Post pictures of your pride and joy

Post pictures and stories about your cars both present and past. Also post up "blogs" on your restoration projects - the more pictures the better! Note: blog-type threads often get few replies, but are often read by many members, and provide interest and motivation to other enthusiasts so don't be disappointed if you don't get many replies.

Occurred to me that i haven't posted any pictures of my pride 'n joy. This is my '91 Wrangler. Brought it back from California when i moved back here in 2002. Probably not to everyone's taste on here (or anyone's perhaps), but i like it. Certainly is not a 'garage queen' or show 'n shine vehicle, but instead gets used as it should. On the few occasions it goes to a show, it'll often be found dripping mud on the showground instead of carnuba wax! :lol:

My 2001 (ok not a classic yet, but certainly not looking her age) Peugeot 307 1.4 3 dr which my wife and I have owned since it was 6 months old. I do all my own mechanical work and valeting / detailing.

A few stone chips on the bonnet but generally in pretty good condition...

The nasty wheel trims will soon be replaced by a set of genuine Peugeot speedline alloys

94,000 miles and still going strong. :)

Compared to much of the content of this thread, neither of my cars look particularly cherished, but I assure you that they are. The HL is battered, but always clean and is my everyday regular use car.

The HLS is a relatively new arrival, but already shows very promising signs of being a very attractive thing once I've got everything sorted out. Really, not bad for a 145,000 miles motor that's been off the road for 16 years.

Here is my 1979 Princess2 2000HL. Imported from the UK many years ago so rust free. After 1985 as it has AA Relay stickers on back window.

AA Relay was introduced in October of 1973 so the stickers could well have been there from when the car (very pretty by the way) was new. :)

I live in Sydney Australia near Penrith west of the city. I have had the Princess for 6 years. I was mistaken about the start time for AA Relay. Now I feel the car may have been exported when fairly new by a family who decided to live in Australia. Why not! You can drive all year round even in winter. Hardly ever gets to freezing point but summers get very hot and would take a bit of getting used too. There are about 6 wedges here Australia wide including one Wolseley version. They were never sold here as they would have competed with the Australian built cars.
