Cars

I like cars, specially singular ones. I enjoy driving them.

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:

Pontiac

As a present my wife made me on my birthday, I drove a Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am:

That was a V8 5.6L Trans-Am.

Gustavo's Land Rover Santana

Next year she made me another drive-a-singular-car present: an off-road ride on a Land Rover Santana over the Collserola nature park:

The owner of the car is Gustavo, a member of Club Històrics.

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 Autofernández Vilafranca and the comfort modifications were made by 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.
