Looks as though im jumping on this thread a bit late now, but here goes..

 

Im now 26. Car History as follows..

 

17-18, Y reg Mini Mayfair.

18-19, G reg Citroen AXGT

19-21, G reg Astra GTE 16v

21-23, H reg Corrado 16v

23-now, N reg Corrado VR6

25-now M reg Citroen Xantia TD

 

The Astra was great fun at only 19, and suprisingly cheap to insure. Used to beat all my mates cars!!! The Xantia is my daily driver, as i have to commute from Southampton to Newbury every day. My main reason for buying it. Didn't want to rack up the miles on the VR, plus the Xantia costs next to nothing to run...

I’m 25 and getting older by the day. :shock:

 

Cars I have owned are as follows :

 

Aged 17, a Bright yellow Metro. 1ltr totally standard with a rust hole so big you could see the engine through the driver’s side wing. But at least I was driving. I had a te-shirt made that said “you only have to look at it – I have to drive it” with a big photo of my pride and joy. 8)

 

Aged 19, Dull Green Volvo 430GLE Saloon – 1.7ltr fitted with Cherry Bomb exhaust, which was custom fitted by the way - there isn’t on for the 340 oddly enough!!! :lol:

 

Aged 20, Gun Metal Grey BMW 320i. Stainless Exhaust, TSW Alloys and K&N 57i induction kit. Looked and drove like a dream – wish I never sold her but she was getting on a bit and her reliability couldn’t be relied upon! I managed to get through 3 Air Flow Meters in the time I owned her, which was weird. :roll:

 

Aged 23, Metallic Blue Vauxhall Vectra, 1.6 Special Edition. My attempt at growing up, it failed and the faze lasted about a year. :oops:

 

Aged 24, Metallic Green Mitsubishi Gallant 2.5 V624. Totally standard, was seriously fast. Don’t ever underestimate this car at the lights. It’s normally driven by pensioners but will whip your ass if they lend it to their grandson. 8)

 

Aged 25, Silver VW Corrado 2ltr 8 Valve. Best car to date, cheep to ensure, cheep to run, fun to drive, turns heads and corners like its on rails. Might not be as fast as its sisters but suits my needs perfectly…...come on I managed to justify it to the missus when she said I have to have a practical car and made me sell my Mitsi……

:mrgreen:
