Newbie's vehicle history......
Discussion
Hi all,
I have been a long time lurker to this forum and finally got round to signing up. Have enjoyed this forum for a long time and got to say there are some stunning vehicles in here so am slightly ashamed of my offerings but hey ho!
Unfortunately i dont have pictures of my of my old vehicles but here's a brief history of what i have smoked around in.
Bikes -
At 16 i got the ball rolling with a Honda SFX scooter. Thankfulled moved onto something quicker....
At 17 i got my Kawasaki KMX 125 (which ended up as a KMX 200 after a couple of month's as i needed speed!)
Once i got a car on the road i gave up with owning road bikes and moved onto racing motocross -
1983 250cc Maico
1995 Kawasaki KX 125
1999 Yamaha YZ 125 - Ex Yamaha works bike
2001 KTM SX 125
2002 Yamaha YZF 250 (that got stolen!)
2004 Yamaha YZF 250
2004 KTM SXF 450
2004 Yamaha YZ 250
2005 Yamaha YZF 450
(Both the 250 and 450 below)
Unfortunately my racing days ending nearly 3 years ago after a bad accident where i shattered my left leg and still cant walk properly! Joy! Still race again though if i could!!
Then onto cars-
Fiat Uno 1 litre! Mighty fast but as a first car it did the job!
Peugeot 306 1.4 - Didnt have it for long (thankfully!)
Peugeot 306 Turbo Diesel - Quite liked this car - Bit faster than the old 1.4 petrol.
Toyota LowLux - Was an old E plate with only 30k miles on the clock! but one owner Davey Jones from the Monkeys!) from new still with the original 80's graphics - Was i great condition and drove really well for its age
BMW E30 325 - I bought this for a song from a mate at work who was leaving the country but sadly someone offered be 3 time what i paid a week later and i sold it!
Peugeot 306 Turbo diesel - Another one!
Ford Transit LWB - I bought this and converted it into a camper that could carry my motocross bikes. Kept the 306 as a daily driver
Alfa 156 - After my accident i couldnt drive a manual car so sold the 306 and the transit and bought an Alfa (everyone must own atleast one!!)
BMW 318 Coupe - I enjoyed the alfa and it was good fun to drive until the oil pump failed and the engine went rattle rattle rattle!!!
VW T4 Van - Onto what im driving now - The "Gay Blue Van" as its known. I now work as a freelance motorsport photographer so its a handy vehicle to work out of.
Now i have just broken my Femur (fortunately on the leg thats already buggered so not all bad!) so it looks like i'll be back to an auto once im out of plaster. I thinking E46 3 series Coupe.
