Your car history in photos - Page 2

I guess I should point out that like Grandad here, only the last 6 pics are mine, the rest shamelessly stolen from other people.

I'm going to have to steal some pics from somewhere for my first few cars - I'll do this when I get home.

My previous 2 cars would be boring as hell to look at

But I like this thread

2002 - 1995- fiat Chinquecento sx

2006 - 1993(i think) VW Golf 1.8GL

2007 - 1999 Mitsubishi carisma 1.8GDI

2005? - 1972 Dodge Charger Se (Magnum 400ci)

Haven't worked on it for 18months and wont touch it for another 12-18months. Hopefully houses prices will not raise and I can either find or save the money up for a deposit. Once I own a house with a garage it will be totally stripped down.

March 07-March 08--- bought this to learn in Mayfair 1275.

January 08-August 08--- bought this as a reward for passing my test first time, Suzuki Swift GLX 1.5

August08-current--- bought this after out-growing the Swift, CTR EP3

Soon replaced the 18" OZ alloys with standard CTR Enkei alloys

Now getting into trackdays, and hoping to get into trackracing sooner or later.

Well first of all I started with a 91 Polo CL. Even when I got rid the shell was mint and was crying out for a 1.4 Supercharged conversion. Alas it was fine around town, going down the motorway was a mission. Even with a little 1L it bloody flew! One of the first fuel injected ones and it weighed about the same as a fag packet. A friend had an old 89 Polo and mine would spank it silly

Sold it to a girl who then wrapped it around something

Spotless inside as well.

Next the Focus. Quick enough to annoy rep mobiles if you rag it senseless. It's out of puff by 6k and you get there far too quickly. It's best feature is its ability to go around roundabouts at just silly speeds. I routinely show some dipstick who is 2" off my bumper how to do a roundabout at speed. They normally end up understeering off.

The other year I got the MR2, which is a cracking motor. It's my weekend motor and sprint car.

After I had an argument with it, it now has a white bumper. After the first sprint event I will put a new blue one on there and tidy it up a bit more.

I've only ever driven (and crashed) one

We all know this is an artists representation of my car though, since mine looks ****

I love it none the less, and even though recently it cost me a little bit of welding (which subsequently i don't think it would have "needed" if i went to a "real" garage). It still continually costs me **** all to keep on the road and really is pretty bullet proof! Bland as nothing but get's me A to B and has never let me down.
