[egesford]

nice to see its not just me who changes cars every 5 mins

 

[VAG-Slag]

jesus, that is a hell of a lot of cars! Lurrrrrrrrrv the R32 mate, best shape skyline by far!

My first car was this Polo (Polly) 16vSE... low and load cheap thrills! Drove everywhere at a million miles an hour and at about the same amount of decibels. You know, it's“cool” when you're that age

Mysecond car was this A3 1.8T:

spet so much time/money getting it to the spec I wanted. Full stage 2'd, best OEM spec interior and best colour IMO. Drove amazingly well and I'd swap my current S3 back for this in a heat beat... unfortunatelyI did this to it:

So I broke it down, sold it for parts and with the cash brought this retro little piece:

Wasan awsome little car, sold it to my mate who had the boost lowered by 2 psi and it still made 186bhp on the rollers... proper fun little motor, shame it was french, was bound to surrender to some sort of horrible failure at some point. I then brought a boring 318 compact for work and some how managed to loose my license speeding in it :-(

But now I'm back in the VAG game with my S3! . . only problem being it's currently on the other side of the world to me, can't wait to comeback in the spring and have a play!

 

[16Klappe]

I've had a couple of cars. I've been driving since I was younger than 8 in one way or another, so including the lists of cars I had to banger race ad drive round fields this list would be three x it's length. This is what I've had on the road.

I'll try and do them in order, I haven't got any pictures of the first 20 or so cars I owned because I lost them all when my Mac ate its HD.

Ford 100e (still own)
Mk1 Fiesta

Saab 99, this was THE BEST car I've ever owned. Honestly, I would do anything to get it back

Jaguar XJ6 Mk1

Saab 95

Jaguar XJS V12

BMW 850IL V12

Austin Allegro SS

Rover 2000TC

Rover 2200TC

Series 2 Land Rover (with a Nissan straight 6 diesel in it)

Rover 2200TC (which had the diesel engine out of the land rover in it on a rover v8 gearbox)

Saab 900 Turbo 16

Saab 900 Carlsson

LOVED that car. Here's me riding gangster in the Carlsson haha

Audi 80 V6 Sport Avant

Saab 900 Turbo


Saab 95

Rover Tomcat Coupe

 

[16Klappe]

had to make two posts because I had too many pictures...


Saab 900 Turbo

Saab 99

3.9 EFI V8 Manual Discovery

Passat 20VT Sport

Mk2 Golf GTI

Saab 95 Estate (swaped the golf for this, lol!)

Then luck of the draw found the guy who originally owned that Saab 95 new wanted to buy it back, but I wouldn't sell it to him. I swappe tit with him for this Saab 96 souvenir which was valued by insurance companies the year before at 9500 quid! I sold it two months later for a monumental profit.

Then I bought my Audi Coupe -

Then came the reign of the 205...Bilsteins, full group N mounts etc, was AMAZING.

A simple car for people who like to drive.

I'm sure this will stir some memories for some of you guys -

The day Prawn and I picked him up -

The day I ran out of talent -

Then I had a fair old time when I didn't have a proper car Was getting the train to Plymouth to see her indoors, using my 100e to drive to work and back and cycling everywhere. I moved down to Plymouth and drove my girlfriends A3 for a while because I had an any car policy.

Then my friend moved to South Africa and gave me her MICRA!!!

Had the Micra for two months, it failed it's MOT and I bought a 1.6 Corsa Sport.

Got fed up with that and bought this -

Sold the Passat and got all boy racer...But it was a brilliant car!

I spaced it 20mm all round and decked it, I really enjoyed it and it was a proper go kart

I swapped that for the most immaculate Scirocco in the world, one owner, FVWS, MINT!

 

[16Klappe]

on top of that list I've also had but have no pictures of, a couple of Mk2 escorts, two mk1 Granadas and a Mk3 consul, two mk2 granadas, a Mk2 and a Mk3 Capri, two MGB's and a Hillman hunter.

I drove the first one down a HUGE bank and rolled it a couple of times, then we scrapped it. And the second one was a right shed, my old boss was asked to store it for somebody and the owner died, family said we could keep the car so I MOT'd it and sold it to clear some of my bar tab
