Thought it might be interesting to see what other cars us rapier fans spend our hard earned on.
Steve has already shown us his rather tasty Audi;
And here's my 1998 Mk2 MR2 GT (revision 5)
What else have we got amongst us???

Where are you based?
There are only 10 of this model left its an anti skid model it had an early form of abs on it
When i first brought it back it was pretty much breaking in half as the inner and outer cills were completely rotten.Most people would have just scraped it but i felt sorry for it and returned back to its former glory
I always liked them from my youth and never owned one.
Ive had the graphics made for the bottom of the doors now so looks alot better with them on.

Other cars:
My 1946 Hillman Minx - it's er.. unfinished
Harley - it's only a couple of years old:
And my everyday eurobox (a lightly modified Vectra C):
p.s. Love the Avenger GT - always had a bit of a thing for Avengers (especially the yellow and black Tiger).

The 1946 Hillman Minx looks like its goin to be something special when its done
Ive got a euro box to missed it off as there a bit boaring when you go down the road you seem to see another ten that look the same theres one theres another
Vectra looks a bit different what few mods you done? diesel or petrol?
At least with the old ones when you drive the chances of another goin the other way are slim
I got one of these new ford Kugas

I can't take credit for the Vectra mods - the previous owner did them all.
It's a 1.8VVT petrol it started life as a SRi but since then it's gained:
1 - ECU remap by Courtenay Sport.
2 - 19 x 8 VXR alloys (and some nasty Chinese tyres!)
3 - 2" stainless exhaust with Holden Monaro rear section.
4 - Lowered suspension using Eibach springs.
It loves to rev and makes a nice noise, it's almost as much fun to drive as my old 1840 Rapier.
Amazingly I bought this from the local main dealer but very cheap, I think they were having trouble selling it!
I've got a few jobs to do - the black paint of the wheels and grille is poorly done (with a rattle can) so this needs redoing properly. I've also replaced a few bits of trim - I like a little bit of chrome. |
