Morning peeps.

Was wondering what everybodys car history is. I will start the ball rolling....

1991 Ford Fiesta 1.1.
xr2 interior, sold with no air filter (what i mug i was), car had bad combustion problems and ran for about 3 days max before failure. car was sold for scrap after 3 months. friend wrote on the bonnett in oil "fasterthanjesus" - just before it went to the great scrapyard in the sky.


1991-1996 Vauxhall Cavalier 1.8 sri
very solid car on a "b" plate. had a cylinder head gasket go, which also took out the rad and the water pump. apart from that, it was made for motorway driving, held the road well, and had good response through all the gears. managed to part ex (£200) it in wrexham for....

1996-1998 Renault 5 GT Turbo (1.4)
Nice car. Very nice car. Very Very nice car. The curse of the cylinder head gasket followed me, this car didnt like to be sat about in queues. But the acceleration and handling were very very good. I managed to buy it for £1600, it needed two new front tyres, the starter motor didnt work (managed to bump start it). the journey home was hilarious, some idiot in an xr2 "buzzed" me on the m56, i was only doing about 65. suffice to say, left him wishing he hadnt bothered.

1998 -2000 Vauxhall Astra 1.8 sport (company car)
i had the company car for 4 days, then some $&%£$% broke into my r5. i was forced to sell it, wasnt happy.
the astra sport was good, good on the motorway, very sturdy, and had an ok response. there was a known problem with "squeaking" brakes, which was eventually sorted out.

2000-2002 Vauxhall Corsa 1.8 sri (company car)
wasnt as fast as i thought it would be, but it was much better in the higher gears. motorway driving was good, car felt safe, even though it was quite small. parking was a doddle. all in all, not a bad motor.

2002-2005 ford focus diesel estate 1.8 turbo (company car)
bag of poo. no acceleration. where was the turbo? turned like an oil rig, parking was a long and drawn out procedure. avoid focus diesel estates at all costs.

2005- present Williams 3. (walked away from company car lifestyle)
to be honest, theres a lot of cars i could have chosen. im in my mid 30's and after owning the r5, there was only one choice.
williams and renault did some very good things. reliability is questionable, cost of ownership can be high, but the driving experience is second to none.

1997 - 2001, 205 1.6 GTi (becoming 1.9)
Hit a tree and wrote it off three months after passing my test, rebuilt it with a new shell, modified it beyond all common sense over the next four years, spent a fortune and exhaust both mine and my dad's funds before selling it.

1997 - 1999, 205 1.6 GTi
Daily runner, and managed to stay completely standard and unmolested until I took a disliking to another tree and wrote it off to. End of the line for this one.

1999 - 2000, 205 1.9 GTi
Another daily runner (lamb to the slaughter), this one actually service to see the day it was sold!

2001 - 2002, 306 D Turbo
Trusty commuting hack. Did me proud, servived another accident (not my fault this time!!!) and was sold to buy....

2002 - 2002, 306 XSi
Bought because I couldn't afford a GTi6, but bollocks to that. Three months later....

2002 - 2004, 306 GTi-6
Best overall car I've ever owned. Amazing :D . Sold to pay off debts.

2004 - 2004, E30 325i Sport
Bought for some rear-wheel-drive fun, in a moment of over-enthusiastic impulse purchasing, sold 6 weeks later for fear of the thing dissappearing into a large pile of Lachs Silver rust.

2005 - 2005, Williams 2
Bought this on a strict budget, but then managed to save some money, so wanted to spend it on something sensible....

2005 - dunno, Willaims 2
So I bought a mint one that I now love and cherish :D

1. Morris Minor...first car always the best for memories. Easy to work on and gain experience...slow as ferk..rusted away
2. Vauxhaul FB series. Pile of junk..no more to be said...exploited by garage salesman...learned a lesson..never trust salesmen
3. Jaguar mk2 [2.4]...great car...bit of a plonker at the time..repsrayed it Clemantine orange and flared the wheel arches...sills were all cataloy..thought I was the bees nees..looking back Plonker
5. MG Midget

As well as owning all above was experiencing the thrill of biking...1st bike
BSA starfire great bike till it seized up while trying to do 85mph...Norton International, Enfield 700 twin, Triumph 650, BSA 650, Norton Commando, 650 AJS..rallying..great to be a rocker

Then I became Captain Sensible with kids, mortgage...and usual debts..loads of bangers..Ford Anglia, Fiats...then by ferk a merc...which got stolen..moved on to a Saab...all very sedate and boring

After she ferked off with the next door neighbour [he did me a favour...ferking mug]....I decide it was time for me...now its a Harley with stage 2 conversion...VW W8..and the Willy 3.

good stable really...cant beat the Willy for pure fun..one of the best cars I have ever driven/owned.

2000 - peugeot 205 xe
bad bad car. big sun strips, 13inch wheels, 5 inch exhaust. died of head failure

2001 - peugeot 205 xe
spent a mint on this one to get it looking the part. was only a 1ltr in disguise so had to go.

2002 - fiesta xr2i
only lasted two months. rotten as they come. broken beyond belief when i sold it.

wonderful car. cost me a mint in gearboxes. 3 in total. not good.

Citroen BX 1.7 DTR Estate 04/96-12/96 - quickish (made out of plastic mostly :P ), could fit a mattress in the boot :wink: , and had it off my mum for £1k. Kept blowing core plugs and hoses though and the final straw was when the tyre came off the rim at 90 on the m-way in a blizzard. It didn't like me much.

Citroen AX 1.0 Dimension 05/98-06/00 -Top little motor and never went wrong ever, even when it ran for months with no oil! :shock:

Citroen Xsara 1.6 Forte 06/00-02/03 - Oddly, one of my favourites. Handled well and was seriously comfy with loads of toys. Gave it up for all the wrong reasons to buy...

Renault Clio 1.5 dCi80 Dynamique+ 02/03-02/04 - Pretty good little motor and good for eating the motorway miles, but I hardly do any m-way miles and so never really got the best of it. Was the top spec model so had lots of toys, but half didn't work well. Sold to my mum who still has it and got far better use out of it tanking across the south west.

Renault Clio 1.8 16v 02/04-Present - Excellent car, if a little drawn to bad luck. 3 bumps in 18months, but only a couple of hefty mechanical repair bills. Can't see me getting rid anytime soon. :)

errrrr


had minis as a kid

bought an austin A35 when i was 15 sold that after takin the plate off it hehe

got a talbot sunbeam after that, shoehorned a 2.0 capri block in.was fun

then i bought a mini to 'learn' to drive in, had that 12 months, wrapped it up into a wall

mk2 escort followed that, was loadsa fun apart from gettin pulled evry couple of hours cos they were nickable cars...mate rear ended that n wrote it off

back to the minis, 1340s 1400s 1275s 1100s 1000s, still have 2 of em

got a mk1 golf then, ran the tax n test off it, sold the wheels n scrapped it

back to the trusty minis hehe

bought a jetta lol.......fantastic car, great for throwin the bikes on the back of, was fair into me mtbs at the time.

traded that in for a black clio valver....fantastic car was running on 16s when i bought it, but they suited it well lol. was about 1 of the quickest on the yahoo list/early cs forum...was tempted to do a 2.0 conversion on it aftert 2 years ownership, but bought

williams 1. never really looked back. all i can say is this car is the embodiment of the 'driving experience' u can get it out of shape if u want, an pull it straight back....throw it anywhere, an its always under control (so far lol) its quick, comfy, has enuf room for a pram in the boot n a couple baby seats in the back, altho is a bit tiresome throwin the kids in teh back.....not to mention all the fukkin weird stains u get on the carpets.


liked the willy so much, i bought a willy 2 as well, but had to sell that a couple of years ago after losing my job, gutted..


will be gettin a new motor just after xmas, but the willy will be going nowhere, like me minis lol....cars for life.

01-02 Blue 95 Clio 16v. Yes, that feels better, imaculate 95 m reg, totally standard, loved it, but nothing like as quick as the black one, ran out of steam at 128 on the clock. loved it but sold to get

Year 2000.. Escort 1.1 bonus lol bought from the auction for £250 :P
Was ok but had a whiney gearbox so had to get another for £30 from the scrappers. 1 year later i scrapped the pile of shit and bought...

Year 2001. My first clio rt in red and paid £1450, bought from a guy in notts with 113k on it. This cars almost bomb proof. Thrashed the fook out of it dailly and never had any probs until 1 year later when i wrapped it round a lampost at about 80-85mph :D So that was wrote off and i bought... ^it had done 128k when i wrote it off^

Year 2002.. another rt but in grey and paid 1k for it. Looked nice in tungey grey and seemed ok. I added 16" mille miglia evo's and lowered the beast lol, plus a custom fitted powerflow stainless exhaust 8) It was noisy as fook but i fooked the bottom end up after a few months so had to get a new engine.

May 2003.. Bought the valver and sold the rt :P Had the valver 2 1/2 years and had various problems with it but i love it so thats that.

2000
Escort Mk5 1.3
Picked up as something cheap to insure after getting my license back...spent about 2k on stereo and put 17s on it..but declined to put any oil in it lol It died!!

2000-2002
Saxo Vtr
Bought my first decent car a 2 yr old saxo which I loved to bits....spent a fair bit on it 15s, lowered, exhaust, k&n, smoothed boot, colour coding etc. Sold it for something faster....

2002-2004 Williams 2

Was looking for somethin sporty with a 2.0 and found this payed 5k for a shitter...got ripped off lol Spent 10k on it was a good quick car but overall not a good buy.

2005 Feb-Aug Banana 2.0

Beast! Spent loads on it..was fast as **** and very individual. Best car I've owned sold to Gaz to put some money in the bank.

2005 MAZ 2.0 HYbrid

Picked up very cheap as a daily driver while I had the nana....mmm leather. Cost too much to run 2 cars though had to go to Stew on here.

2001 - R5 GT Turbo. My first car after passing my driving Test. Was mainly red (every panel was a different shade. Eventually head gasket got knackered. Proper shitter but I thought it was the greatest car ever!

2001 - Another R5 GTT. Tungy grey. That really was the greatest car ever! Cost 1 squillion quid to insure cuz I was 18 so had to go.

late 2001-2003 - scrub

2003 - Nova SR. Cheap, tidy but I hated it so I started modifying - until one night it got modded by a Vectra.

2003 - Another Nova SR. Transfered the parts over and kept modifying. Stopped at twin 40's cuz I couldn't afford anything else. Did a 1.6 conversion but it died. My fault for not doing it properly. Oh well I learned alot and that's what it's all about.

2005 - Another R5 GTT! Spent every week fixing something until I ended off doing a top-end rebuild and new turbo. Eventually had enough when the throttle got stuck full open one night at 100 mph (on my private road). Finally learnt my lesson. I'll never buy another bloody R5 again.

2005 - Valver! - until it got modified by a Micra (starting to wonder about Didcot drivers - do they actually drive, or just aim their car at the destination?)

2005 - two more valvers! One's for sale. One'll get cams - eventually - when I'm loaded :roll:

1998 - Citroen Visa 1.1 RE - My first car given to me by my brother. Slow, dangerous handling and brown....nuff said!!

2000 - Citroen Visa GTI - Wow what a car, essentially a 205 1.6 GTI with a Visa shell. Stupidly fast due to no weight. Sadly had to sell to finance my next car...

2001 - Peugeot 309 GTI - Second best car I have owned. Total minter and one of the best handling cars I have ever driven! A few mods - lowered, complete engne rebuild by Skip Brown, short throw gears. Sadly had to sell due to high mileage (150k) and couldn't afford to keep fixing the damn thing!!

2003 - Peugeot 306 S16 - Bought this off a mate of mine. Nice car, good all rounder. Sadly it had been a bit neglected so things started to go wrong from the off, had to sell it for next to nothing as so many things needed fixing and needed the money for my dream car...

2004 - Renault Clio Williams 0184 - Well after seeing one on my way to school way back in 94 and wanting one ever since, I finally bought one last year and haven't looked back. It is by far the best car I have owned and will never sell it (unless I'm forced to). Cams, chip, ported and polished head by Hill Power, LSD, Devil exhaust with de-cat, it's a fookin animal! Ha
