Were they made out of bits of old planes because Jerry was not aloud to make flying machines?

I don't think they were actually built from planes, but yes the company was not able to build aircraft.
Would be cool if I still had it, would do 60 mph, so ok for a modern moterway, would do 70+ miles to the gallon, so ok for the modern petrol pump, trouble is, much too expensive these days, seen one at auction for 30k

Car's i've owned is a very very short list.

Just the one in fact...

1992 Saab 900 Turbo.
Bought standard, comprehensively modified over the next six years.
Ended up with over 260bhp, 280lb/ft. All thanks to larger turbo, FMIC, different head, intake, 3inch exhaust, ECU, Fuel system. Obviously brakes were upgraded, Bilsteins fitted and the interior changed slightly as well.
Sold it in October, ready to be replaced with a VXT.

Here it is when i bought it


And a couple of pics of what it became



Ready for a trip to LeMans


And as it was when i sold it


Hopefully the VXT will live up to its reputation as a replacement.

Thanks to my job as a motoring journalist, i've had the opportunity to drive lots more cars than the above though (including Vauxhall's heritage VX's before making the decision to buy one). The benefit being all of the enjoyment, with none of the costs.

I've had loads, but the memorable ones are. Toyota Corolla GT coupe, the rear wheel drive one, wish I still had that. Nissan Sunny Pulsar import, in its day, wow!! A few MR2s, mainly mark ones. Peugeot 205 Gti 1.9cc, great car. A mint Scirocco that had been garaged all its life, wish I still had that. 3x VX220s, one turbo, two NAs. A 996 for a short time, it broke. A really mad mid engined polo cpe, 346bhp and weighing 825kg, nitrous took it close to 400bhp. Was built by Iain Birch. Loads of bikes over the years, fave was the 1200 bandit with naughty exhaust. More recently a Renault Spider. At the moment I am without a toy.

It was my flatmate's (and Landlord's) from when i live in London.
Six pot auto, and slower than the Saab, but a lovely (it a little neglected) thing.
