zmurko 7,622 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I've only had 3 so far, well 2 actually, first one was kind of borrowed from my mom for a longer period of time. Photos are just random from google image search. Some years are a bit fuzzy too. Renault Clio, 1998-2005(?) Citroen Berlingo, 2006(?)-2012 Opel Astra GTC, 2012-2014 6 Quote S U N D A Y R A C I N G L E A G U E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy 2,811 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) These pictures do not belong to me... only the one of the Jaguar. And nope, none of my cars IRL are hot pink. My first car was a 1994 Mercury Cougar. Then I went to this bad boy 1996 Nissan 240SX... loved it so much, but not good for children. Went to a sissy "family" type vehicle for a little bit... 2008 Nissan Versa. Finally moved on to something with a little bit of class and luxury. 2000 Jaguar S-Type. This bee-yotch is super old, but runs perfectly fine. Will probably upgrade to another Jaguar once this one finally dies. The second white Jaguar pictures is Mr. Jag's... but I drive it occassionally. It's a 2006 Jaguar XJ Vanden Plas.

Torrid 653 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 My previous to the Vanden Plas. Sentra SE-R Spec-V I can't seem to find any of my other pictures right now. I had a slammed Civic and my first car was a 3rd gen Camaro. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronin 596 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Pics are not mine, but the cars are very similar or pretty much the same then the ones I used to drive, including color. That would be graphite metallic or black metallic ... VW Golf MK2 (my one and only true love). Had a GTD, not a GTI though ... Only had around 90-ish bhp, but it was very light weight (+/- 800 kgs) and had great handling. Getting an old and cleaned up GTI version is definitely on the 'things to do before I die'-list. VW Polo 1.9D. The Golf broke down completely, so it needed replacing and dad was sort of forcing me into the 'sensible' direction, meh... good car, good times with the mates, but never liked it. Got rid of the Polo as fast as I could and got the Seat Leon SE, my 'sporty Spanish'. Would have driven this thing until it fell apart if it wouldn't be for the company car I got at some stage. Loved it and still miss it ... For the 'muricans, this is the one of the euro versions of the Blista Compact. Some models come with a bit of extra pepper up the @rse. Volvo V50, 1.6 D. My first company car ... don't laugh. The engine might have been taken from a tractor, but it was super loyal, very practical and it had the BEST seats ever made (I kid you not ! ). The perfect butler, though a slow and noisy one Right now, Audi A4, 2013 model, the ecobox diesel version. 140 bhp, not much, but the engine has some properly good torque. More then enough for daily (read mega busy) traffic, crappy (very !) roads and long distances (45.000 km on average per year, which is well above the average in a midget country like mine). Best build quality as well so far. Now don't get me started on the list of cars I would like to own .... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if the engines are the same in the US, but they sure sounded nice Down Under 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love loud, gas guzzling cars. I hated having anything less than a V8. I don't think I could ever go back to a V4 or V6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I could ever go back to a V4 or V6. Would love to! I'd get myself a '70 Challenger R/T in an instant At the same time, I would miss our high pitch and nervous engines and twisty roads. Maybe I should play the lottery and try to get rich so we could all have the best of both... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustHatched 12,103 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I don't think I have pics of my actual cars over the years, 1977 Trans Am (First car, looked identical to this but mine had a 600HP 455 cubic inch engine) 1985 Chevy 4x4 (mine was very close in color, also was lifted and had 44" mud bogger tires) 1977 Chevy Monza 2+2 (mine close to color, had 450HP 383 Cubic inch engine, hottie was not included with my car) Those are the 3 favs I have had. 8 Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

rumdig 957 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) First car ever, 1978 Pontiac firebird (same color and it was a huge POS) Then I moved to a 2001 Mitsubishi galant (another POS) By the end of high school I bought my first new car, a 2001 Mazda protege From there I got a truck, 1994 GMC 1500 Also bought this one, a 1992 GMC 1500 For a short while I owned a 2001 Audi TT Around that time I bought a 2005 Chevy 2500HD And I still have this one, a 2007 Chevy Tahoe And I recently bought the 2005 infiniti G35 Only the G35 is an actual picture.

Beez 5,091 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 First was an '82 Toyota pickup. Remind anyone of Blaine County? That's my Honda CR125 on the right. Next up was an '86 Toyota pickup after I totaled the first one. Then I moved up to a full-size '92 Chevy C1500. That's my dog Fester giving me a BJ and my '91 KTM 300MXC at El Mirage dry lake. Next was an '03 VW Eurovan Weekender. I should never have sold it. 2003 was the last year they sold it in the U.S. My current vehicle is a 2005 Nissan Frontier NISMO. I love everything about it except the horrible MPG. All photos are of my actual vehicles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they some of those tiny manufacturer handmade british cars I keep hearing about ? Yup. They are kit cars, you build them yourself using the remains of a 'donor' car. Usually something common like a Ford Fiesta or a Classic Mini. Some more: GTM Rossa: Quantum Saloon (RS Turbo): And theres more Edited November 30, 2014 by skip_rat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
