Nice collection there, looks like you got ample parking also?

they all yours or family members?

jayzee 18th February 2011 04:14 PM

Owned over the last 3 years. I get this itch :-(

The TR6 went a few months back, so now it's just the S8.

Nice Cerbera - which engine did it have??

jayzee 18th February 2011 05:20 PM

4.5 :love:

frankow 18th February 2011 05:49 PM

Good taste, looks like you've had some fun over the last 3 years +++

briang9 18th February 2011 08:03 PM

That Fiat looks nice, looks like some kind of special edition? Always had a soft spot for Fiats, a standard Coupe was my (early) mid life crisis car some years back, lovely car in metallic BRG, ahh well the memories..............

Very underrated cars; I have had three of them over the years +++

The one above is an LE - not to everyone's taste with the red Recaro interior. Hated the rear spoiler that was on it, but 1st owner did that from new :(

Some more pics of it...

And my Sprint blue 300BHP version...

Very nice, only the Italians could colour code bits of the engine. The Sprint Blue was always one of my favourite colours, must have been a bit of a handfull pushing 300bhp through the front wheels+++

jayzee 19th February 2011 10:19 PM

So true Brian; only an Italian could do it +++

304 BHP wasn't too bad, thanks to the viscous drive. One chap had 650BHP from one of these -all through the front wheels!

On the subject of Fiat - check this out

http://www.fiatforum.com/lets-talk-f...ml#post2148915

One of the weirdest, most amazing things :eek2:

How on earth could everything be just as it was left 30 or so years ago without anyone noticing?

Beggars belief! :eek3:

briang9 19th February 2011 11:21 PM

God yes thats weird, mind you my experience of Fiat Dealers (mostly Arnie up here) is that they still have the same customer ethos as back then I think?

how many tyres did you get through? my standard 147 bhp used to only do about 9k on a front set, that may be more to do with my lead right foot though!!

jayzee 22nd February 2011 12:16 AM

10-12k I recall. 15k on some Bridgestones once :cool:

jayzee 3rd March 2011 10:18 PM

One I almost bought a couple of years back - this very car.

http://www.torquestats.com/modified/index.php?car_id=70

Timing was wrong as I had to get rid of the Cerbera first :mad:

Over 600 BHP on 102 (now defunct) octane :p

Vid of it's brother doing the 1/4 mile with 500 BHP

I'm lucky enough to still have both my '97 (Scots Green) 20v Turbo, as well as my Black 03 FE D2 S8 - totally different drives, but both make me grin..:D

I'm not talking to you any more :p

:)

tintin 5th March 2011 10:35 PM

Yeah, I'm lucky, and have a very understanding missus.

Tho' she's getting increasingly p**sed off at driving round a bashed up Fiat Panda...:(

briang9 5th March 2011 11:22 PM

Lucky man Tintin, both very nice cars, with hindsight I wish I had gone for the Turbo on my Coupe but at that time I was Mr Sensible with a 3 year old and a huge mortgage so had to compromise, did the same when I bought a Rover SD1 years ago, went for the 2.6 and always wished I had gone for the V8, however now older and dafter didnt compromise on the Audi, just had to have the S8. +++

cheers
