Any one here into anything else other than Mopars?

So.......any nice collections amongst us that I should know about.

Nice selection.....I'm particularly partial to a Beach Buggy myself.

Perfect for Jersey

Used to have a gaff in Guernsey and it always amazed me how many top end cars were there when they have even less chance of using them properly than you guys in Jersey.

That buggy is sweet ;)
I got a garage full of BMW sports bikes, a K1200R Sport (the one in my avatar) an HP2 Sport, and an S1000RR, none of 'em been out since the snow :oops: and a '72 Challenger,
An '04 Ram dayvan with a 360 (really its Hermans kennel)
A pair of AMC Pacers (don't ask)
collectively the rest of the family got a '92 Viper R/T 10, a '59 Ranchero, an '89 5ltr Mustang, a '99 Dakota 5.9R/T and a V Max, quite an eclectic mix I'm afraid

I have a few bikes and cars :) My every day bike is a BMW K1200R but i also have a BSA M20 ex-army requiring light restoration and a BSA A7 which is in boxes (i don't even know if everything is all there as my grandad stripped it down over 30 years ago but died before he could start putting it back together) i also have an old auto cycle which was my great grandad's. Plus i have a Yamaha Diverson 600, a Suzuki GS500 and two Kawasaki GPX 600's but they are to be stripped down for my bike engined buggies :D

As for cars i have my Valiant Charger but i also have a Ford Cortina mk3 pick-up (just about ready for paint), a 2 Door mk3 Cortina with a 302 V8 ready to go in, a mk2 Capri 3.0l S requiring full restoration and i am toying with buying one of my mates Lancia Stratos replicas!

In the last couple of years i have sold my 1966 Ford Corsair, mk3 Cortina 4 door, three Capris, mk1 Granada Coupe, a Swedish imported Ford Taunus, Yamaha TTR600 suppermoto and my Kawasaki ZX10R.

Wow that's quite alot when you wright it all down, no wonder my wife is always asking me what I'm buying now when she sees me on EBay :roll:

Love that HP2, brilliant track day warrior, or even Milton Keynes "public track"(even scraped the carbon valve cover) , its just dripping with hand made special parts, quality is excellent, carbon and titanium everywhere, even the rearsets give me a hard on :D
