DPS 10 Posted April 26, 2014 I feel embarrassed to have only personally owned four cars! But I really love seeing the old photos^^^ it's amazing how many Corrados some people had owned and they keep coming back for more! A 1.1i Saxo was my first car and oh did I love it. It was so reliable and I part-exchanged it at over 130k miles (110k were mine) it never once had a problem and drove me all over the country. It was the first expensive thing I ever owned since moving out of my Mums and when i went through some rough times it was all I owned in the world. Funny how a cruddy little car can make you happy. After that I had a Toyota Yaris and Toyota Corrolla Then the VR6 (my dream car) my mum had three Golf cabriolets when I was a kid she still has a K-reg Ravagé. My brother has always collected Bugs, MK1&2 Golfs and Polos and Caddys so I think my family has always had a VW obsession. I have regularly driven my current and previous partners vehicles (a Subaru Impreza, LR discovery, various fiestas, escorts, Audis) The husbands car is a Merc C class.

unomatt 10 Posted June 5, 2014 My list, kind've lost the order in the middle, and think I'm missing one... 1. Daewoo Nexia- Drove it into a river- woops! 2. Mk3 Ford Fiesta 1.0! 3. Fiat Uno 1.0- absolute beast! First car I spent cash on- lowered and alloys-loved it but was slow! 4. Peugeot 306 XTDT- My first car with electric windows! Loved it but it was, tbf, a bit of a dog-engine mounts snapped when changing a glow plug! 5. Honda Prelude 2.3 4WS- loved thi stoo! Wanted one for ages 6. Peugeot 306 SLDT- needed economy for my job 7. Honda Prelude 2.3 again- same one! 8. Rover 216- bought after I drove into some muppet who cut me up. 9. Triumph TR7 convertible- fancied an older car- adored it for about a month then realised I couldn't look after it properly- my dad currently has it. 10. Honda Prelude 2.2VTi- rekindled my affair with preludes-bit of a disappointment 11. Ford Focus 1.6 LX- Needed a little bit of economy- dull!!! 12. Toyota MR2 T-bar- bought off a friend after it had been laid up for a year, nice car but always seemed slow, traded in for 13. Audi A3 T-Sport- brilliant car, adored it in gun metal grey but had to sell to pay for a funeral 14. Vauxhall Astra 2.2 bertone coupe- lovely car but a bit...bland 15. Mitsubishi FTO- my only auto, not a gearbox suited to that car, could do 80 in 2nd! 16. Audi 80 coupe 2.0 16v- red, nice car but dam it was loud!! Couldn't afford a full new exhaust, would have another. 17. Saab 900- Needed a cheap run around- absolute tank! 18. Honda accord aerodeck- brilliant little retro car, rare again but the electrics killed it :( 19. VW Scirocco GT- Bit of a dog but I fancied something to play with- great idea till I drove it, for some reason it gave me chronic back ache. 20. Volvo C70 T5- Big comfy barge, flew if you revved it but drank the petrol. 21. Audi A4 3.0 quattro- loved it, can't remember why I sold it, wish I hadn't! 22. Saab 9-3 turbo- only 150bhp, nice car actually but then saw this 23. Aqua blue Corrado 16v- really wanted a VR6 but saw this for a good price so got it. 24. Seat Toledo 1.9TDi- Corrado let me down so sold it on and bought this as a stop gap- it stank! Door seals leaked badly! 25. Seat Leon Cupra- Lovely car, regret getting rid in many ways but never got it running right. 26. Fiat Punto 1.2- was moving in with the girlfriend so needed to release funds- sold the Leon and got this-also a dog, but very cheap!! 27. Peugeot 309 GTi- Wanted one since I was tiny!! Got it, loved it, sold it when I moved house and we decided we didnt need/have space for it. If I had known I was buying a house a few months down the line I would have kept it-rare as hens teeth. 28. Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi- The modern daily, bland but 60+ mpg (Had 80mpg once!!) 29. Toyota MR2- bought as a running project but then... 30. Aqua blue Corrado 16v- same one as before! Came up for sale and had to have it back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j_s14a 0 Posted June 7, 2014 A few of my previous cars Oak Green MK2 Golf GTi 8v Jaguar X300 XJR6. 4.0 supercharged straight 6, picked up at auction for £350 with tax and mot! Corrado VR6 Corrado 2.0 16v S13 200SX S14a 200sx Toyota Supra non turbo 6 speed SZ-R + BBS LM wheels My two turbo Supras The nearest one had a big aftermarket turbo and 500hp. 6 speed manual, loads of chassis work, a race car for the road. The rear one was a 450hp auto, and was a very rapid grand tourer. Seductive 5 cylinder turbo engine note, 300hp and 4wd. Full leather and air con. If the boot was a bit bigger, and it was better on fuel, it would have been the perfect car. BMW E39 530D Great car, and good at everything. Just a bit too sensible, hence my return to the Corrado fold. :) Current cars Mk1 Golf GTi 'Hatty', my summer car Amazing car, but selling shortly due to a lack of storage space. Current Corrado VR6 Daily 16v Corrado Recaro donor car. Currently doing up to sell on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
