    I have a Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo heavily modified running Methanol mixes to go with my Mk2 Gti 16vG60 (home built not a Limited unfortunately!).

    To be honest cars have had a fair few years on the back burner now while my children are growing up (more important things to do).

    Just finished my lads Honda MT-5 but he's got a year and a half left before he can ride it on the road, going to be a long wait for him!.

    The UK one is heavily restricted so we might have to tweak it a fair bit.

    Had an MT-5 myself for my first bike, did about 40mph iirc, my mates DT50 used to leave it for dead!.

    Work in progress a while back, we built wiring loom from scratch. Rebuilt engine and have managed to find a decent back wheel for it recently.

    Speaking of these toy's I still have a motorbike after all these years,bit of a classic and stole it off a collector who was downsizing his huge collection,he said it won't run and the parts are rocking horse poo but having owned a Spanish bike previously I knew parts were around.
    Its a 1980 Montesa Cota 357,basically a tidy bike and I got it running in the second day of ownership after sorting Amal carb and cleaning expansion chamber etc.
    Have since rebuilt the brakes,front forks and resealed leak @ gearbox,fitted NOS rear shocks and more,I found a guy on ebay that bought a huge amount of original spares from the factory that Honda got rid off sometime after they bought the company in 1982.
    I was surprised to find how well it ran but found it had low hours and had a top end rebuild before the last owner bought it.
    As there is no class for riding vintage trials bikes in my country so it has little interest but there is what is called "twin shock" up to 1980 class so plan is to modify to that class ,should be a fun ride.
