Cars you have owned..

[macca]

Well I thought I'd get in first and start this, will make it a sticky too so all new people signing up see the thread and hopefully post up. Will be interesting!

Post pictures up of any and all cars you've owned too if you've got them.

Just hoping Ang doesn't post up as she'll crash the server!! :p

Nice Onion, kind of got that Cossie Sapphire look about it, very tastful!

And that 850 is a gorgeous colour. Please tell me you're not changing it??

[Kerry_T-5R]

I can see why it took 9 years before you thought about changing your orion!! - I wonder how long it will be before you even come close to thinking about changing the R, surely any other car will have to be an "aswell" car!

[850_Turbo_Brick]

Well....ford fiesta 1.1 :help: cough cough then got worse to a passat estate :sos:lol moving on swiftly, now i have got one of these::yahoo:

Good ones are collectors cars now esp a 16v cabrio. Saw a gunmetal grey one the other day that I almost went for. Most people just don't realise how good they are, shame really.

Hi Vicky and nice choice in your cars and colour, looks stonking :D

[macca]

Very nice colour Vicky, always liked that on Supra's, I think it makes them look more modern.

[Favlude]

There she is ;)
Very nice, I'll keep an eye out for ya. I'll be in a dark blue Honda Prelude or maybe a dark red one (speedbird's) :)

[paulus2112]

First car - 1982 Ford Fiesta 1.1L
http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l278/paulus2112/Fiesta.jpg

2nd car - 1982 Vauxhall Astra 1.6SR
http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l278/paulus2112/AstraSR.jpg

Then I had a 1989 3 door Honda Civic 1.4i that was written off in an incident with a Renault 5 before I had chance to take a photo of it! thankfully the Renault died too!

4th car was a 1987 MK1 Honda CRX 1.6i 16v dohc
http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l278/paulus2112/CRX2.jpg

5th car was a 1992 Honda Civic 1.6VTI B16A THis car may have ruined every car I buy since due to it's 8,200rpm limiter - nothing I've driven since comes close to the fun - I need an S2000 now!
http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l278/paulus2112/Civic1.jpg

Company oil burners took over my automotive life for the next few years starting with a 2001 Ford Fiesta 1.8D LX, which was utterly shite and should never be mentioned again.

Then this, seen here with quater of a ton of granite in the boot and about to embark on a trip up the M2... Another Ford Fiestical only this time a 1.4 TDi LX...
http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l278/paulus2112/Fiesta1.jpg

Company cars can be fun...!
http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l278/paulus2112/Fiesta2.jpg

The next Ford 'go anywhere' was a 2003 Focus Estate 1.8Tdi LX (I think)
http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l278/paulus2112/Focus.jpg

Then a 2007 VW Golf 'Variant' 1.9 Tdi S (a proper grown up car)
Seen here loaded up ready for holidays...
http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l278/paulus2112/Golf.jpg

That's what I'm currently driving, until tomorrow when I have to return it to my old company.

All going well, fingers crossed! I shall be collecting this tomorrow evening, 2001 Audi A4 1.8 Turbo Sport, my first petrol car in 3 years! Unfortunatley not as much fun as my old Hondas though...
http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l278/paulus2112/A4.jpg

http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l278/paulus2112/036.jpg

Here's hoping the Audi brings me back from the smoke and noise of the diesle darkside and proves a fun and reliable beast for years to come!

[Favlude]

Paul, I actually remember you having all of those. CRX and Civic were the best of the pack. :)

Thought I had already done this but after looking found that I never got round to it.
Only from 2000 onwards. Seem to have got stuck on Hondas. Paulus2112's fault :p
Didnt' take any pics of my 3rd gen, developed a head gasket problem and I got rid quick.
First up is my Prelude 2.0i auto, which I bought as a company car :)

http://inlinethumb10.webshots.com/43657/2621912040103100159S600x600Q85.jpg
Second my 2.0i Accord, first car we took to Latvia. Bit of customising going on in the wheel department.

http://inlinethumb20.webshots.com/42131/2208025480103100159S600x600Q85.jpg

[paulus2112]

Haha! - no photos of pre-Honda era then? the British Racing Green Maestro? the Ambassador? wasn't there a terracotta Escort once upon a time?

To be fair I think the Corolla was the turning point - Jap from there on pretty much!

You're not the only person I converted to Hondas!

[Favlude]

Yep, I have some pics of the red Corolla and also the Mazda 323F but, sneakily I just copied this lot over from Midlands Honda :sign_lol:

[mills]

[AW09]

I add to this too.

First car on the road, Fiesta mk3 1.1 (ran out of fuel and sold it for £100)
Then a Nova SR 1300 mk1 1988. Running on twin 40's. Failed the mot and to this day is parked up in a barn.
mk1 clio, 1.4 3door green. Crashed it into a hedge.
mk1 clio 1.2 pos, sold it 1 month after buying.
My first and last brand new car, a clio, had severe bad luck with it, had the front bumper ripped off by a neighbour, and black ice killed it after i hit a sign and into a ditch sideways.
Then my nova
Now my tigra.

Not bad for 4years driving lol
