I'll just post up the Jap ones :)

 

Started out with a Celica SS-I. Woefully underpowered... my first full retrim... looked nice in the end :)

Sold that and got an MR2 GT T-bar. Didn't have it for long as it was, again, not as rapid as I'd have liked!

Once that went, I got the Celica I always promised myself: The SS-III Beams! Import only... 200bhp out of the box and all the goodies thrown at it by Toyota :) Beautiful looking car, in my opinion!

After a year or so, I wanted more power and the options for the Beams engine were pretty limited unless I had thousands to spend. So, with a heavy heart, I sold her to make room for a 300ZX Twin Turbo:

I always wanted the 2-seater version though, so I sold that one last year and got the little Z32 Shortie I have now :)

The only car I miss is the Celica SS-III... she was superb machine, but just not rapid enough :(

I will update with pics when I get chance. I passed my test in 2005 and this is my full car history...

 

1998 Saxo VTR - First car which I loved, cost me a bomb to insure it! I lowered it 60mm and de Chaved it removing the old tints...etc

 

2001 Saxo VTS - Loved this, face lift Saxo in the pearl red finish, this one was already lowered 60mm, I tidied the engine bay up and added a strut brace and a green enclosed. Eventually I stripped it out also so it was proper noisy and fairly nippy, until some old bird crashed into me in her rover 45...

 

1989 Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9 - Picked this up cheap to last me a summer, it was one of my 'dream cars' growing up, bags of character, wish I would of kept this as it would of appreciated so much!

 

1999 Lexus is200 sport - My first grown up car, lovely looking car (still is imo) with this I just really cleaned it up, de badged etc.

 

2004 Saab 9-3 TiD - First diesel for me and my missus to share, needed something better on fuel, I actually really enjoyed owning this.

 

2008 Lexus is220 - Came in as a part ex at work, I love Lexus so I had to have it, so comfortable and well made. Terrible to drive around the town as it has the oddest gear ratios in any car I have had the pleasure to drive.

 

2007 Honda CR-V - Replaced the Lexus with this family bus, cracking car with upgraded wheels, spoiler etc, great car for the kids, fishing etc.

 

2005 Nissan 350z GT - Again, always wanted one, owned for nearly 2 years and I loved it, the sound, the exotic look, sold it 3 weeks ago... Sorry guys!

 

Just purchased my current car which is...

 

2000 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 6 - Another dream car, had it for less than a week, so quick point to point and it would leave most things for dead. It's my daily so I plan to clean it up with a good machine polish and a calliper and wheel refurb as it needs some loving. The car is a Jap import coming over in 2013.

 

Thanks for looking!

This was the car I had before my zed. Modified 3.5 straight 6 kicking out 250lb ft torque and weighing around 1100 kilos , was lots of fun :) Bit too track focused though so I only ever used it for trackdays even though it was fully road legal. The rot had got a hold of it so had a look at other cars, and a zed came out top of the list!

Hers a couple of mine.

 

B18 Civic Vti. No pic of the car just the rocker cover I painted. Was a good car. Loved the VTEC.

Before that was my Nissan Prime GT. Great car that was. Comfy. Quick. Looked decent for a Primera.

My 1984 "B" Nissan Silvia 1.8ZX Turbo, great car.

84%20Silvia%20001_zps5wudqmzj.jpg

 

Had one of these myself, in Red. Not good handling and massive turbo lag but what a hoot. Loved it to bits.

Also had an S13 and S14 but the Sylvia is the one that introduced me to Nissan fun.

^^ Gosh you've had some quality cars Alpinaman. B)

 

Have to ask you though how did you find the M5? Have any issues?

 

I've always kind of wanted one of those and was actually looking at them before getting my current car (an S3). Really only want it because of the V10 engine. ;)

This is my current car, link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/108109-new-car-time-again-my-new-german-whip/
