Whats Cars Have You Owned? (pics)

[Special Red]

Im still in shock from the fact you admit you bought one!!! lol

Just havin a laugh mate!

[GTForbes]

lol no probs, it only cost £50 and was never ment to make it on to the road, took it apart to see how a car works, got it back together and up and running before i even realised

[GiJoe90]

Ok don't laugh too much at my first car!!!

Rover 100 Kensington SE - Ok my Mum bought me it as a first car and I went mad doing it up! Made the front cover and was a feature car of Performance Metro Club magazine mind! It was only a 1.1i but I put a GTa sticker on the back Was a good runner and never let me down.

Then saw the light and bought a really really mint example of a G6R Corolla. I loved that car

Then bought one of my childhood dream cars. This was a very very nice car and I'm glad I owned it, even if it was only for a short time. :crutchy:

Oh nearly forgot about the Pug 206 HDI but that was a work car and not worth a picture anyway.

[Special Red]

How would you compare the Impreza to the GT4????????

[Chris.S]

Impreza had the room, but the celica is more economical, relaxing to drive and quicker

[Special Red]

What would you get from a full tank in the 4?

I do love the sound of Imprezas though!

Passed my test in 96 and drove my Mum's 93 Nissan Micra until I finished Uni and could afford my own car.

In 2001 I bought a 'W' 2000 Ford Fiesta Zetec-S - great little go-kart car. Put 40k on her in 4years and she never missed a beat and got a fair bit of abuse.

Jan 2005 bought a 54 plate Celica T-Sport - no end of probs. But when she goes, she's great. Done 19k in the last 15 months.

April 2006, just bought a 04 plate Honda S2000 w/6.5k on the clock. Can't wait to take delivery and get the car up to 'average' mileage! ;)

[Johndcfc]

First Car: 2000 Punto HLX (Can you believe the original owner paid 12k )

To this: 2003 Corolla T-Sport

[Flamby]

then bought this... ok I knows it chavved but I loved it :D

1.4 2001 reg SEAT Leon

Then bought a 2004 SEAT Ibiza TDI FR, lol long name :) was a very nippy little hatch, but it was a dezeazal :(

[vmail]

just been driving this ford for three weeks, it was the only manual that I could find

[Puls]

1989 Nissan Stanza. Engine died.

1986 Nissan Pulsar. Still have it.

1991 Nissan Maxima SE-5. Let a friend drive it and he wrecked it. :(

1990 Plymouth Voyager. Still have it, though probably not for much longer. In 1984, these things were the first generation of people movers, even beating the Espace to respective markets by a few months. Shame they're such piles of crap, though I hear the Renault is the same way (a pile of crap).

1996 Toyota Camry. Of course I still have it :D

1986 Volvo 240DL. Photo taken just yesterday.

1981 Datsun 210 DeLuxe. Current toy. Photo taken just last Friday.

In the past week I've tried to buy a 1992 Toyota Previa All-Trac AWD, a 1999 Mazda Protege, a 1996 Subaru Legacy AWD estate wagon, and a 1997 Subaru Legacy Brighton AWD estate wagon. All 4 were kicked out from under me Thats the way it goes, you hunt down the good used cars, but somebody else always gets there first :ffs:

[Puls]

Ooops. Dreaded double post.

[Karma Supra]

Here goes... I must warn you, I have had some shocking cars!!!!

Starting with a Mk1 Astra GTE... No ,pics :( it was beige and a shed.

998cc Austin Metro, No pics...

1.3 MG metro, mint car, No pics apart from the pikey sound system I put in it

Next up was a 2.0 Sillycar GTi (My first toyota!!!

It was an utter shed, and I sold it within two weeks.. Look at the baby Charlie :D

I then went up in the world with a 2.5 Twin turbo Soarer.... I had this car for two years and loved it to bits, unfortuntely a "mate" at uni drove it crashed it, refused to pay for the damage asn I had to sell it to pay the £1400 repair bill :(

While driving the Soarer TT I needed an economical runaround that I woudn't mind leaving at uni, Enter the chavtastic fiesta van

:!Removed!:

'91 MR2 G limited...(no pics)

The fiesta was so pants, I was lookign for something else as a runnaround, I piced up my first supra at auction, it was a 3.0i Auto, later it was a 3.0 turbo manual ;)

During the engine transplant above, I bought this as a runaround...

It later perished with an over heated engine lol

Next up was the Supra twin turbo aerotop. I have still nto seen another like this, and have owned it since 2003! I still own it, of course! (now my only car!)

My second soarer TT came up at auction three days after I bought the supra TT, I bought it and got it home, one of the cars had to go as I could not afford both... the soarer was Mint, siily fast, a rare colour, fully loaded and had awesome wheels... but I decided if one had to go... it was not going to be the supra!!!

I was totally happy with this car, untill I suffered cowboy mechanics and shot turbos, taking it off the road (its, er still off the raod), so I needed another runaround.... Step in the 2.5 V6 24v ford probe (its a rebodies mazda MX-6 so I *thought* it would be ok......

8 days later the engine seized, so why I sorted that I bought a runaround for the runaround... a Lada Samara

This is the scaryest thing I have ever driven!!!! it really is like driving a tank, with candles for head lights, and brakes made of wood..

Continued!! (too many pics!!)

I fixed the probe, and carried on fixing everything that broke.... one day if suffered a total eletrical failure that I could not fix, nor could any garage, ford, mazda, or independant electrical specialists, so I ebayed the %$(er and bought a proper car...

Lovely car, 1 owner from new, great black leather, my personal fave colour for an MR2...

I kept it for a year, but wanted more!!!

I swapped it ina straight swap for something more "me" A last off the line K plate Supra turbo...

Fantastic car, I had big plans for it, but its life as I know it ended on St. Patricks day when it "kinda had an altication" with a fair few rather solid road signs....

Since getting the Turbo Supra I also have had a few others ;)

'88 pre facelift n/a manual supra, (now another TOc members!

Lovely Lovely AW-11 MR2 (Now another TOC members ;))

1982 BMW 6 series, intended restoration project, but being made redundant ended that!!!

Very cool car, Milly absolutely hated it!!!

I also bought a bargain Mkiii turbo supra....

Also now, another TOC members car!!!!

I think that pretty much covers it!!!! B)

Well since Dec '04 I've had 3 cars, 2 main ones and 1 lil plaything.

Car#1

'98 Fiat Punto Sporting 16v

Nice little car, got it cheap from work as it was a trade-in, it had character etc, and I'm surprised that it didnt break down on me like alot of people thought it would. It had a new gearbox but that was my fault, and a slight misfire which was cured just before I sold it. I brought it standard and did a few choice mods to it.

Car#2

'03 Toyota Yaris T Sport

Again brought it from work as standard, 03 plate, loved it from the moment I drove it. Already been modifying it since I had it in October last year, got a pic but Ive got some new wheels going on it this week :D

Car#3

'90 Citroen AX GT

This was a little playtime car I brought with a mate, after getting it back to his house it was stripped out apart from the dash and 2 seats. Had plenty a laugh doing that and thrashing it about, it was then sold after a few month because we both got bored of it. Took it to the lads house signed over the V5 etc, he paid us then the bleeding thing wouldn't start lol. Turned out to be a duff Battery in the end.

Car#4

Who knows.
