Show Us Your Car History

[m30dus]

After the plentiful 'show us your' threads...

First car, it had a plentiful 800cc 3 pot power plant and Vmaxed at 89mph



I've been working for abit now and although I bought it from new, I promptly began modifying it.

In it's best guise...



I got carried away, plenty ICE and some 18's thrown in for good measure...





I promptly sold it and bought this..



Got worried about MPG and traded it in for this...



The lift off over steer was fun, but I miss my turbo and got this..



Started my own business and needed some money to get it off the ground so I traded down to this beauty...



Drove the 306 for a year and finally got behind the wheel of this..



Don't ask why..?



It was good fun, ended up with circa 380bhp but the engine went pop and I lost heart...



I loved this car, still don't know why I sold it, still can't get over the improvement vs the STI!



Bought a bigger house and traded down again...



Managed to get back into Evo ownership for abit..



Sold that and bought a Clio V6 255 but sold it so quick I don't think I have any photo's...

Needed something practical as I was doing mega miles now...



Did 50k miles in 6 months and got this... Was a great car (525d)..



Ran this alongside the 525d, was only 135 horse but it went like stink..



Sold them both and bought a 535d tourer MSport, did the DMS treatment but auto box was dull (will need to find pic's)..

My current rides..



Don't think I'll ever sell it!



Currently in bit's undergoing tackcar prep...

And the work hack..

Mines pretty short (but sweet) I'm afraid. I'm 22 going on 23 and I've had 4 cars (not including the shagged mk2 golf gti I owned for a week while me and a mate stripped it for parts!)

First car: Family owned from new Golf 1.4. Was my Aunt's car, then my Mum's car, then mine! Kept for 4 years, sold to a work friend, would happily buy back!


Second car: bit of a step up from the golf! Family discount enabled much fun as soon as I turned 21. Kept for 9 months


Third car: more of a lateral move this time! Again, kept for 10 months or so!


Fourth and current car: Had it for just over a week now, and loving RWD!

[Mr.Jimbo]

Just the one for me - 20 years old, had this since I was 17

[Mannginger]

Mk1 Golf GL (Automatic) - Similar to this but in Silver


1.0L 205 XE - here's it's bum!


1.6 Ford Focus


Fiesta ST


SportKa


MX5

[Stu_1.0]

'm30dus' great car history. Nice contrast from your first car to what you have now!

[minerva]

m30dus..... I did have such high hopes for the e46 racer. Until I saw what you did to that 206!

[dave87]

peanutjb - quick question mate, who did you insure the ST with? Same age considering changing (no family discount with Ford any longer, but they seem reasonable second hand) to one this year?

[charnock]

wow lead foot, you have some fairly questionable taste there but i love the matt black benz and actually think the escort estate looks great!

[Cotty]

A little different to the above cars
