1963 Mini Seven, complete with fibreglass covers where the structural sills should have been!! :eek: Kept it a year, and swapped it in for a 1965 Austin 1100 with a Cooper S engine, special metallic green paint and a vinyl roof - babe magnet in 1977!!
Had some nice news this week. My 1996 Peugeot 306TD, sold to a mate's mother-in-law for £600 with 150k on the clock was used on a scrappage deal for her new car last week. With 195k on the clock (original clutch and fuel pump!!) it fetched £2k under the scheme leaving her with a shiney new VW Fox. Now that's what I call a deal!! |

Lancia Delta 1.3! I swore blind I was Carlos Sainz ;-)
It was ace until the gearbox fell out... I should have learnt from that about Italian cars but it takes a while... |

Red Mk3 ford escort.
It was ace...until 1 week after me passing my test, some old bloke threw his renault estate at it and wrote it off!! ...and they say the young 'uns are the worst drivers! Hmm, I was 17 he was 63 and he was the one that was looking round the footwell of his car for a casette whilst travelling downhill towards a junction!! decided he'd try to replace the rear bumper of the escort into the back seats...and almost did it, my mum, little brother and the shopping stopped it from going any further! |

First one I owned a MkIII Cortina 1600XL sunburst red rostyle wheels firestone semi slicks blue alloy Gabriel shocks all round, twin electric aerials, and what must have been the first onboard graphic equaliser with red leds on the dash in 1980
Plus twin 110 watt wipac hair raisers on the front and rectangular fogs underneath, as was the rally set up of the day. Vast improvement on driving my Mum's renault 4 or the Daf 44 variomatic my Dad bought her she refused to get into |

1973 VW Beetle 1200 (standard) FFW 805L. Powder blue with no extra's at all. Total vinyl interior and rubber floor covering which was good as the Lee Challenger crossplies it was on meant bugger all grip, so after you'd pee'd yourself negotiating a roundabout at 5 mph, you could hose it out . Also discovered it had concrete in the heater/sill channels whilst trying to work out why the heater didn't work. Probably long dead now but bizarrely I spotted another Beetle (looked like a 1300/1500) registered 2 digits off (FFW 803L) in Barnsley a couple of months ago. I do NOT really miss that car, it was crap but it taught me loads about oversteer.

A beautiful Vw polo, saloon. That bad boy in 'Mars red number 2' had it all. A massive 1043cc. 185 tyres- jees that was wide in 1991. Wheel arches, spoiler in contrasting black and a gear selector that i had to build up with washers so it wasn't like stirring porridge Combine that and a radio cassette pumping napalm death no wonder the chicks came running, or was that ran away
Me and my best mate rocked. He had a blue shuvette, missing bumpers so his dad 'fabricated' some out of black guttering |

Oh, I dunno, Rover kept the flame alive until they went under, it's weird their 75's and 200's/25's/MG ZR's seem fine but there are loads of gammy 400's/45's/MG ZS's around our patch yet the Honda Civic version seems immune. And have a look at the rear arches on any pre-2005 Mazda MX5, you WILL find metal maggot starting to have a nibble, honest. But yes, generally it's just not fair is it, fancy the kidz being brunged up not knowing the joys of sculpting aluminium mesh and Isopon P38 , garnished with a layer of Plastic Padding.
