My Car History

Life started out with a 106 1.1 look 2 limited edition

After my modifications which included

Laguna splitter

Gti suspension

2x12" 1000w Infinity White Stuff Subs

Stealth 800w Amp

4 x 13cm 50w Xplod Speakers (no rear speakers fitted but wiring was their :) )

Sony FFSH7750 Headunit

Pipercross Filter

Piper Backbox (on cold starts it sounded like a scooby no word of a lie and most people though i had an engine transplant lmfao)

Wheels Resprayed Black with a silver flicker

This is how my first car which i still love to this day looked after my stint with her

When time came to choosing a new car i was really undecided on what to get. i dindt know if to get a C2 GT, a 106gti, mondeo st tdci, a celica gt but i ended up splashing out on a new car (dont shoot me please)

I wasnt happy with it just being any old standard looking car, so i decided to choose a few extras which include

Front Lower Spoiler

Rear Lower Spoiler

Sideskirts

Audio Car Upgrade 2 (front speakers and sub fitted)

Leather/Alcrom Seats

Autoglym Shine and kit

Alternative Gearknob

Sport Matts

Sport Doorsill Portectors

A few stats

1.6 16v Dohc 4 Cylinder Engine

0-62 in 8.9 (on book)

Combined MPG of 39.2

So here is my new motor, as you can tell from the pictures a Suzuki Swift Sport

Welcome mate

Hello and welcome, Oilburninnut lead you to us then. Seem to remember your car being parked at Rheged, around the mid February. My brother organised the Swift meeting. And I followed you all through to Keswick, and even helped a couple of you who took a wrong turn...lol.

Love those seats btw, look awesome.

thank you pal im very very impressed with the new car and loving every minute of it :) ...

No Probs. Do you share Gary's and other anonymous briskodians' enthusiasm for Heat magazine? (Please refer to 'Ring trip thread)

ill have a read of that thread first before i comment lol

Hi Captain Scarlet-yes i remember when you came we are going for another one aswell if anyone is interested in joining us :)

I think your next trip is scheduled for August if I'm not mistaken. I'll have to check what I've got on, but would be good.

welcome to briskoda

Really like the Swift! I tried (unsuccessfully) to get swmbo to get one. :(

Nice looking Swift Chris - good photos too :thumbup:

Welcome to the forum. Saw your post in the Awesome RR thread; you'll have to scan a bit further up the thread and see the running order. Not sure if there's any room though :(

Cheers,

Steve

Hiya. I take you're not a fan of so-called "Lexus lights" either then?

Hello Chris !! :D

  • Author

thanks for the welcome guys

Captain Scarlet, the run is planned for Sunday 17th August. I am currently in discussion in having another owners club joining us and if you guys and girls would like to make it a joint event, please let me know and then i can get an idea of numbers

ye i saw the running order wardy and i know its a bit late but still put me on the list if thats ok, if a few people drop out you never know :)

Ant-let me take swmbo out for a spin, ill show him its not about bhp but about how they handle and the corne2ring. honestly you'll be suprised what has struggled to stay with me in a nice twisty road.

Thanks for all the comments about the Swift. I love this car to pieces. i wasnt a big fan of the looks of the fabia however i think they are a solid car and i would not be ashamed to have one-infact i wouldnt mind one as a track car :)

Oh and lexarse lights dont turn me on. sorry if i upset anyone.........excluding the chav's in here innit cha!
