1989 Astra GTE 16v

BM

 

1997 Escort 1.4LX -> 1997 Escort RS2000 -> 1998 Mondeo TD (at same time as RS2000 thank god) -> 2000 Vectra GSi -> 2000 Caterham 7 (at same time) -> 2001 Honda Civic Type R -> 2003 Chevrolet Corvette (still got) -> 2003 Caterham 7 x2 (still got) -> and last but not least 2004 Subaru WRX

Its been a busy 7 years

Forgot to say - fastest 0-60 car I have is my Caterham 0-60 in 3.6sec. The vette tops out around 185mph.

 

u sure u got the right thread

so the 996 appears in quite a few of our next car wishlists, why did you go the other way?

 

yep been thee done that great car about as pactical as a chocolate fire guard. Only thing I miss it was the sound if I shut my eyes I can still hear it. My sti 9 is real world a lot quicker and I can get 5 people in it. The girlfriend on the otherhand hates the scoob but loved the Porsche but shes more interseted what other people think, Im passed that now and love the scoob more and more each time I drive it






and before that

 

fark practicallity and 80110ck5 to 5 people, that was/is beautiful. Seriously, the Sti9 is quicker!?!??!?! really? stunned!

 

Up to 90 definatly and with me driving I am a night and day quicker in the scoob down my local twisties tha in the 911 a good driver maybe quicker but I cant see there would be much in it. The other thing is that on private roads when your doing anything over 120 the 911 got a bit uneasy and didnt feel stable (If I got another I would have the aero kit for sure) where as with the scoob and 10 mins of ownership I was cruising at 150 and felt secure and planted on the private test road have access to even the missus has had the scoob at over 140

 

just noticed fiss poor spelling in previous post and I cant edit now sorry to all the teachers out there.

 

i had a turbo 405 diesel had little or no power an just managed 60mph on me 4th scoob now im lovin it

 

Cars look nice Jamie. Was looking out for you at Oulton- you didn't make it?

Back on thread,
Last car STi Type RA, WRX Type RA before that, MY01 bugeye & 540i (both got nicked though, same night)

 

well I'm no Schumacher, so I guess that's the Carerra off the list.

I hope they make the skyline with the 25bhp leccy motors on each wheel. Imagine what those clever engineers could do with those to play with They'll have wheels spinning at different rates to get you 2g cornering

i'll get myself a 356 or replica at some stage instead, always my favoutire porsche

 

he 356 is a CLASS motor good choice its on my lotto win list

 

1300 Pug 106 Rallye. Think about it often. Well, every time I have a headache anyway......

 

My 1st car was a 1.2 nova, then a phase 1 R5 turbo but running 22psi on a standard turbo just doesnt work, then a Series 2, then a 4x4 cossie on greens (melted a piston), then a E36 325i (too boring) now a black classic on 19'' RSGT's! VERY HAPPY

 

2.5 v6 alfa romeo, very fast and love it now as before but fuel comsumption forces me sell it. find scooby instead of and realize scooby is the best and feel exciting when the topic on her all the time.

3 x mk 2 escorts rs 2000 (red , black, midnight blue)
1 x rs turbo custom ( c plate, mint car )
1 x xr2( 2 weeks, far too slow)
1 x xr2 turbo
1 x daihatsu charade turbo GTTI( first jap car)
1 x nissan sunny GTIR
1 x peugeot 106 1.5 diesel( i had to sell the sunny to purchase house after getting married)
1 x peugeot 106 gti ( purchased new)
1 x renault clio 172 ( purchased new)
1 x MY 99 wagon PPP, PDP, quick shift, PIAA's

i must say that the scooby is the best handling car i have had, but is very close to the sunny, but no-where near the mk 2 escort for sheer fun, but then again i am much more older now than i was when i owned the mk 2's and i dont know if i could be ar$ed with the constant breaking down now.

there's a thread like this every 2 months, i'll just mention the current and the previous one..

Current - Supra Auto

 

Eric, I didn't know fat kids could drive...

 

I'm one of a kind

 

From Focus ST170 to STi in one move.

I have the poor dealer customer service to thank as that was enough to move from a Ford to a Subaru. Hang on - aren't all garages the same?

 

My last car was an M.G. Maestro 2.0 EFI, great little motor only got rid cos she was rusting so bad, If money was no object it would have to be Aston Martin Vanquish or DB9.
Cheers
Colin

 

02 Mondeo ST220 - Good, quick and just too refined for it's own good! Drank petrol and ate front tyres in 6K, but what the hell. Let down by very poor Ford customer service in the end.
Traded for an MY02 STI UK and loving every minute of it.

 

Mine was a Mazda MX3, which i hated, pile of crap!!!
but managed to trade it in

 

My previous car was a crimson Peugeot 306 XSi
