    Johnny Smith's New Project

    Johnny Smith's just gone up in my books! He's putting a Rover 827 engine into an old Allegro... Enter: Project Retirement Rocket...

    Project Retirement Rocket Part 1

    Project Retirement Rocket Part 2
    ____________________________
    Yup, two too many cars, but I love 'em:
    1991 Peugeot 309 - owned it for four years, currently the only runner and the daily driver... but great fun to drive! French though, so gotta treat her rough to keep her happy.
    1989 Toyota MR2 Mk1 - owned it for two years. Love it loads. Currently undergoing a suspension upgrade...
    1987 Toyota MR2 Mk1 SC - A project car that had Headgasket issues when I bought it. I've never driven it... yet...

    COST SO FAR

    £123 for the Allegro

    £150 for the Rover (which I’ll break and flog interior, wheels etc to break even)

    £300 in recovery fees
    , the recovery fees are more that the cost of both cars put together...

    Sweeet. IIRC, that Rover was sold in the US and was called a Sterling.
