Current car: Renaultsport 200 - 3Dr

Just Ordered: Golf GTI 2.0 TSI - 3Dr

 

Previous: Cooper S, Cooper (Old version)

Starting when I passesd my test :

 

Renault 9 1.4 - mums car, I crashed it into a tree.

Citroen AX 1.4 - mums car again, fast little bugger though.

Rover 414 SLi - mums car again, head gasket went suprisingly...

Citroen Saxo VTR - my 1st car, good fun but rattly and head gasket went on this too.

Astra SXI 1.7D - Suprisingly ok to drive

BMW 323 Coupe - Great engine, classy interior.

BMW 325 Sport - Even better engine and looked the part.

Lexus RX300 SEL - Only for a while as it was the ex missus, fantastic build quality and luxury.

Civic TypeR Nav - Still got it, brilliant engine and best looking hot hatch around inside and out IMO. Zero suspension travel means zero ride comfort though.

Ford capri 2.0 Ghia

Ford Granada 2.0

Ford Escort 1600

Some old tank that I had a week before the cylinder head gasket went. Can't even remember the make, never mind the model.

Toyota Camry (Got rid of it because I couldn't drive through town without someone trying to beckon me over for a ride home . . . taxi driver indeed!)

Rover 400 series

Rover 75

 

As you can see, petrol head? No. Sensible family car driver? Oh yes.

Will do. A car gets me to work and back plus the shops a couple of times a week. You don't really need more than 1275cc.

13 posts into this thread and Idoitwind hasn't posted that he has an Audi TT yet, what is going on?

1972 Beetle

Ford Fiesta

Rover 214

Renault Clio

Mini

 

I can even remember all of my registration numbers. I'm such a geek.

Not mine I'm afraid. Saw this sky blue missile flying around our industrial estate after hours a couple of nights ago. Turns out to be a twin turboed E type heavily modified for salt lake racing in South Australia.

 

Shame to fcuk about with these. The only car I have ever wanted (I'd even overlook my dislike for green for one in British Racing Green)

 

 

Too many to list all,but my last 5 cars starting with current 1st

 

06 VW Bora 1.9Tdi 130 Highline

55 Astra 1.6 Sxi

1972 Beetle

 

What colour was your Beetle bonnet?

Jesus, check out Diouffy's new wheels

 

Classy!

 

 

deary me..

 

but you would if you could..

mate of mine did his beetle up

 

it was pretty unique at the time

 

was done in cadbury blue/purple

 

was lowered and steering was beyond keen

 

it was like being on that mad mouse effort at blackpool

I remember my first car with affection, just like my first shag. You never forget.

She was black, dirty and was covered in bruises. She was a Mini Metro.

 

Best car I ever had was/is my Audi, most fun was Citroen AX GT and worst was a Lancia. A real Friday car that cut out in the rain.

 

And the dry.

I thought it was the chrome one he'd had for yonks. This was in today's paper. It is the Mail though, so it could be old news.
