I bet that was a treat to drive!

 

Loved it, was gutted to have to sell it, but got made redundant and started my own business, so had to be done as I needed an estate car and to release funds.

I've cheated and cut'n'pasted this list from a similar thread from a couple of years ago, with a couple of additions. The first four cars are chronological, then I gave up, so the rest are as they came to mind.

I've a bit of a thing for old-school JDM, and some would argue I've gone for quantity over quality. However,I regret buying only three cars, and of the rest, a good dozen I really regret selling. Every car and bike, I modified someway large or small. I'd be a millionaire if I hadn't bought and modded so many vehicles, but I wouldn't have had so much fun and made such nice friends and met interesting folk. I'm glad I bought a Westfield.😉

Humm from memory here goes:

Mk1 Escort 1300 GT - wrote off 3 times (rebuilt it 3 times) and blew the engine up. Popped in a Burton built 1300 xflow, tuftrided crank, powermax pistons, A3 cam on 40s, with janspeed exhaust - such fun and sounded beautiful!

Mk1 Escort Mexico - loved it a sensible daily.... but still fun

Mk1 Escort fully rally prepared, 1300 full race all steel, cosworth pistons, chambered head, big wing shell etc an amazing machine - picture below. ticked over at 3000rpm, power came in at 7000rpm and redlined(safe) to 10,000rpm - wonderful screamer! Sold and retired due to getting hitched...

Mini 1000 - gearbox failed, stuck on 3rd gear and attempted to blow the engine up, but couldn't do it, replaced gearbox and engine and sold it to a nurse!

Mini Cooper - another sensible daily, but lots of fun

Mk2 Escort 1600 Sport - sensible car used for towing the rally car around - a bit light for that really...

Mk2 Fiesta XR2 - sold to get hitched

Mk3 Escort 1600 Ghia - got hitched - boring!

Mk3 Escort XR3i - was still hitched

Ford Sierra 2000i GLS - wrote of off once and rebuilt it - kids arrived....

Renault Laguna RTS - hated this car couldn't wait to get rid of it

Rover 420gsi - #1 company car - really hated this car, but revv'ed amazingly

BMW 320i - #2 company car

BMW 320d - #3 company car

BMW 120d - #4 company car and my favourite one - plus got un-hitched!

Toyota Rav4 2.0tdi - towing needs...

BMW X3 2.0d xdrive - advanced towing needs

Mini One - wifes - wrote off

Mini CooperD - wifes - wrote off

Mini Cooper Petrol (wife current car) - 3rd time lucky its still going and in one bit....
BMW 420d (current car) - not impressed, cant wait to get rid - electronic steering is awful!

Westfield  (current car) - need I say more.... 

 

I really wish I'd kept the Escort Mk1's and Mk2 plus original Mini Cooper - they'd have been worth a fortune now.
