BigMon Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Passed me test in 1990.Cars I've had (in order):1985 B Austin Maestro 1.3 style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":evil:" border="0" alt="evil.gif" /> 1981 X Ford Escort 1.3 style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> 1989 G VW Polo 1.3 style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> 1993 K XR2i style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> 1994 M Honda Civic ESi style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Got at moment:2001 51 Loop GTi1988 E VW T25 CamperAll were great apart from the Maestro (which, in my defence, my grandad gave me). No wonder Britain has no big car manufacturers left.Escort was great. Cost me £225. Paint had faded matt and you could leave it anywhere (including down Sheffield when clubbing). Everyone gave way to you in a 50/50 situation. Wrote it off when some dizzy tart drove out in front of me. 6 months later got £800 off the insurance. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leddy Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) I have searched but couldnt find anything and im sure if there was a post in the past but no doubt there have been a fair few newbies since.anyway as the title says border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />after the rover i went back to vauxhall and went all out on a 1999 astra 2.0ltr Sri. at 18/19 it was one hell of a car! just really slow for what it was.i put some 17" allessio alloys on it. lowered it 40mm and put a remus race pipe with a janspeed backbox.it also had all the vauxhall irmscher kit on. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />i did a bit of customisation to the interior of this border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />the astra skinted me out and really wasnt that great of a car!! it was too slow for a 2.0ltr! so i needed to get back on track and had my heart set on a lupo gti in the future.so i sold the mk 4 astra and bought a mk 3 astra sport.she was known as the green goblin! it was a bargain at the time for only £1000, mint condition and fshthis did me proud for a good 6 months border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />so i then sold this and bought the loop! heres how she stands today border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />cheers guys! hope you like my journey through my life of motoring to date!
