« on: September 12, 2011, 06:39:15 pm »
Not really posted any pics before - not had chance. Some pics are on my home PC which I will get and update later......you will see some strange differences. yes some  :stupid: buys.

1) MK2 Astra < My first car, 17 killer insurance - so yes, it was a fully loaded GTE look-a-like  :signLOL:



2) Renault 5 < Brough out of DESIRE and it turned out to be a shed. Died after a week. Great fun though

3) Fiesta RS Turbo < Still have soft spot for this  :love:



4)  :surprised: How did I forget......my 2 years at Rover Group  :smiley: employee car scheme



5) Citroen Saxo VTR < Don't knock her!! 6 years old......from new and covered......390,000 miles  :jumping:
6) Spare car - Lotus Exige < BEST THING I HAVE EVER DRIVEN  :surprised: :surprised: took my breath away. In my opinion, the most FUN you will ever get in a car.



7) Audi RS4 < Shortly owned......as then come the family house and billllllls



8) Golf GT TDI < Taken from me  :sad1: lol



9) New GT TDI  :smiley: well MK5 arrives this week

Nice collection.
Could you see yourself going back to Ford or are you happy with VW now then?

Has to be VW.......has everything I want/need!! Would love to try a R32.......buy one, mod it up to some serious BHP, but it's not not practical.

VW GT TDI is perfect for me....

- Economical
- Love the drive of it
- Packed full of goodies
- Love the look....could be sportier
- and after the accident......wow! the VW takes it on the chin. Feel so safe in it
- Just alround great for the family.

Had some fun......now most of the ££ goes on the son, who has already informed me he wants a Lambo for his 21st  :signLOL:

It was all about what come up at the right time.....

Astra, was just quick first car < needed to get on the road asap, plus needed to build the No Claims fast

Fiesta < ALWAYS wanted a turbo....didn't know why lol I was young and though you were know one without one lol

Rover < well.....started at Rover, employee car scheme could not pass it up Brand new £112 per month, fully loaded, free insurance, fully serviced each year, tax the works. no catch, min 6 mths ownership could swap it/change it....

Citroen < at the time seemed the in thing.

Lotus < you would have had it, if you knew the bargain I had on it lol

RS <  :drool: Always wanted one

Golf < Well, never drove one, always seen them about......was a BIG gamble for me! and I'm glad I took it.

Never thought I would be back in a Golf...due to £££ and the rapests they call insurance lol

However, we finally found a middle ground got to a fair price, were ALL happy and I have a new GTi (wish) its a GT TDI  :smiley:
