Default My previous cars (most of them)

I've owned a few cars over the years so thought I'd put a few pics up! No doubt some of you guys have also owned some of these! Please bear in mind I had some of these when I was quite young......hence the eyebrows on the Clio lol!! There are also a few missing like my Clio 172, blue fiesta zetec s and corsa 1.2 sxi, just couldn't find any pics

In no particular order......

106 gti. Cracking little car tbh!





Paxo VTS. Again, good car. Preferred it over the gti! Considered going Concorse with it at one point.





Clio 1.8 16v (valver to those in the know). Didn't like it. Was mapped but wasn't quick. my chav phase at this point was in full flow lol



Punto GT Turbo....my first turbo car. Pretty rapid, full SEB2 setup





The second mk5 zetec s I had. I still think this is the best 'warm' hatch you can buy. Also considered putting this into competition but didn't have time







First scooby I had, a P1, think it was 867, can't quite remember. Was standard except for a few decals, extra bonnet vent, sti rears and different sound system. Absolutely loved it (except the £2000 head gasket bill). Part ex'd it for a hawk sti. Found out soon after that the new owner had written it off







Second scooby I had, hawk sti. Great car but I got bored with it, just didn't have the connection the P1 had, plus I got a hot-hatch itch again so sold it after about a year. Apparently the HG went soon after the new owner had bought it, not entirely sure though??







Corsa VXR with full courtney stage 2 setup. Lowered on kw's, AP / VXR calipers. Also had UBER rare OEM hids. Anyone that's owned one of these will know how cracking these are. The seats are amazing, they are quick and they look the part!







MK1 Focus RS. Had this 6 months. Didn't like it. Nice color and looks, but didn't do much for me driving wise. No traction in the wet, horrid seating position, Shiite build quality / plastic fantastic





Finally my current scoob. JDM blob sti. Absolutely love it. Full pics / project work in the project section

Some nice motors. I had 2 16v clios when I was 17/18 loved mine. Was just cheaper to buy another then to fix them, really want a mk1 focus rs but they are out of my price range at the moment.

Some folk swear by them, but I really didn't like the RS. They apparently come alive with a few simple mods, but its struggles to get traction as is it!

My cars since 1995

Nova 1.3 SR (get some NCD!)
Peugeot 205 1.9GTi
Citroen ZX 2.0 16v
Nissan 200SX (S14)
Vauxhall Vectra SRI 150
Citroen Saxo VTS
Vauxhall Astra Turbo Coupe
Renault Clio 182
BMW 325ci
Impreza WRX PPP

My fav was probably the 205, steering with proper feeling and real low down torque. Nostalgia probably clouds the judgement though lol

Bit of a hot hatch fan by looks of it, some nice cars there, shame about P1 being written off

My first daily was a 106GTI in the same colour Diablo red (think it was called Diablo red)

My actual first car was my KAD classic mini, still own this now. As above this wasn't bought as a daily but I owned it a few months before I got the 106GTI.

After the 106 I got a vectra 140 SRI, I was doing a few miles so though rep car and was not unimpressed with it but I moved so didn't need a car that would eat up the miles anymore.

Next came the turbo 2000, brilliant car and looked really smart, sold that to a pal of mine who unfortunately turned it into a below average turbo 2000. The car is now in Poland.

Currently I have my Hawkeye Type 20 weekend car
KAD Mini ( having minor work at moment to get body work nice again )
Hilux is my daily/hunting truck, possibly getting swapped for a discovery 3 soon depends if I can find a decent one

I'm a little sad about your FRS review, I always felt I'd have one in the future
That 106 GTi looked very nice and clean, good colour too

A few of us wrote down previous cars a few weeks ago, I ended up with 44 on my list, some are embarrassing by today's standards, but some are just plain awesome.
They go from a talbot solara through to a noble m12.
