Fiesta X reg 1.3 Ghia... now in a field with 130,000miles on it rotting away
309GRi H reg written off when some woman aged 70 looked left but not right and pulled out and said so in front of a Police officer and did they do her??? of course not..
MR2 T-Bar E reg 360degreed and hit a tree, rebuilt...
MR2 T-Bar Turbo H reg - lovely car... 250bhp when I finished with it and out accellerated/handled mates UK Impreza Turbo, much to his amazement.
Impreza Turbo wagon UK N reg - Written off after a month... trying to get the same slides as the MR2 did! doh... airbags work well.
Impreza Turbo wagon UK N reg - current car, still loving it..
Bikes - DT50 E reg no comment, RD125LC C reg in Wrangler race colours! ha ha no comment, F reg GSR400RR, S reg Blade... lovin' it lovin' it!
Car I had the most fun in was probably the first MR2... and I would like another one as a weekend car, when I win the lottery..
The Impreza is the best alround car.. can carry five people and luggage, tow a bit trailer, and go quick...
