Summer must be about here...anyone else have any fair weather toys?

[WorcsWuss]

I just insured what has become our summer toy this evening for the princely sum of £260.

Roll on a great British summer time, can't wait!

Anyone else have any toys they keep tucked up during the winter & wheel out in the sunshine?

 

Strictly speaking this wasn't bought as a toy, it was my wife's car, bought kind of as a treat after she recovered from chemo in 2009. When we had sprog no3 it wasn't really practical [!] so I got an x-type estate for her with the intention of selling this.

 

Evidently that didn't happen, the market was on it's backside, so it has ended up staying, and since I don't really miss what little bit it's worth now, and I couldn't face losing a fortune on what I paid for it [bought from a main dealer with 25k on the clock], it's sort of become our 4th car....

 

I just bought a set of slightly larger BMW alloys to go on it to make it look a bit more 'manly' now that we're sharing it, need to put 2 tyres on them then they'll go on [my wife was SERIOUSLY pissed when she found out! ]

 

Incidentally, if anyone wants these alloys just ask! Bargain price!

 

Come on then, show us your cars, bikes, camper vans etc!

Especially with a longlife ss sports exhaust!!

 

Spent 2 years rebuilding it after buying it off the previous owner who hadn't run it in 20 years!

My next door neighbour has about 6 or 7 classic British sports cars including one of those - it's a hell of a sound to hear when your eating your weetabix and he roars off down the lane.

 

He has an Austin 3000 too which sounds and looks fantastic
