Hi all,

Below are a few pics of my Toyota Hilux Extra Cab which has been lifted a little to fit the 33x12.5 tyres. Its got coilovers on the front to give 4 inches of lift and is fitted with an ARB front bumper (weighs about 90kg, had to use an engine hoist to fit it).
The motorbike is a Yamaha Vmax 1700 which I have just bought brand new. Its just run in at 1000 miles so I can open it up now. Its the fastest thing I have ever been on. The bike is 200bhp and is the fastest accelerating bike out at the moment, built for the drag strip. I also got fitted from new the 240 section rear tyre, the photos don't do it justice. Its massive and looks like an animal, which it is!

I sold my Yamaha RD500 special to buy the Vmax.

Also sold my immaculate GSX1100EFE with 400miles on it to get the Sunny GTI-R (a bit of a theme going on).

A pic of my 1 ton Rapier missle trailer that took me almost a year to restore. The trailers chassis is all galvanised and the body is aluminium which has been Linex sprayed (the stuff pick up beds are sprayed with). The clever thing about this trailer is it has a retraction system that allows you to lower the suspension, ideal for transporting motorbikes.

I forgot I sold my GSXR1100WP also to get the Vmax (has less than 10000miles on it, bought from new).

Just a few pics of what I used to own.
A very clean Ford Racing Puma. The best handling car I have ever driven but just a little under powered. If it had a cosworth engine then that would be a different story!

A pic of my old Sunny GTI, I bought this cos I couldn't find a UK spec GTI-R. Funny thing is I found one 20 miles for my home and bought it. I used to have a Sunny 1.6SR before the GTI.
