Well, i own a Ferrari F50, a Lambo Gallardo Spyder, an Enzo, a Mclaren F1, an S65 AMG, a BMW M6, a Porsche GT3RS and an Aston Martin DB9 but i have no pictures of them unfortunately as they are in my underground car port which has poor lighting and the camera on my Vertu is terrible hehe.

So unfortunately i will have to just show you my BMW 318Ci M Sport... :-)




Cheap and cheerful, nowt compared to some of the other pictures here but its mine and i love it, cheap insurance, tax, running costs and it looks pretty cool.

Being 21, with a conviction for undue care and attention i got 3 days after passing my test, i dont really have much of a choice of cars until it comes off my license next September.

But, its my baby all the same!

The colour seems to provoke discussion, its Ruby Red II individual and im led to believe i have the only coupe in the country in this colour, how true this is im not sure - £2000 cost option as well im told by the BMW dealer it came from, but they will say anything to sell a car!!

That colour is really nice!

Shame about the lighting in the car park though!

I hope you don't mind me asking, but what exactly did you do to warrant the conviction?

PS: As said in GG, the car looks very smart!

I crashed, long story but coming along a narrow, dark, unlit hedge lined minor road which looked like one long road but it wasnt. Give way sign had been knocked down, road markings were never painted... i was too busy concentrating my attentions further down the road and missed that it was crossed by a similar 'major road' - before i knew it i had emerged out of this road and got hit by a people carrier.

Its all in my past now, and i have done my best to put it behind me but it was a mess.

Good for you, learn from it and move on.

I crashed more than once soon after passing my test and to be honest I think it was the best thing that could have happened to me (luckily nobody else was hurt in the process).

Had it not been for that steep learning curve I'm not sure I'd be here today.

Slow is a relative term... its rapid compared to all my friends cars, but slow as anything compared to my parents.

Debadging was the previous owners decision, i wouldnt have minded, got nothing to hide!
