate that a long term friend of mine built, shame I have no pic of it.
with its 3.5 ratio diff it used to go real well on Motorways and miff a lot of people when they came up behind me and I used to pull away

I also owned a now super rare genuine MK2 Cortina 1600GT Estate "allegedly" Ford only built 400, at the time I just thought it was a good tow car, same as I did with the gorgeous MK2 3.8 Manual overdrive Jag I owned when I was 18 ( poor thing was a low mileage Chauffeur driven car all its life, till I got my hands on it!)

I could go on and on as I have owned a staggering amount of cars over the years.

Had all sorts over the years some of which can be seen below, plus the good one of the RX-4.

That jag is sublime!
I recognise the Anglia by the speedo, but heavily distracted by the wild hair lol
Mustangs are cool, not a fan of flame paint jobs, skill involved to do it, but.........
The Plymouth is an aircraft carrier......love it!!!!!
Not sure what the yellow yank tank is with the ladder bar rear suspension.

Mk2 cortinas are cool!

Seems you've been around the block a few times ole bean

Doh, you let me down, I thought you would have known about the famous once mythical Henri Hirise / the car that was on the first cover of Street Machine, now fully restored and out on the custom scene all over again. ( I had it when it was running a Pantera lump) The guy who owns it tuned down 55K for it a couple of years ago!

BTW it started life as a Ford Consul

Won a Drag Racing championship with the Mustang and don't forget flames were in then as it was 1980

Just thought, shame more people didn't post on Jamie's cars you have owned before thread, god I could have bored you all to death.

Jamie R · April 17, 2019, 09:40:29 PM

Flames? Ugh...... If ya want ya car to look like its on fire, well set it alight lol

Nothing at all lol

Nothing ageist

Let's just say his responses are not as sharp as days gone by.......the only thing to improve is his road rage

Good heads up, but this is a different animal to mine.

It's a series 2 with a 13B fully smogged up plus by the bumpers its american, plus wow, did you see those seats

Seriously, thee more you look the more rust you see so you would need an extra Â£20K min to get this car back, interestingly no under bonnet pics.

Lota Lota work to bring that car back

Just found whats probably the best image I have ever seen taken at the Belgravia Square Show and thought I would use it to update the thread

rote8 · October 03, 2019, 10:12:15 AM

Is it better because Lisa and yourself are in the shot.
