Awesome thread!
P!ssed that I don't have any pictures of my old cars! It just so happens that every phone/digital camera that ever held a still of any of my previous cars got lost through many a nights when I got intoxicated, or have sunken to the floor of The Broads after a tussle with a p!ssed off football lout, not too long after England were kicked out of the '06 World Cup: Resulting in him throwing me into The Broads.
1st: T plate Peugeot 306 1.4 se: The previous owner (an Avon runabout woman) had made some serious mods, in the way of some 14" Saxo VTR wheels!!
2nd: T plate (Mk4) VW Golf GTi (Non-turbo), Black, 3 door: Following my fathers footsteps into loving VDubs, and in particular, Golf's (my Dad had previously owned a Mk2 GTi 8v, then to a Mk3 GTi 8v. I thought it only to be right to get the same spec, but in the next model in line. Loved this car to bits.
3rd: 54 plate (Mk5) VW Golf GTi, Tornado Red, 3 Door: After a year with the Mk4, I decided to blow my hard-earned cash into another Golf. I absolutely loved this car, with a passion!! The fact that I have not one photo of it hurts.
So, the Turbocharged 2.0L (200bhp) wasn't enough.
And, then that day came when my brother-in-law brought round his new Porsche Caymen S Sport (Candy White), he let me test drive it...
It was he who told me I ought to "man up, grow some balls, and go for something rear-wheel drive, and preferably with 300+bhp."
Here I am.
