Recommended Posts

I have only had 1 car! it was a 205 GTI 1.6, after the 2nd engine had blown :lol: I put in a tuned 1.9 engine, bleedin fast engine, stuck 1.9 wheels on and lowered it, it was a beast! It was one of the miami blue models. Apart from that I drove my mums old Escort, then she got a J reg 1.1 Feista!

The reason I went from a hot-hatch to a powerful coupe was the handling, I love good handling cars!! ;)

You guys are older than i thought, ya'll have had tons of cars :lol: :P

Before my current Toy Rolla, my first and only was a Skoda Favorit GLXiE,

what a heap of sh*t! Though was faster than it looked, and never gave a **** about people hurting it, not like my current baby.

My first car - can I remember that far in the dim and distant past?

It was a 1959 Morris Minor 1000 and this is how it finished it's life.

Bast**d in the Mk 3 Cortina overtook a Land Rover aand drove straight into me. Luckily I walked away with cuts and bruises - seatbelts not compulsory in those days but I was wearing one that day

Just like to sat hello to everyone as I'm new on here.

Thinking of getting and MR2 or Celica GT4 so started researching early.

Anyway here my list of cars first being the present and what they are like!

1 Fiesta Rs Turbo - okay, quick, unrealiable. 22yrs

2 MR2 MK2 T -Bar - This car's in a different league. 22 yrs

3 Fiesta Si 1.6 - Nice, quite slow but realiable and comfy . 21 yrs

4 Escort Rs Turbo - Crap, unrealiable, a dog, gutted on this buy . 19 yrs

5 XR2 MK2 - My First car, good handling, nice when i had it at the time. 17 yrs

Sadly I crashed the MR2 and my insurance was quite hi anyway, had to get the fiesta to keep costs low for a few years.

I'm 24 now and I'm going back to the MR2. It has been ny favourite car b4 i had one and it still is.
