Memory Lane: Post up your old car pics here


Recommended Posts

Posted

Started driving with a 1.0ltr X reg Corsa, hardly worth mentioning, never mind phtotos.

 

Then onto 06 1.6 Astra SXI (Again, not a lot to shout about)

 

Next I had a Volvo C30 2.0 ltr - cracking little car, just lacked the power I craved!

Following that I had an '05 Seat Leon FR (tuned to the sound of 200BHP, and all the torque in the world, while still giving 45mpg plus!) ;

Sadly all that torque eventually got wasted -

After a bit of rehab, and an insurance payout, I opted for German, 320 M Sport Coupe;

And here with the current daily; 1.9ltr Megane Monaco GP -

Next was a bit of an upgrade; BMW 330 Msport Coupe, fantastic car, miss it a little from time to time-

 

<a href="http://s1373.photobu...5c7b3.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1373.photobu...psc445c7b3.jpg" border="0" alt="330 photo 330_zpsc445c7b3.jpg"/></a>

 

Finally, and current, its the Z :teeth:

Firstly some nice cars Kevin. ;)

 

All those pictures you've posted though could have been posted on here simply by clicking on the "image" icon in the reply box and pasting the "direct link" url from Photobucket into it. That then will display your pictures like below.

Hope that helps for future posts and glad you got out of the crash as that could have been really nasty. :thumbs:

Wish I still had all these cars!

The blue cycle winged car is a Jaguar kougar which I built myself in 1993.

Full race spec 4.2 litre E type engine running triple 45 webers and putting out 315 bhp.

Not a lot but the car weighed 900kg!

Should never have sold the Giulietta, but work moved me to South Korea and it was impractical to keep her!

Followed by a move to Turkey

Then I decided enough of travelling for work and back to the Uk and Spain

The R32 was a great car but I always wanted to tick the M3 box.
