Thought I would record the cars I have owned and sometimes loved over the period of my life..

Yes I am a petrol Head, yes we name all our cars..I will start from the 3 I have now and then work backwards to recent let goes to the beginning and the first car I owned..

I am looking to get a G55 Mercedes to cart guitars around, and a 997 GT3 RS to replace sooty my 997s..

Hope you enjoy..

Love to see some of you own strange journeys..

Current 3 are

1996 Porsche 993 C4s - a classic and a garage queen..We call him Wombat for his ample rear.. Image
