Cool thread, some nice old cars there. Heres my list.
1) Bought my first car after riding a moped. A gold 1.1 mk3 fiesta. Whoop. Proper reliable, but sold it for this, which was at the time the car i've always wanted in the whole wide world. 2) Mk2 Fiesta XR2 http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/d...4/DSC_4111.jpg http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/d...4/DSC00905.jpg It was everything i wanted and more, my best car i've ever owned. I sold this on when i decided to buy something more modern. I met my current GF who had a 5 month old boy, so wanted something safer. So i got the puma. 3) Puma 1.7 VCT. I bought a full stainless decat system for it and coilovers too. http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/d..._4586Large.jpg As it had no rear seat space, after about a year i decided i wanted a 4 door and a big boot, but i also wanted to go back to the 'old skool fords' again. Think i was missing the XR2 a bit much. So i bought this: 4) Ford Sierra Saphire Cosworth replica. (2.0 twinky) http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/d..._4593Large.jpg http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/d..._4591Large.jpg It was very roomy. It had a full leather cosworth recaro interior too. Unfortunatley, it had a few problems. The biggest of all was the bodged engine loom and the rad fan wouldnt work. I decided i couldn't live with tempremental old cars any more and that it was a silly mistake to buy it, so i flogged in on after 2 weeks and got back in my trusty puma. After a few more months i decided to look for something bigger again. Could of got a mondy, but i suddenly started noticing ZS's all over the place and they really took my fancy. Not long later and i'm now the proud owner of this: 5) Mk1 MG ZS 180 Hatch http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/d..._4608Large.jpg http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/d..._4611Large.jpg While the MG has had its problems already, i've hopefully ironed a few of them out. I'm loving owning it. I still have the puma in the garage, which is currently for sale on auto trader (shameless plug) and i will be very sad to see that go, it was my pocket rocket which i love very much. And thats where i am today!! |
Heres mine in order, im not a chav, honest....

My first and second car - Citroen AX 10e, 954cc, 4 gears, 45bhp and a plastic bootlid that fell off!
Clio 1.4 RT, bit more modern but cornered on its doorhandles and ate wheelbearings for breakfast! http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/q...s64/Cars01.jpg Escort CL 1600 Zetec - had it for a month before it blew its head gasket and suffered a minor electrical fire: http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/q...4/P1030928.jpg First interesting car - Mk1 Toyota MR2. RR'd at 125bhp after 130,000 miles, I revved the nuts off it day in day out for 18 months and it was faultless. Wish I'd never sold it :( http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/q...E/c6d23e17.jpg Toyota Supra Mk3. 3.0 24v straight six turbo, all the bells and whistles and sounded amazing with a straight-through exhaust. RR'd at 240bhp. Head gasket went and I had a feeling it was going to start costing me more money, plus it only did about 18mpg! It was so much fun though... http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/q...4/822f73e8.jpg http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/q...4/888911b0.jpg ...and I swapped it for my current ZS180, fitted with cat-back exhaust and ITG filter. http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/q...0/P1050743.jpg |
