The MaxiDave Collection

No point in having them if you cant show them off I guess.

Ive been collecting & restoring retro and performance cars for 10-12 years
now, slowly trading and working my way to more rare, expensive
cars along the way.

Here are some of the better cars in the current collection.

Small Turbo Escort Cosworth.

Amazing collection! Especially love the G60, Cosworth, and the mk1 Golf.
 
Escort Cossie been a favourite of mine since day one, Maxi looks awesome and the Golf Mk5 must pull like stink.......

Nice looking collection of metal.
 
Cheers for the nice comments all.

The Cossie is not the nicest car to drive, everything feels heavy,
Steering, clutch, gears. The standard gear change is like stirring
Soup. Not major fast in standard form either.

On the other hand, the 'Grale feels 20 years more modern,
Very easy drive, very comfy, covers ground at phenomenal
Pace & soaks up bumps and dips like nothing I ever drove.

You could drive the Grale for 2 hours, get out and do a days work.
If you drove the Cossie for 2 hours, you would need to sleep for
A week.

The Mk5 is just mental, the torque is unreal, you could drive
A very twisty road and never change out of 6th.
 
Awesome! Love a vee! Would love to own one as a weekend toy but can't see that happening anytime soon :worried:
