Norman Verona Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 The thread says "CARS", 2 wheel transport isn't a car I'm the same, though, I couldn't even begin to remember the cars I've used. Being in the motor trade I didn't technically own them, just used them. I would take something, use it for a few weeks or months and then sell it. I can tell you the best (if I haven't already done so) Alfa-Romeo 1300 GT Junior Cortina Lotus Lancia Integralle Porsche 911 3.3 Turbo (all black) Caterham 7 BDR I'm sure I've forgotten one, but that'll do for now.

echoz Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Peugeot 306 D Turbo S (Loved this car) died after 20000 miles of notyhing but topping up with fuel, 210k on teh clock in the end, was a great first car! The Wee Beasty, died of a broken gearbox and radiator, scrapped! nissan micra 1.3 auto, had a cvt transmission, sounded like a moped, went like one aswell. The Micra Of Love/Doom, depending on my mood, transmission died again, only had 80k on teh clock, werent impressed as was menna be bullet proof. citroen zx d turbo, some ****s mugged me of my keys and then proceeded t osmash it uip and try set it on fire, sent it to the scrapyard after that, was nicknamed the boat cause it was so comfy inside. current drive is a escort estate in burgandy red, boring car, cant stand it, and the transmission ios going on this one aswell, i have no luck with it it seems! nicknamed the prostitute for obvious reasons. the list of cars i want to own is much more interesting...

adamnreeves Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Datsun 100A - Fastest top speed per litre till I blew the engine up! Truimph Dolomite 1500 - One with the most wood Ford Capri 1600GT4 - 2 twin choke webbers, needing balancing almost every month. Broke the diff doing standing starts Ford Cortina 2.0GL - First time I got a speeding ticket Ford Escort 1.6GLS - Quick at the time Ford Orion 1.6Ghia - nice and boring MG Maestro 1600 - fairly nippy but started rusting the day it came out of the show room Vauxhall Astra 2.0 16 GTE - Last one they did had the 163 BHP engine. Digital dash, 0-60 in 7.2s proper quick at the time Rover 220 GSi - Within a month the head gasket went and the engine melted Ford Scorpio 2.9 Ultima - ugly frog eyed thing but no doubt no car I have since had the same luxury and so quiet inside VW Passat 1.8 20v Turbo - not as quick as it ought to be but lovely power delivery Ford Sierra Sapphire 2.0Ghia 4x4 - I felt invinceable in this car. 2nd and last speeding ticket on this car! Ford Mondeo 1.8LX - I forgot about this one! BMW 323i SE - First beamer which saw me owning a bmw for over 10 years BMW 325i SE - 323 no longer available Vauxhall Zafira - family Renault Grand Scenic - family BMW 328i SE - back to the fold Land Rover Discovery 3.9EFI - green laning toy with my son BMW 330i Sport - performance and luxury BMW 330i SE - more power but now with run flats, comprisming handling to my dismay saw me leaving the marque Westfield SEiGHT 4.6V8 - nothing to say Audi TT Quattro Sport 240 - Chipped to 265BHP, 0-60 less than 6 seconds even in standard 240BHP. Quick but you have to work it 23 cars in 25 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
