i owned her about 5 years ago now

 

she cost 3k and was a fresh JDM import!

 

but she nearly killed me (but that's another story!)

 

Same as my old supra.... also tried to kill me, on numerous occasions!!

What I sold my E Type Jag, Lotus Cortina, Lotus Elan, TR6 and other classics that I had

 

which are now making a fortune, that makes me very teary eyed... :dance: :dance:

Showing your age there Will. :D What are you? ...like 60, 65 maybe??. :dry::lol:;)

 

 

Seriously though my old man had a TR6 and he loved it too. Great little convertibles. Remember seeing them race & TR7's at Castle Combe many years ago.

Nowadays you have to be watching "Historic" racing to see them on track.

Forgive me, i have just finished packing up after doing security for a Richard Dawkins event!

 

but yes forgive me i cant quite put my finger on what car this is, and wouldnt want to embarrass myself openly with what i believe it to be, but its fair tasty for a first car!!

 

 

My first/previous car :(, although it was slow was good fun,

FTO methinks.

 

Mivec 2ltr one was quite rapid from what I remember.

 

Still on my hit list to own one

ok i was thinking mitsi FTO, but this looks diff well better then the only mivec FTO ive ever seen which was a red one owned by a colleague back at evesham technology when it was around!

 

im pondering why he said it was slow, i thought this car had its equivalent of VTEC yo!

I think the 1.8 and the 2ltr non-MIVEC were slower than hell.

Not my first car, but my first quick car in my early 20's Triumph Vittesse 2 LTR, what an awesome car, 2 Litre 6 Cylinder twin Carbs. That baby could really move I remember racing with a Ford Lotus Escort down Chester road one night from Alty ice rink. The Ford guy obviously thought at the first set of lights he was up against a Triumph Herald, the look on his face was class when I was neck and neck with him away from the lights :teeth:

 

Went on to have 3 Vitteses in total 1 hard top and 2 ragtops.

Was sad to see all my cars go but not as much as the zed. Over a year on and I still wish I didn't have to sell. Told the new owner to join up but he hasn't. It's never been spotted either so no idea of it's whereabouts now or if it's still alive lol
