Hey

Thought I would post a few pictures of my short car history...

First came the very slow and not very exciting 1.0 Corsa...





That lasted a few months after I passed my test and got very bored of driving it. That made way for my Fiesta Zetec S which was brilliant.

Sadly the only decent pictures I've got were taken with my mates old Polo...







I had that for 2 and a half years, when I sold to make way for my next car, but before I coud buy that, I had to buy something to keep me on the road.

I got an Astra for £300 off eBay, 1.4 8v, so again not the most thriling drive, but it never broke down in the 6 months I had it and came with 6 months tax and 11 months mot...





Then after 5 months of looking, I finally found what I wanted, got a Basalt Black 2.7 987 Boxster...











Thanks for reading.

Best wheels for the Boxster IMO - a friend of mine has them on his 3.4S and my 18" alloys look puny when parked next to them.

Thanks fr the comments, I'm made up with the Boxster.

I paid £18k for the car, then after I bought the wheels and had the major service done, it cost me just less than £21k.

I'm 20 bud. I finished my engineering apprenticeship in March this year, hence the big step up in cars!

I never was a fan of Boxster's really, untl someone in work suggested one and then I found out I could insure one, so had a test drive and didn't look back. The car really is great, always puts a smile on my face when I drive it.
