Cool

As I'm bored thought I'd put a quick history of my cars

At the wee age of 18, my first car.. Nova 1.3SR.. what a motor!


After that was written off by some **** in an XR3i not looking where he was going, I went to the dizzy heights of a clio 1.4 !!


Soon got bored of that, so decided to get something with a bit more power, and along came the RS Turbo .. what a beast
obviously had the stage 1 conversion to 180bhp


After having that for a while my quest for more power soon got the better of me, and along came the M3


Then some silly woman drove into the side of me (not my fault guv )


Then the local ******* decided to use my car as a local spare parts bin, and they decided to help themselves over course of time to take my side skirts, wing mirrors and whole front bumper !


Then me got a pimp mobile as a courtesy car whilst it was being repaired


Then I saw the light and got my RB5 beast


Thanks for listening

Graham

Talking

Yep they look the absolute DB's ... BUT!!! they cost soooo much money it just aint even funny...

I had it for 18 months, and if you take the whole thing incl insurance, repairs, servicing, etc etc... but not including petrol I reckon that car cost me around £15k minimum ....over 18 months!!!

DOH!
