THEN.. *sniggers*... It was approaching Summer (well, it actually wasn't... I brought it in March of 2006) a J Reg 1.6 JLX Vitara Fatboy. It had to be done really! Granted.. looking back I must have looked like a girl.. but me and the crew had soo many awsome weekends away.. just brilliant.

(winter was drawing near... and the tyres were on their way out.. (I'd of been damned if I was going to pay for them, they're huge!!))

Sept '06 I picked myself up (after three weeks on a push bike...) and brought myself a R Reg A3 1.8 Sport. Love it.

I'm in dier(sp) need of the Turbo now I think (for a reasonable price..) although, the A3's coming out of the Garage tomorrow after having a cambelt change, new discs & pads, x-amount of new sensors etc.. soo... I'd better keep her for a while yet and wait for something to pop up..

oh, and I'm 20. DOB 02/03/87. (20 last month..)

Keep the thread going guys.. It's a good one!

i'm 27

started off when i passed my test at 21 with a Fiat Punto 1.6 8v sporting. was totally standard but the moddin bug got me straight away. ended up having it about 16months

IMG_0180.jpg


Still loving my punto i moved on to my 1st Turbod car. a 97 Rosso red Punto GT turbo. came standard 136bhp but some mods, chip, FMIC, turbo back exhaust, decat took it to 180bhp. god i miss that car.

IMGP0030.jpg


i sold the Punto GT 18months later for £500 more than i bought it for. :eyebrows:

Then moved away from the italian scene to my 1st Vag car. mk3 Ibiza cupra 20vt. bought it totally standar, which lasted a month then began to mod it. REVO, Coilovers, Blue flame exhaust, balck wheels. then it got wrote off when i went through a rather deep puddle :lmfao:

here it was when i bought it

IMGP0262.jpg


and after the modding

DSC00297.jpg



After some tough negotiations with royal sun alliance i got a rather healthy payout, coupled with the money from the parts i sold i had a very healy sum from wich to step upwards to the s3 i currently have

here it is. totally standard. For now:)

Another oldie here 37 years OLD (KIDS do that). Owned R5 GT Turbo when some of you where in nappies still. Then as follows:-
R21 Turbo
R Megane (Wife learning to drive)
Citreon Saxo VTR
VW Bora (Kids started)
A3 1.8T Quattro (Got my own way again!!!)
 
this is not a good list but ends on a happy note:

Vauxhall Nova 1.2 4dr DELUXE (17yrs old) - Oh yes and it was the saloon model! (died at 52,000 miles when i placed it meticously in the back of at the time the first new Volvo X70 Estate on stilts which was driven by the volvo UK Director of Insurance- it was a quick claim!)

Fiesta 1.4 16v Si 3dr (18yrs old) (died at 42,000 miles when i was going at 30mph the right way down a one way street and another Si came round the corner very quick with a Police car behind and it went straight into me!)

Vauxhall Astra Mk4 1.6 16v 5dr Hatch (20yrs old) (it didn't die in my hands as such but the ECU failed and by which time i had done 116,000 miles in it and the insurance company wrote it off)

Ford Focus Zetec 1.8 (23yrs old) (Fantastic car, amazing handling, but i suspect the fact it need the rear blade suspension thingy replacing twice and a new gear box when it left my ownership after 98,000 miles that perhaps i was a tad too aggresive!)

Volvo - not good - S40 - even worse - 2.0 Diesel - (26yrs old) uhm, i have no excuses left this was by far the most toy packed luxury car i have ever owned, in built phone, heated leather, electric everything, great ride quality, xenons, cruise, etc etc.... but i hated it, it had no soul and no life and sucked the life out of me and then one day i was driving by Listers Audi in Northampton and....

Audi A4 1.8T Quattro 190ps (now 225bhp) (27yrs old) and i love it! it costs me a ****** fortune to run, i have had so much grief from it, its had new suspension, new CD player, gear gaiter covers, new ECU to name but a few but when the heavens open and the rain is pouring i can venture down the backroads and everything is forgiven, it has no toys, no leather, windy windows at the back it is just pure and simply a four wheel drive chassis with a steering wheel and an engine, absolutely brilliant!
:icon_thumright:
 
Corsa 1.4 8v whooping 59bhp
Honda Delsol 1.6 VTI 180bhp
Audi a3 1.9 tdi cranking 140bhp
Next? prob new audi a3 in a years time

Well said Buckas, yeah a few lists up there make me feel happy about my rubbish list! ;)

As for a new S3, have you seen the side skirts (sorry if i lack the technical know how! :( ) You like that look? nice car, quick, but what happened when they got to the side skirts..

'ah we have these, lets bolt them on.. yarr done!'

Sorry :bye:
