The dog goes berserk if he hears the Vamos start and he’s not in it. As shown in the photo, he’ll sit in it for hours, in the hope a ride will occur.

I'm friends with the buyer of that very one, if you're talking about that 1975 Doka that sold for $220k!

Apart from my 1993 Mitsubishi Delica Star Wagon with Reimo pop top, here are some of my other cars. We own 7 cars, 3 motorcycles, and one rare moped. We used to own more but really had to downsize due to lack of storage space, along with having to spend money on car storage all around town. Here are some of the cool ones:
2000 Honda Civic Si. My first car I bought on my own. I bought it from my brother in 2003 (he was the original owner who bought it brand new in 2000). Still own it today. These are super rare in the sense that the EM1 Civic Si was only sold in 1999 and 2000 with the iconic B16A2 engine and only available in blue, red, and black. Most were left to die by the way of young kids modding the hell out of them, or crashing them. It's a surprisingly fun car to drive and handles quite well.
My 1988 BMW M5. A childhood dream car of mine. Only 1,340 produced for the North American market and 2,241 worldwide. Ultra rare. It's awaiting a Euro bumper conversion - it took 7 months and $7,200 worth of parts to source these parts alone. Here it is in it's ugly US DOT bumper state, before all the Euro parts make it look how it was supposed to be from Germany:
My 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300D (Turbodiesel) with only 28,000 original miles. I'm the second owner. Incredible find through an estate sale word of mouth. It's an absolute time capsule. Also awaiting Euro headlight conversion and Euro headlight wiper conversion:
Somewhat of a rare car in the USA. My 2015 Mercedes E250 Turbodiesel (and my husband's electric 2015 BMW i3 in the background, not rare). This car has an EPA rated 45 MPG with a 21.1 gallon tank, yielding 949 miles of range on one tank. 4-cylinder 2.1 liter diesel engine. Super fuel efficient and very comfy.
My red 1971 Honda Z50A and green 1971 Honda CT70H with rare 4-speed manual transmission with clutch (most CT70s in this era had the 3-speed semi-auto clutchless transmission):
I also have a 1970 Honda CT90 (yellow) and a 1966 Honda P50 moped... I'll post pictures of those when I can.
As you can see, I like to collect "shitboxes"

1973/74 Porsche 914 2.0L. Not pictured is my '88 Land Cruiser BJ70 (who recently betrayed me for the third winter, causing me to pull the trigger on the Delica).

Mitsubishi L200 here, same engine as in the Delica, but oomph-ing 116 hp (and 280 Nm!) output thanks to a VNT, intercooler plus electronically governed injection pump. Technically my wive's ride (it's her in the picture), but she refuses to drive it. The cabin is easily detachable (and to pickup again) to provide a local shelter where we are roaming around in the car.
Cheers and greetings from Munich!

Which VNT (Variable Nozzle Geometry Turbo) do you have?

Hi,
it's only the stock Mitsubishi unit, known for poor volumetric efficiency at higher rpms, but way better than all the wastegate-turbos in the weaker versions of the 4d56. Like most of the VNTs of its generation, however, it suffers from a sticky nozzle mechanism when worn out.
As far as I'm informed, Mitsubishi used this setup only with the electronically governed version of the Bosch distributor-ip. They called it "stage III" and threw it into the Pajero Classic and the L200.
It is really great fun to drive, but notorious for a certain unrealibility caused by turbo AND/OR injection pump faults. Ours had both at the same time and I carried 4000 Euros to the workshop to have it sorted.

I've always wanted to drive my Porsche 914 under a moving trailer like in the Hardcastle & McCormick opening sequence, but I don't want to die just yet. I love this shot.The Daily (in good weather). Suzuki Cappuccino.

Thanks. I highly recommend doing so. Just make sure its stationary first.
