 +===== Fiat 500 1.4 =====
 +
 +The Fiat 500 is my usual car. This is one of the few 500 built with a 1.4 L 100 HP petrol engine, which is the base for the Abarth 500. Almost all the 500 cars were built with a 3-cylinder petrol engine or 4-cylinder diesel engines. All of them with fewer HPs.

 +===== Mercury V8 =====
 +
 +On my holidays in 2012 I visited my friend Hugo at his house on the beach and I spent few days there. His neighbour had parked a stunning Mercury on the street and let us have a ride on it. That was a great car with hundreds of horsepowers and a very good looking state:

 +===== Our Land Rover Santana 109 6 cylinder =====
 +
 +I enjoyed so much that experience I bought a Land Rover Santana for my wife and me. That is the **LR Santana 109 6 cylinders**.
 +
 +This car is powered by a diesel 6 in-line cylinder 3.5L engine. We bought it really cheap and we have been improving it by replacing the 4 speed gear box with a 5 speed one and adding a power steering. 
 +
 +We also have been isolating the cabin and added a sofa-bed, a diesel heating system, a second battery and a fridge. The mechanical improvements were done by [[https://www.autofernandez.es/|Autofernández Vilafranca]] and the comfort modifications were made by [[https://bivaccamper.com/|Bivac Camper]].
 +
 +Some initial modifications like the installation of a pair of running boards and a steel bumper, the skeleton for the cupboards and the adaptation for the sofa-bed were made by our friend and blacksmith Albert Prat.
