I wanted to go drifting, so I bought an MX5. I think I loved this car more than any car I’ve ever owned, and regret selling this more than any car I’ve ever sold!

I only sold it because work started sending me to the other end of the country to work, and you can’t turn up at client sites with a stripped out drift car as your daily driver and expect to be taken seriously. trust me, you can’t!

Lexus LS400

Chassis code: UCF20
Engine: 4.0l 1UZ-FE (262hp) V8
Transmission: 4-speed A340E automatic
Colour: Blue
Wheel fitment: 5×114.3

Originally bought so I can rip the engine out to fit into a Lexus IS300 body when I find one, the sheer luxury-ness of this car has now swayed me enough that the LS will be the only daily driver I’ll ever own! (I’ll only get another LS when looking for another main car.)
Everything about this car is amazing, all round heated leather seats, electric everything, and the 262hp V8 delivers loads of torque and power that will launch you towards the limited top speed of 155mph. Not bad for a 1.6 ton barge!

Engine: 3.5l 2GR-FSE (314hp) V6 Hybrid
Transmission: 8-speed AA80E automatic CVT
Colour: Silver
Wheel fitment: 5×114.3

This was the first car I ever financed, therefore the most expensive car I’ve ever owned. After owning my LS400, I wanted something ultra luxury, and the finance company wouldn’t finance the LS460 that I wanted, so once again I knee-jerked and bought the first thing I found on Autotrader.

This car was fast, and comfy, and luxurious and I loved it! But it was far to big and heavy to take on track days and I started to get that race car itch, so I knew that this would have to go. When the finance company said I could return it and re-finance, I sent it back.

I fancied a change and decided that a Japanese Import minivan costing £160 was too good a deal to pass up! Everyone laughed at me when I told them what I had, until they came for a ride that is. Then they realised that it was an awesome piece of kit!

I bought it to be a tow vehicle to take the MX5 to track days, but it quickly became my daily driver. That is until I road tripped it to Barcelona with some friends. When looking for log cabins, it unfortunately suffered catastrophic damage to the drivers side front wheel somewhere up in the Swiss alps and had to be recovered by the breakdown company. After providing me with a hire car to continue on my way, they informed me that they wouldn’t recover it back to the UK.

It’s remained in a recovery depot somewhere in France ever since. 🙁

Chassis code: BA
Engine: 1.8l BP-DE (115hp) Inline 4
Transmission: 5 speed manual
Colour: Chaste White (PT)
Wheel fitment: 4×100

This was the first car I ever owned. I bought it because I was too impatient to wait and find a Toyota MR2 I wanted, and just bought the first Japanese car that I saw at the motor auctions! Turned out to be the best decision I could have made.

This was the first car I ever took on track, at Japfest at Castle Combe. I had this car for many years, and only sold it after it developed issues after a moron mechanic fried the ECU when replacing the gearbox. It never worked right after that and I’d already moved onto another car as my daily driver.

I sold it to someone with a terrible reputation on the owners group and never actually finished getting paid for it.
