Currently my Fab VRS and a Renault Spider hibernating for the winter

[daveyonthemove]

Not Owned many:

Passed my test and bought a 306 Dturbo. Loved this car and was gutted when it got written off when a motorbike hit me (my fault) :(

Replaced 306 with a new 307 HDI 110 (remapped to aprox 140bhp) stupidly expecting a newer version to be better. It was awfull and i traded it in within 2 yrs:

Traded 307 for a new SEAT Leon FR TDI (remapped to 200bhp) and still think to this day its the best car i ever bought:

Sadly the credit crunch got the better of me so i sold the Leon and replaced it with the Fabia vRS.

Very good car, but not a patch on the Leon:

Next car.... Possibly a Volvo S40 D5 SPORT SE R-design

[garymin]

I see you all have owned many cars in you're day, and I want to hopefully own lots of cars when I grow up.

Right now, my collection is two:(, but i'm only 14, so i have many years to catch up!

1984 Suzuki SJ410, 1 litre 45bhp Top Speed 68mph!

1997 Skoda Felicia, 1.3MPi GLi

[MrHanky]

Sorry for the essay, but I have posted on a thread like this before, so have just copied from other forum.

Jan 1997 - Aug 97 - Ausin Allegro 1.3 Super - Paid £450

Pea green and immaculate condition. One owner from new and only 33k on the clock. Unfortunately the excitement of passing my test and the fact that I had free roam of the works car park at night took it's toll on the car. I basically just wanted this car to go as fast as it could (poor little thng). Very comfy seats is my overriding memory of it.

Aug 1997 - May 1998 - Ford Escort 1.3 ghia - Paid £1200

Grey and a pile of crap. Hated it.

May 1998 - Sept 1999 - Audi 90 2.3 20v - paid £3800

Met my wife when I had this car and thought that having a nice car would ensure some backseat action on the way home from the cinema on our first date. It Didn't, Vic just asked what the hell we were doing stopping in a field in the middle of know where in pitch black...... DOH!

Loved it at first but then 4th went on the auto box and spent a large amount of time trying to get it sorted through warranty etc.

Sept 1999 - Feb 2003 - 1989 Honda CRX 1.6 16v in Rio Red - Paid £3k

Loved every minute of owning this car and would love to have one of these again but in VTEC mode. Never let me down.

Feb 2003 - Mar 2004 - Brand new Honda Civic Type R Anniversary edition in Milano red. Paid £16k

My one and only new car. Loved it. Had my little lad the following year and we thought that there was too little room for all the baby stuff. Love the gear stick location.

May 2005 - Jan 2006 - Toyota MR2 Turbo in black - Paid 4.5k

Nippy car but had issues and car was constantly in the garage

Jan 2006 - Dec 2007 - 1995 BMW 328i touring - Paid 4k

AKA Bobby Beemer. Great car. Also my little lads favourite car as he grew up sitting behind the wheel of it "having a nittle drive" whilst I cleaned it and the Supra(s).

Mar 2006 - Cannot remember when Vicki sold it. - 1995 NA Supra Manual 5 speed in Red. Paid 4.8k

My first Supra. Ridiculously low, to the point that I could not turn down certain roads due to the camber of the road and scraping of the front bumper. Loved the sound but quickly decided that i needed a TT.

Oct 2006 - Nov 2007ish - Silver 1995 RZ TT manual (to start with). Paid 10.5k

Loved this car more than any other and spent far too much in the first year of ownership. Amongst many other upgrades I changed the brakes and had a full respray. Still would consider buying this back.

Apr 2007 - Current - White 2003 DC5 Integra Type R - Paid 11k

Was Vickis car before it came over to me. Great car and probably the best all rounder out of all my cars. Practical, pretty economical, great handling, ok in a straight line and sounds great. Love it and want to keep it forever.

[Tfp]

Tell me more...

Was built by Iain Birch for drag racing, but also road legal

Basicly a complete front wheel drive set up from a Cupra-R very cleverly mounted into the back of a Polo coupe, add on some Jabba sport "go faster bits" some nitous "if you dare" and a line lock for the front wheels so you can smoke it at the lights.

Was the ultimate sleeper, looked normal from the outside.

Sold it a guy up north called Martyn who races it at York dragway.

The 340bhp was at the rear wheels and without added nitrous.

[vRSLen]

Being a hairy arsed biker, I was never bothered about cars until the wife passed her test.

Then it was "I am not having that", and passed my test first time......

If I had to type out all the car and bikes that I have owned, the internet would be asleep by the morning,

and I would be lacking finger tips
