The shopping trolley? That's a nice pug.
Used to have this as the family project until my family split. :(

my 1.1 106.

cheap as chips, never broke, and I actually enjoyed driving back when I was 17...

no pics, but it was a silver T-reg zest2 y0.

[DeanAngell1234]

My current car is my favourite..... http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd499/DeanAngell1234/Saxspeed3.jpg MK1 VTR! Soon getting a E36 Beemer though so that might change :P

[Dom]

The only car that I ripped apart and built from scratch.. The Silver 106 GTi that I turned into a head turner.. JP4, Pugsport, Custom leather seats. If I could go back, i'd have rebuilt it.

This was mine. Wish I had of kept it tbh,

[saxo_singh]

I miss my saxo which was my first car I bought in 09, sold it this year august.

Was bought as a standard furio and spent so much on it. I would buy it back anyday! Was fed up of spending so much on repairs and doing 300miles a week I was scared to drive it thinking it would break down.
Was so much fun to drive :(

My vtr is my first car, but I love it, taught me so much in my 13 months of driving and it handles amazing compared to all the other cars I've driven haha

Thanks, and that is gorgeous!

On the subject of oldish Porsches. I don't know if you've seen the "Urban Outlaw (http://www.reelhouse.org/mos/urbanoutlaw/urbanoutlaw)" movie, but that guy is my hero.

[motocrossjord]

Tbh i dont miss any of my car's as apart from my first they've all been VTR's.

When i was an idiot @ 16 i brought a C20XE Corsa B redtop, shit car but it was f-ing fast! Prob miss that more than any of the VTR's

I miss my old CR 125, had it for couple of years and it never missed a beat unlike the modern shite.

Edit: Thinking about it, i miss my aprilia rs 80, had some mental adventures @ 16 on that thing and some epic chases. Wish i could turn back a few years :( :n:

Thank you - glad you guys like her - she was owned prior to me by a Director of a German company that used her only at weekends and had some nice work done on the engine, suspension and brakes. I don't recall the specs but she really shifted and not being a Turbo power was on tap when you wanted it with no lag. Rear spoiler came up at 50kmh or at the flick of a switch if you wanted to cheese someone off at the lights ... not that I did of course...OK maybe once or twice.

Here's a photo during a "circuit" weekend somewhere in France with some pals (old GP circuit I think but can't recall which one).

Why would you buy a old golf when you have a STI & MR turbo? Jw?

I do love my current cars And they are quicker but the golf had the old school look to it and the way it drove and sounded was alot of fun.

I've had over 30 motors so its hard to pick a favourite motor I've had, or even find a picture! But at a push I'd have to say my Zafira GSI just because it was a flat out 7 seater! Was running 250bhp and could show up a few motors.

I hate to admit it.... but yes it is, young and foolish :P

It had a DTM backbox plus slightly overfueling
Which turned the rear bumper a creamy colour.
T-cut was the only thing I knew about to return it back to white.

I know better now :y:

Had an bug eye Impreza Sti before this and then bought the Evo 8mr brand new in 2005 (wish I could afford to now). It was in a whole different league to the Sti. Anyone who says otherwise has never owned or driven both! The Evo was massively faster in every way. A truly awesome car (even if I say so myself) :)

[LVC]

Enough lights?

lol...in my defence it was in the early 90s and lots of lights was still very much the "in-thing" :homme:

I do miss it and I reckon in the future it will certainly be a classic. Not sure what my next car will be, but hopefully something that will hold its status for years to come much like the old whip!

I've only ever owned one car in the Quiksilver and I still own her but I know I'll miss her when she's gone. I have two cars that I miss though:


http://imageshack.us/a/img585/8839/dscf0824aa.jpg

(1999/T) Renault Laguna V6 RTI - basically had the same out of the Clio V6 (albeit slightly less powerful at 194bhp) but still had enough power to piss off BMW's and such like. Very much a sleeper and very upset when old man Griff sold her after nearly 9 years of ownership :n:

And this one:

http://imageshack.us/a/img17/4222/dscf0471r.jpg

(1997/R SEAT Ibiza) Bought by my Mum in 2000 and kept for a further 12 years until a couple of months ago. I grew up in it, learnt to drive in it and and found freedom in it when I passed my test before buying the Quiksilver. Starting to regret not buying it off the parentals and toyed with putting an R32/BAM lump in but knew that it had a whole list of problems that would probably bankrupt me tbh. Genuinely love this old bus :(

[Mr_X]

I will never forget this car, or love another one anywhere near as much... I love the Mauritius 'R but nothing ever comes close to my first car :( Nearly swapped it for my Astra SXi and £300 my way but didnt, regret it so much, spent about a year trying to get in touch with the owner of it after that so i could buy it back and give it the 16v it deserved :(, recently scrapped though which makes me wanna cry more! Sooo many good memories, and used to batter it about country roads and through woods ect, and had some funny times in the car haha, should never have sold it, but sold it due to the cheating ex getting it keyed up :(

Miss you Cedric the Citroen haha!
