What happened to various "legendary" forum cars?

Something in another thread made me think of some cars that got passed round the forums back in the day. I was wondering what happened to them.

There was the Yugo from Hell, the MB diesel powered Miata, that free Europa.

The free Europa is being built finally last I saw.

I think svrex has it and is building it finally?

And wheeeere  is the Bat-Van?

He's at home washing his tires.

In reply to MrChaos :

Correct. I tried looking for the thread to link but got distracted.

I bought half of them

In reply to Patrick (Forum Supporter) :

Well, yeah.  But where are the other halves?

Damn!  I'm responsible for all of those!

I own the free Europa. I keep trying to kick that project into gear, and life keeps happening. 
 

I owned the Yugo from Hell. After a Challenge appearance, I sold it back to JThw8 (the original builder) with a truckload of parts. He started rebuilding it  right, but didn't finish. He sold it as an unfinished project outside of the GRM family. 
 

I owned the diesel Miata for a while too.  Never did anything with it. Sold it to a guy who wanted to pull the engine out and use the Miata shell. 

I thought you meant the trifecta (e36, Jeep xj, Miata, crown vic).

If you were asking what the new trifecta is, the build thread section seems to be full of Volvos right now.

Haha. I was thinking when I saw someone post that you had the Europa that all GRM projects that seem to bounce around the forum end up with you at some point.

What happened to the Wartburg?

Wouldn't that be a quadfecta?  Or quattrofecta?

My recollection was that we could never agree on three. So our trifecta was 4 or 5 depending on how many of us you ask. 

This is such a ripe topic for a magazine article, or series of articles, or an entire issue...... Might be sad though.....

And what of the Berkeley?!

In reply to Kreb (Forum Supporter) :

I think its sitting, engineless, on somebody's back porch. SVreX. maybe?

In reply to Patrick (Forum Supporter) :

That is a damn fine shade of green

What can I say?  I have a soft spot for orphans.

What happened to the Subaru powered Ferrari?

I thought Jensenman/Curmudgeon had the Berkeley frame. I don't know where it went when he passed.

If I remember right, it got sold around a few times ant ended up as a tt/ls swap Ferrari.
