Your car history

[rallyist]

Crikey. Some of you chaps have owned more cars than I’ve had hot dinners! Where am I going wrong?

MG Midget (74) STILL own it.
MG BGT (72) STILL own it
998cc Mini (87) died, an Audi killed it – to this day I won’t travel in or ever buy an Audi. No, not even an R8.
1293cc Mini (’96) moded to 115bhp – hilarious. Sold – worst day ever. Vowed I’d never sell another car again.
MGZR (2002) died – miss heard the pace notes. erhum… (stares into pint)
VW T5 Camper (’07) STILL own it
Subaru Impreza WRX GB270. The family made me sell it – 2nd worst day ever vowed again never to sell a car
Subaru Legacy Spec B A family turned up – STILL own it
Mk3 Focus RS – WILL NEVER SELL IT! They can’t make me.

So whilst I wait impatiently for my collection date here is my list:

2000 Peugeot 306 2.0 HDI Turbo

2004 Ford Focus 2.0 Zetec (couldn’t insure the ST170!)

2000 Seat Toledo 2.3 V5 (170)

2010 VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI 170

2010 Honda Civic type R GT

2016 Ford Focus RS

The last one is a picture of my actual car, the others are stock images from google but are the correct colours.

I’m quite proud I’ve never opened a car under 2.0!

I wish I was a Ford employee Bobcat.

I do have friends and family who work at Dunton and Dagenham plants but I wasnt lucky enough to get a job there.

My mates and me all had the Mk3 Escorts when we first passed our tests(many years ago) and I liked tinkering about with them.

Nowadays, we all have ST’s, RS’s or the new Mk4’s.

It’s good to see that you guys can remember what cars your owned, even down to the years & colours.

Bobcat do you own a Ford Garage by any chance?

Your list just reminded me I had an Orion, remember I had trouble getting insurance on it…………….. Then it got nicked.

[bobcat]

@mad-mick, no I didn’t own a Ford Garage, I would have like to have done ?. I was very lucky to be able to change car often, in the early days my Father worked for Fords and he was able to pass on his discount ?
