My Car Life...

[Simon72]

Here is a list of cars I have owned and abused since I passed my test back in March 1990.

(A few of the photos are grabbed off the net, due to I have no actual pictures, colours are correct though)

They are in the correct order of ownership aswell, so you can see the varied engines and strange cars I have driven.

Enjoy..

Feel free to add your own collection in this thread.

[xlthunter]

Passed test in Dec 2000 - first day day after boxing day...

Fiat Panda - 1000cl (I remember it costs me £800 on TPFT!) but that cost me about £650

http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb11/xlthunter/Citroen%20C2/forumimg3793sn8.jpg

Then when she 'died' I got my next one costing £3k in cash with 16k on the clock...

Fiat Seicento 899cc (W Reg) back in 2003 - great little runabout.

http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb11/xlthunter/Citroen%20C2/fiat_seicento_yellow_1998_2004.jpg

Engine problems after 86k miles, she needed to go... so in Dec 06 I got my first "new" car - yup its the old C2 :D - will be keeping her for a long time I think..

Started in a 1.0 Yaris '53' colour collection. Like a dead mouse that one died on its roof with its feet in the air

Next came a 1.1 C2 Design

That worked fine with no problems untill I saw a GT and ended up buying the VTR

[lazy_pie]

[Simon72]

Just realised I have had 4,6,12 cylinder cars, but not had a 5 or V8 yet, or even a WANKLE, must work on that, mmmm.

Whoops, mistake..

Was a standard Manta GTE,

I forgot a car, look again and you will see the missing TURBO

Vauxhall Astra GTE 16v (Courtney Turbo) 2.0LTR

[matt.still]

ok the astra is sound and worthy of the olds-kool badge!!
but the mantra just rules!! and thinking it was a turbo just made me cream my power ranger pants!!!!

[tc2005]

simon72, i guess the picture of the mini wasnt yours as its w reg. you said it was 1 litre well if it was w reg it would be a 1275cc mpi engine, would have airbag, door bars, possibly red dash cant think of anything else
nice car as most people who bought a cooper of that age got the sportspack and they just dont drive well with 13 inch wheels.
also ive seen that pic b4 im sure.
is it of www.northwestminis.co.uk by any chance

Mine goes as follows

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff48/shaunyvts/Pic233.jpg

thats right an outrageous 60bhp from the 1.2 8v punto lol

Next up.....

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff48/shaunyvts/SP_A0032.jpg

Loved it when it worked!!

Then on to...

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff48/shaunyvts/car4.jpg

My dabble in the dark arts of Diesel! What a machine loved it but missed petrol too much! and at £75 a tank not as cheap as you are lead to belive!!

And currently..

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff48/shaunyvts/BlankReg.jpg

Awaiting a trip to the VAG specialist AMD's its getting a custom remap and a forge recirc valve aiming for 310 bhp then its full Milltek and sports cat and a fuel pump upgrade should see 350bhp that will be next year though.
