Here is my beauty  Mr Randy The Red Rover, hes a 1996 Rover Mini Mayfair with a 1.3L single point injection (SPI) A series engine with around 50 Horse Power. Performance mods include: induction kit and straight through exhaust.
None performance mods: steering wheel, gear knob, Bluetooth and iPod radio, custom red carpet and black mats. clear indicators and brake lights, leather hand brake and gear stick gators, extra under seat speakers, heavy duty wipers for improved vision on those rainy days o and lastly seat extensions cos im tall  .Everything else ive done is to replace standard parts that are worn or damaged. The financial damage to date including purchase of car is nearing £7000 over 3 years and i haven't even rebuilt it!. So ye a peace of advise don't buy a classic if its not a labor of LOVE Lets see what everyone else has!    |

RIGHT HAND DRIVE!
looooove it!
I'll get some pics asap but i have me a 2010 Aqua Blue Metallic Camaro SS.
It's an 2ss with an all american V-8. It's an automatic, i wished for a manual but i cant be picky with this color, seeing as only 3228 of them were made in this color. Most of them being 6 cylinders.
Ground effects kit and a upper and lower grill insert for cosmetic mods.
Performance mods are exhaust, and an Cold air intake. dont wanna void the warranty so no tune yet.

wow me liky alot!! its unfair american insurance is so much cheaper than UK, if i asked to insure that over here i would be laughed at! and sent to a mental hospital . if randy and your SS mated it would be a SWEET ASS MINI or a very slow SS ! Randalla I also have guns but again america allows a larger range, we can only have bolt action rifles and shotguns of which i have both:P if we want a pistol its gotta be super long ! |

I have a black 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage coupe. Unfortunately its the base model with a 1.5l engine that had at one point about 90 horsepower. It has manual everything... Only mod I've added is a new radio, the old one was dying on me... Probably the only good thing about it is the godly gas milage: In the 30s doing city and in the 40s on the highway. |

My 2010 Santa Fe was TERRIBLE in the snow. Couldn't get up a hill if my life depended on it...so I traded it in for this lovely beast, aptly named "schlong". Nice, shiny, black forest green 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with some type of engine that makes it go pretty fast, nice big four wheel drive wheels, nifty computerized gadget thingie that shows me how fast I'm going, how many miles until my gas tank is empty, outside temp as well as a multitude of other neat things. What else...bluetooth that talks to me when I get a call. Buttons on the steering wheel for the voice command controls (so I can change my radio stations on command), sat radio, volume etc...Ohhh and a SUNROOF!!!!!!!!, auto lights (no need to push a button, they go on at dusk or when the wipers are on), heated side mirrors, automatic dimmer for the rear view mirror, some sort of thing that warns me if I'm trying to switch lanes and I don't see a car in my blind spot....and probably LOTS of other stuff I don't know about. Oh! I can listen to my songs on my Iphone remotely. Also...garage opener (homelink or something like that.) This baby drives beautifully and HAULS ASS in the snow...but I always practice safe driving. Plus, the green is beautiful! The SUV actually looks black, but in the sun there is a fantastic undertone of bright, sparkly green that is SO pretty. [img src=" ![]() i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx203/Amarynthsphotos/Mynewjeep.jpg" src=" " alt=" "] Hmm...don't know why the image doesn't show up on the thread, but if you click the link it should bring you to the image. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong and Rand can fix it for me lol |

<3 I'm in love with Jeeps now too. I was just telling my daughter today that I need a "play Jeep".  I bought this one brand new, so no previous owner and so far, a year and few months later, it has been very reliable. And yes...I like powerful cars. I once owned a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500. Redneck gals like their trucks. lmao |
