Wipe that grin off your face. I know we are all Rover freaks, but I was wondering how many of us have the autophilia spill over to other automotive arenas? I got my start in english sports cars when I was 2 months old (never stood a chance). I still have my MGB that's been in the family for 20 years. I even raced for about 10 years or so. I started to get back into it this year but damn that's a lot of work for one semi-proficant guy with no private garage. Who else has had the sickness spread?

I like everything. Muscle cars, euro stuff, even jap stuff like RX-7 and s2000s

Always wanted a Ferrari since I was a kid though - someday I'll get something with a V-12 (no, Cadillac Allante does not count).

In addition to my '72 RRC and my everyday driver tow rig, I have a replica/recreation of a 1957 Speedster. What I need next is a smaller dd like a 3-series or maybe an elise or z06.

OK... what I really need is a 2nd income for more garage space and the habit in general.

As far as vehicles go I would have to say I'm a VW guy ( currently have 3 ) that happens to own a Land Rover. Older VW's though MKI, MKII, and anything aircooled 66 and down. I used to race motocross and I still have a bike that i try to ride at least once a week. Im also into motorcycles and been putting together a custom bike for about the last 3 years as time and money allows.

My Dad and I have been starting to restore a 1960 Triumph TR3. I find myself getting sucked into the whole classic english sports car scene.

I like fooling with my Tacoma, but there's just not that same passion I get when playing with the Rover.

Porsche 928 S4's and GTS' A friend of mines dad had bought a brand new one in 87 and I got to pick it up and deliver it to him. Got hooked with Risky Business and Wierd Science too. I've only owned two (89&93) both black and both manual tranny's.

I've also owned several Jeeps including an 81 CJ-7 and many Wranglers. I hope to have the 07 JK Rubicon Unlimited in a few weeks.

Been a motor-head all my life, but fell in love with Brit designs when my dad bought one of the first TR-2's off the boat back in Fifty-something. Just sold my Morgan after 35 years of ownership. I would love to get my hands on an old TR-3 just for the fun. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Subaru Impreza for my commuter.

No, I don't rally, though if you ask everyone in my office, they'll let you know that the way I drive to work and home again should count..... ;)

I had a Ferrari I sure wouldn't waste my time getting another one. Overpriced, over rated, overly expensive to work on. And...you think Land Rovers leak oil!!!
