Recent ones I have seen

Toyota 4 AGE
Mitsi Evo 3
Lots of Zetecs/Duratecs
Kent X Flow
Rover V8
Cosworth YB

Love looking at what people get up too in there garages at home more than all the bufty stuff.

Anyone can rub a rag on a bit of metal, but creating a "bitsa" car is much more impressive to me
