Great thread :thumbs:

 

I started in 1990 with my first car, a Triumph Acclaim 1300HL, i can feel the jealousy :lol: That lasted me 5 years after which i traded it in for a J plate Honda Civic Saloon....no pics of either as they were very dull.

 

I saw sense after a couple of years with the Honda and traded it in for this...

Was standard when i bought it and slowly modded it into the above. Owned it for 6 years and it was a fantastic car.

 

Sold the MR2 to buy my Skyline...

Spent a consider ammount of money on it taking it to 406bhp, was a fantastic car and owned it for almost 4years.

 

Sold the Skyline to buy the Zed....

Only had the pleasure of owning the Zed for around 18months and sold recently due to having a baby on the way and needing 4 doors and more than 2 seats and bought this last week to replace it...

 

Mitsubishi Evo 8MR FQ320, an awesome piece of kit which will hopefully stay with me for a few years and give me alot of fun...

do you prefer the m3 or the zed?

 

I'd actually choose the e36 M3.

 

Anhialates the zed too!

 

Thing with the M3 was it was in totally mint condition and I owned it for just over half a year and put about 300 miles on it as I didn't want to use it. Only had 50k on it and had spent all it's life in the garage of a pilot.

 

The Zed is no where near as valuable in terms of collectability, so let a friend buy it to store it in his garage :)

 

Being my only car and taking into account the above it wasn't really viable (in my opinion) to keep it. I'm happy with my Zed anyhoo and can see the M3 whenever.

I started off with a 2002 1.2 Corsa SXI which was horrible in every way :lol:

 

2 years later I brought a Cliosport 182 Trophy

The Clio was a brilliant little car. I sold it after 2 years to get the Zed but I would have another one any day.

I seem to spend most of my time here now :lol:

Some nice cars in this thread!! Was reading last night so i'll post some of mine. I'm 30 now, and had around 25 cars so far, so I wont bore you all - these are a pick of my favourite. All these cars were bought completely standard and I have made the changes you see in the photos!

 

My first "modified" car (actually my 2nd car) A VW Polo 16v :

I was going to put a 20vT engine in, but went the easy route and bought the SEAT Ibiza Cupra :

I then sold that and got a new Mazda Rx8, which ended badly :

I tried to buy the Ibiza back, but the guy had wrecked it so I bought a Leon Cupra and put the Cupra R bumpers on it etc :

I then got a Mini Cooper S :

An Audi TT :

Then I had a kit car with a 1000RR Fireblade engine and gearbox as a track toy, so I had a focus to run around in and tow to tracks :

A BMW 123D (tuned to 280bhp, MEGA fast and 50mpg!)DB38537A-10D3-4188-980A-3198C3BDD8F2.jpg

I then stopped buying nice cars to help fund a house purchase with my girlfriend, and renovations from 70s chic to modern taste!! Currently I have a cheap BMW 118d

 

We have this MR2 in the garage (not sure what to do with it!)95C57930-75BF-4234-9C01-DFC25A7064E5.jpg
