Early 1980's started off road motorbikes Suzuki TS125ERZ trailbike which I had til about 3 years ago, its being used on a farm down in Wales now, really heavy but good solid bike with deltacross nobbly tyres and monoshock suspension, Yamaha YZ50 bought it off a mate and it died soon after !
Yamaha DT125 American Import first road bike on L plates 16 years old, within two days I'd flown headfirst through the back of a Sierra windscreen ! Was more worried about the bike, My Mum was really pleased when it got nicked...I was gutted.
Late 80's first car was lucky to get my hands on an Orion 1600 i Ghia in metallic light blue, sunroof, was an auto with great kickdown, unfortunately lent it to a so called mate who mashed it up in an accident with a tree ! Constantly getting stopped by the fuzz, did smoke a lot of dope in that car though ! Rave On ! Madchester
Early 90's my grandfathers car which me and my brother shared when we were students it was an Orange Volvo 340 again Auto (with cruise control) and a choke ! Was on a CVT sounded like a rubber band about to snap, was out on a date and the young lady said, will you please change gear ! Street cred zero !
The orange beast broke down on the way to London, cylinder head melted, after a mental time at Glastonbury festival....only car Ive ever had to pay to have scrapped !
Maroon 1.1 fiesta good little runaround car, always needed welding though, had a couple of very near death experiences in that one !
Vauxhall Astra 1.4 i white...can still remember when I got that felt amazing after the fiesta, another that had to be scrapped, was gutted !
Moved on to Saabs
Classic 900 white three door...great looking car
9-3 red that one got nicked and I got it back, was used in a clothing robbery, one t shirt still in wrapper in the boot, Salford gangs were big into Saabs back then
because of the big boots and reasonably quick, werent supposed to be that easy to nick, they drilled all the locks, anyway got it back but was never the same
