Now the 1.8 T-sport A3 :)

All except the fiesta got modded in some way and made faster.

First EVER mod purchased from Larkspeed in crossgates Leeds (a larkspeed sunstrip, made the nova go faster....honest)
 
1.1980 Fiesta 1.1 Sandpiper limited edition (two tone brown and gold baby!) the sound system was worth more than twice the cars value!
2.1986 Fiesta XR2. heavily modified and featured in REVs magazine.
3.Mondeo 1.8 LX.
4.Mitsubishi FTO. Own for 23 hours befor I was rear ended and it was written off.
5.Back to the Mondeo as I'd not had chance to sell it!
6.MY 1999 UK Subaru impreza. Lightly modified by TSL motorsport
7.2005 05 plate Golf GT TDI. Bought new but board me straight away. It last 10 months until I got that board I traded it back in.
8.2005 55 plate Golf GTI DSG bought 3 months old full loaded. Nice car but it needed more go. So I took it to Morego (BBR in Brackly) for a remap, Milltek back box, AP 4 pots and power grip wishbones. 250 BHP and big brakes...
Then the kids came!
9.2005 05 plate Mondeo ST TDCI estate which did a good job.
10.1989 MKII Golf GTI 8v to balance out the Mondeo.
11.2003 LCR current car/money pit.
12.2012 Polo match to replace the decaying Mondeo.

My current project, sorry it's not an Audi!

Still miss my Pugs :D
 
It all started with a classic mini cooper for me :superman:



Next on the list was a 2.0l 3sge MR2 which made it all the way to the nurburgring, did several laps and made it back without missing a beat!



I then fancied something with a turbo so along came the scooby uk turbo 2000 which had the prodrive performance pack.



I then got made redundant and the running costs and insurance cost of the scooby meant it had to go. So along came the 306 Rallye which was good fun and abused around the castle combe circuit.



New job was found and i began to search for a new car, was tempted to go for an older shaped evo or maybe another subaru however i started to look at German cars, i had already had a classic, jap and french so saw it as an opportunity to try something new. I found my s3 in Portsmouth, great condition, well priced, FSH and thats what i have to date. I find it has the perfect balance of being a smart car which you can go to work in but at the same time being something that is very tunable. It just ticked all the boxes for me, comfy, reliable, quick, good looking and good build quality compared to my previous cars.
