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.

I've still got the beige Princess posted earlier in the thread, but she's waiting for surgery after a lot of rust was found on the last MoT. The red Princess has been sold to a new owner. Daily duties have been taken over by a Citroen Xantia, perhaps a little new to be a classic but still a respectable 17 years old.

Joining me next year is my little 39 year old Renault 6TL, bought for £80 from a field in Wales and still residing in Wales at present but not in a field.

Welcome to the forum :) You have a very pretty toy. Is she hibernating for the winter or are you out enjoying the odd sunny days we have?
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

That's a very fine specimen by the look of it. Liking the black DS too. And the caravan. Welcome to the forum, your collection is most impressive.
