Mine has been running without a hiccup for more than 2 years now. Thats because i haven't been able to afford to play with it. Now i have a little money, im sure i'll break it soon.

you and me both (cept for that little hiccup with the front bar though).. payout money (when it actually comes) will go into a fibremaster front and skirts with a freshly painted new front.. yes the whole deal.. hood, both front quarters and everything.. :drool: :drool: :drool:

i did manage to spend nearly all the tax money i got back on i dont know what happened to it that i tried to save for a front mount.. summer comes right after spring and its gonna be a hot one.. LOL

Mine is my daily driver too.

I've had my beastie for 16 years now, and only had to have it towed twice.
It seems that the less attention I pay to it, the more reliable it is :wink:

Track car is finished and "runs" in the sense that it starts and can be driven out of the garage but gremlins have squatted in the engine for a month or so and it runs like shit whenever you try to use soime throttle.

Its got me beat and its off to Coltspeed this week for a search and destroy exercise. It'll get dynoed and a wheel alignment and then we're off to the track.

50% of mine run, but only 25% can be driven on public roads.
Red JA is daily driver.
Burgundy JB is complete and runs but is unlicenced, and is only good for parts.
Gunmetal grey will get all of the Burgundy JB good bits including drivetrain and will be running and licenced soon.
Red JA wreck is purely a parts car, and sadly will probably never run again.

That's my lot. :roll:

My car and I have a nice and amicable love-hate relationship. I love to hate it and it hates to love me. It ran out of rego yesterday and hasn been driven only a few times in the last 6 months. I have barely touched it this year and it looks like it will remain that way for a while. However, it will be back on the road when I get around to finally finishing the mods that I had planned for it and then I will hit the strip to achieve what I want.
