be honest. If you can't walk out, get in and drive around the block it doesnt run. Don't worry if its not street legal, if the police said its okay, could you?

Two - The Fiat 124 Sedan's brake pedal is pegged to the floor (brake line has burst) and my 914 parts car is missing a few of its vital organs - As in: no suspension, motor or gearbox, etc etc.
Thankfully you didn't instead ask how many cars and motorcycles we've had over the years, running or not running... *shivers* (starting to count)

Two - 914 is still up on stands and I haven't had the time to do anymore to it. Probablywon't until after Christmas.
My MINI has been out of service for almost three weeks and I'm now waiting for the 'field service engineer(s)' to be dispatched (brake problems).
At least the MINI is under warranty and I have a loaner car from the dealership.

Well, that teaches me to respond to a poll after only reading the titel of a thread. I thought it was asking how many cars do you own, not how many arn'tworking. :-)

An 1987 Nissan Pulsar. It is in the process of an engine transplant. I took out the 1.6L DOHC CA16DE engine and replaced it with a 2.0 SR20DET from a Japanese spec Nissan Pulsar GTiR rally car. 245HP in a front wheel drive car...
I have to finish the computer wiring and install the power steering pump.
