Louie Lungbubble 0 Posted July 14, 2005 God, am I really about to admit to these...? X reg 1.0 Daihatsu Charade (free from brother) : Blew engine up. X reg Mk5 1.6 Cortina : Suffered MOT death. C reg Mk2 1.8 Cavalier SRi (way faster than my C) : Nicked and burnt out :mad2: X reg Mk5 2.0 Cortina (stopgap car) : Ended up selling to a mate for demolition derby! C reg Mk2 Astra 1.6 SR (had that for 7 years) : Bumped it and killed it. J reg Mk3 1.6 Cav (No, I'm not proud of it ) : Got shut of that, then went and found meself a decent motor! Think the Corrado's been the only car I've ever had worth washing! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jedi-knight83 0 Posted July 14, 2005 see signature. what it doesnt say is my first car was a pug 305 1.4. i nicknamed it the boat due to the time it took to stop once i threw out the anchor and the way it pitched and rolled when i so much as even thought about turning a corner!

DEL VR6 0 Posted July 14, 2005 ive had a shitty 996cc nissan micra, a host of beetles and the likes, and golf gti and a 16v corrado. without a doubt the VR is the best car i've ever owned for driving pleasure. although i always look back on the GTi as a great car to have owned.

Slangwerks 0 Posted July 14, 2005 I stepped up from a Golf MK2 driver to a Golf MK2 GTI 8v, to a Golf MK2 GTI 8v.. anyone noticing a trend emerging? Looks like i'll be stepping down into a Fiesta Zetec for a few months, but like Mr T says, you gotta have a setback before you can have a comeback!!

gradeAfailure 0 Posted July 14, 2005 None of them are really huge jumps, but seeing as we're now listing all of 'em... ;) Vauxhall Nova 1.0 -> Fiat Uno Turbo -> Mk3 Escort XR3i -> Fiat Uno Turbo -> Seat Ibiza 1.5 -> MG Metro -> Peugeot 405 SRi -> Citroen ZX Volcane -> Citroen ZX Volcane -> VW Passat 2.0 8V GL The Fiats were basically tissue boxes with windmills on the engines but were a hoot to drive, the 'scort had a Cherry Bomb tailpipe on it that you could hear half a mile away (and got stolen from outside my house without me noticing :oops:), the Pug was white and basically a taxi, and the two ZXs were a hell of a lot better than they had any right to be - in fact, if the headroom wasn't so poor in them then I'd be driving a ZX 16V now most likely as the later ones had 167bhp as standard! Nice... But then I wouldn't be here, and know all you fine people...! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trig 0 Posted July 15, 2005 hmmm... I used to have a 2CV, bet none of your cars are slower than that little puppy. My Jetta was pretty damn slow as well... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 15, 2005 the 'scort had a Cherry Bomb tailpipe on it that you could hear half a mile away I was just wondering how you could remember Cherry Bombs as I thought you were about 18 when I met you at inters, but looking at your Avatar you're older than I thought.... but that's a good thing :wink: I had a bomb on my Allegro....actually, no it was a Peco "Big Bore 2" back box, LOL!

gradeAfailure 0 Posted July 15, 2005 Was the Uno turbo quick? It felt quicker than it was! But it had the aerodynamic properties of a biscuit tin... ;) I'd have one again as a "toy" car to mess about with! I was just wondering how you could remember Cherry Bombs as I thought you were about 18 when I met you at inters, but looking at your Avatar you're older than I thought.... but that's a good thing :wink: I had a bomb on my Allegro....actually, no it was a Peco "Big Bore 2" back box, LOL! Hahah, I've never stooped to the level of the legendary BB2...! :lol: Though one of the Unos had a full stainless Scorpion 'zorst - I did only get the 3.5" tailpipe though cos the 4" was just a bit silly... ;) And yeah, I'm a bit older than 18...! Hell, I remember when tiger stripes and 3-spokes were cool... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
