After passing my test(s) in 06 as an immature 16 year old I had a yamaha ttr 250 to get about on, crashed it bad, ruined my knee and sold it. Grew up quite quickly after that :)

Car history:

Mk3 Astra merit 1400 sh*tbox. Quite quick for what it was, still really poo!

Peugeot partner van, great fun, handied it everywhere.

At 18 i got a Mk3 golf gti 16v, fully loved this thing and regret selling.... Nearly spun out off a cliff racing my mate in his rover mini 1275.

Traded it for a mk4 v6 4 motion, was addicted to the v6 noise and the induction noise of the bmc cda.

The day I got it.

Some mods

Killed it at 140 chasing my mate in his 200jp xsara, could afford to fix it so it sat on my drive for 3 years... :(

Emergency car was a mk3 gti 8v I bought for £40, was such a shed I never took any pics of it.

Fancied a go at drifting so I bought an e36 328i from across.

Did some Streeto, hated it and the engine went pete tong so binned it off for....,

This weapon, 96 200sx s14, had been crashed and was standard bar that gash bumper.

Did some of this.

Spent about £12+k and now I have this.

Bought another mk3 gti 8v to daily in 2011 so I wasn't beating the Nissan to work & back.

This was also a shed :(

So the mk5 was purchased! :)

The idea was to daily it, which I did until the muck & cement dust at work was making it look poo. I now daily an 03 ford ranger xlt thunder, black, double cab, leather, air con and mud tyres. I use it to transport this around:

Sorry for the pic whoring :D

Here is my car history guys.

First up a before/after of the Fiesta. Bought as a boggo 1.1:

Most I can remember Pepperpots alloys, Boge springs/shocks uprated, XR2 dash conversion, XR2 Discs and rear beam. De badged, Ghia lower side spats and painted lower half of body black:

Next 1.6 Gti, bought as a non runner boggo standard when I was 18. Only needed a cambelt. Bought the suspension kit a week before the car arrived :? :

Spax suspension kit, Peco exhaust DTM tailpipes!! :D 1.9 Alloys, Air filter, power boost valve, colour coded body trims, round fogs, single wiper conversion.

Then the Series 2, no boggo standard parts, but have the mag feature:

Then the Escort Cosworth, again bought standard apart from 18' Rondalls:

Had great fun with this. Took to the RS Owners day around Donnington track, parade of 100's of them.

Mods I can remember are: Stage 3 rally ECU, Warbrol fuel pump, Green injectors, actuater, Massive air filers, Forge front mount intercooler, mongoose stainless exhaust, AP racing clutch, EBC brakes all round with braided hoses, lowered spring, refurbed the alloys Gold! Twin headlight conversion, custom debadge grill I made and side light air intake, custom rear lights I made, custom push button start and air temp gauge I made myself. Took it to Graham Goode racing to get set-up, the mad himself even drove it!! In the end had 325BHP!

Features in Performance Ford too:

Had great fun over the years. Then moved out of home with the parents and sold the Cosssie. At the time I was running 2 cars, so kept the other....a AX!!! Ha ha.

Then bought my Dads Mk3 8v Gti. Need to find the pics of this...

Next was my Mk4 Gti:

First was a MK2 Clio 1.4 but don't have any pictures of it, ended up going full on max power with it in the form of full bodykit, cobra bucket seats, O.Z Titan alloys, Powerflow exhuast, etc

Then bought my dads Celica GT off him, really liked that car and even the colour started to grow on me! Spent lots on it with a Full HKS exhaust including a manifold, coilovers, HKS induction kit, Khan RSC wheels that i still love! Picture from the garage i p/x it in at for a car for my dad.

I bought another car off my dad again after the Celica, Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo. When it worked it was quick and pulled like a train, shame it hardly ever worked. Spent £4000 on just parts fixing it in the time i owned it and then deceided to cut my losses and sell it.

Moved onto the best car i've owned, Celica GT4 ST205. Plowed silly amounts of money into it and got it upto 380bhp 340lbft

First day of ownership

To the last day

Had an MG ZS 180 2.5 V6 for around 6 months before the bottom end let go, no pictures.

After that i had a Clio 182. Went round corners unbelievably well and surprisingly was one of the most reliable cars i had, until the time came to sell it and the alternator gave up

This takes me upto the present day and the MK5 Golf GTi Edition 30

started off about 1983 with a Cortina 1600E before i past my test had it about six months or so sorry no pics
after getting my first full time job got this Ford Escort 1600 Sport , got nicked from my works car park

replaced the Escort with this MK1 Astra GTE, had it 12 years or so two resprays and a few changes

replaced that with the nugget yellow 16v corrado faded to hell when i got it

had it sprayed and held onto it for 9 years

while the corrado was being sprayed got a mk2 golf 1.8 GL

added my corrado winter wheels and a late GTI set of seats and was happy this as a daily and the corrado as a toy

then this happened

was laid up for a while with my foot

needed a new run about so picked up a polo GT for £520

as i bought it

fitted some mk1 6" wide bbs wheels

drove it for 36K till it dropped a valve sold it on and got my Audi A3 1.8 SE

added some wheels

then some different wheels

and some leather recaro's

got my payout for the golf bump and replaced the corrado with this Porsche 996 C4S in speed yellow

replaced the porsche with my oak green 20v

added some leather now needs a good mop ready for next show season

Replaced the A3 with my Candy White GTI
