Recommended Posts

as the title to other cars forum says, were all petrol heads and into ours cars. thought id start a thread were people can post pictures of their previously owned cars. or for those with loads, how about your favourites. ill start:

 

my first car. saxo VTR with high lift cams, cosworth ported head, piper exhaust system, 4-1 manifold. was running 125BHP iirc

then i had this, RX8 231 model standard

which i swapped for this due to petrol cost at the time. citroen C4 1.6 Loeb edition No 217. boring but rare

P1010593.jpg

 

which i then swapped for this. even rarer, ford racing puma 121/500. with LSD, only 80 of the cars were sold with LSD. lovely to drive. was like a go kart. best handling car I've ever driven.

then i bought the zed, probably my favourite all round.

It was somewhere approaching 30 cars last time I counted so lets just leave it at "lots" :D

 

What made the Shitroen a "Loeb" edition then, its hardly a Sainz Celica or a Makkinnen Evo/Integrale is it?? :lol:

 

Loeb probably signed the dashboard or something :shrug:

awww i'm too tipsy to bother posting pics of cars...

 

so,

 

1.4 Pug 306 (terrible)

1.8 Pug 306 (way better, had half leather seats and evrrything)

1.8 Mazda mx5 (awesome to drive, great with roof down, but in the end too slow)

3.0 TT 300ZX (total jap fest - tuned, chipped, running 330ish bhp. but rusty and eventually engine blew :thumbdown: )

1.6 civic vti (scremaing 8k red line, schizophrenic vtec engine but too slow off vtec)

350Z ( nice and torquey, comfortable, but not as fast as i was hoping - maybe i need the go faster effect of a loud exhaust)

Rover 214 Si

Pug 306 GTi6

Honda Civic tyre R

toyota MR2 Roadster (ran a new shape Civic diesel at the same time)

Nissan 350Z GT

Honda S2000

Jaguar XKR

 

the rover was my first car cost me £300, nothing special but got me about, still have a soft spot for it though as i think i fixed most things on it, by the time i sold it the car was like triggers broom. also loved all the hondas the GTi6 and the CTR were great little go karts. MR2 and S2000 2 of my favourites, still loving the XKR. have to be honest the zed didn't do it for me. don't miss it like i do some of my other cars.
