nice pick up tom, if you haven't gathered i have a thing for proper 4x4's!

Yeah i guessed with the landy comments

Had some really good fun off roading nothing too serious just sneaking along green lane type of stuff  :wink:

But lost a fortune had it when the whole 4x4 prices dropped and i had knocked it about abit and its running costs were just not worth it hence why i went for the 182 but i don't regret it and would nt mind a cheap 4x4 again

Not an exciting car life, like some..

My first car, before passing my text (in 2002) was a N reg box shaped Ford Escort...

My second car, still before passing my test, was a Vauxhall Corsa (called Clarence).. he was the beginning of my modding life.. big bore, alloys, front splitter, ice..

My third car, (a year after passing my test) was, and always will be my baby, Toyota Mr2 (called Hugo).. modded and very much loved..



My forth car, i had at same time as Hugo, (as used Hugo as a cruise/show/meet car) was a Proton Compact (called Percy)..

I sold Percy to get deposit for my Fith car... Gordon Golf  :smiley:

Nice car !!!

Cant believe the Golf mk1 GTi was stolen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  - they're are pure classic cars - i love  :drool: :love:


To caz

I loved MR2 when i was about 15 - the Turbo REV 3 i wanted so bad... very fast 0-60 under 5 secs i believe

Always wanted one at 17 but after finding it was a no-no, i stopped taking interest in them.

Is yours a T-Bar then ?

I've had way too many cars over the years...

These are my current cars:


The day I bought it two years ago... (its changed a little since then :D)


1969 Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior (with loads of trick Alfaholics gear on it)


New Beetle 2.0L Highline

Some of my previous cars:


My RS2 (one of the ring trips too)





My old 1987 Carerra Sport 3.2



My old 2005 Subaru WRX Prodrive (+ other goodies)


My old 1991 Saab 900 Turbo 16v Aero




2006 BMW 320 Si


The other Saab :)

I have not scanned the cars I used to own when I lived in the UK yet... but I think I still have a few of the M2 Golf GTI...
