My first car was an Austin Metro for £50. Just like this one.

Then a Mk1 Ford Fiesta. Like this.

Then a few boring company cars.

 

 

Bought myself this in 2008 after wanting one since I was a kid. 1956 VW Oval ragtop Beetle.

Jeez you guys have had such awesome cars! IM SO JEALOUS!!!!!!

 

Ive driven mini vans for most of my life! I have owned 2 cars in my life though.

 

A 2001 VW Cabrio. Not my picture but mine was green and looked just like this one. I had to get rid of it after the motor died on me and i couldnt afford to fix it.

Also not my picture but mine looked just like this one. It was such a nice car. I LOVED IT! Driving it was a blast and we shared a birthyear. I had it for about 4 years but then it started to act up. I replaced one thing and another would go out. I took it to a mechanic and he told me that unless i replaced the entire motor, i would be caught in a loop of replacing one thing after another because of how old she was. Everything was original and she had very low mileage. I still miss it so much...

 

That was 2009. Since then ive driven this

Which my mother gave me.

 

I dont ever really care if i never get married or fall in love or even have kids. The thought of never owning a badass car does make me cry though :blush:

This was the last company car I had. Bit of a real life GTA moment! Rolled on to the roof at 55MPH on a country lane and skidded 100m down the road upside down.

I climbed out unharmed.

 

(I've blurred the image to hide the company name)

Holy Crap Bry!!!!! You improved that cars aerodynamics loads!!!!

 

********************************************************************************* 

 

 

It's a sad situation but there comes a point when you just have to pick sensible over thrills. You may have read in my new intro that I commute 140 miles a day now so I need a car that gets great mpg.....

 

Goodbye

JUqf5eG.jpg

325ci

Petrol

2.5L

6 cyliner

m coupe

32mpg at very best

: CRY :

 

 

 

And hello!......

6gX5LxL.jpg

Pro'ceed

Turbo Diesel

1.6L 

65mpg

 

Although this isn't quite as cool as the BMW it is redeemed by having every gadget under the sun, getting great mpg and has a 7 year warranty and a 3 year maintenance and servicing package.....(time to drive it like you stole it)

Gets delivered Wednesday this week.

I commute over 100 miles a day too Matty and my primary tool for that is a VW Jetta TDI. It gets 47-53 mpg.

I listen to a lot of podcasts, ha ha.

Wont bore you with a bunch of pics, but the list goes a little something like this;

First truck I owned was a '77 F-100 that I swapped a 429 Thunder Jet and NP435 4 speed into. It was a 4x2.

Sold it for a '74 AMC AMX with the 401 v-8.

Then a '72 ElCamino SS 454

Then a '78 F-150 4x4, which I still have

Then a '78 Bronco, followed by no less than 10 more Broncos of various years, of which I still have 3

Then a mix that included a TR7, Porsche 924, BMW 5 series, Benz 190, 2 Honda Accords(don't ask), Chrysler New Yorker, Chrysler 300, Plymouth Road Runner, Dodge Power Wagon, several Jeep CJ 5s, '79 Pontiac Trans Am(the only one in this list I miss) and 2 one ton Chevy 4x4s

First new one I ever bought was a '91 F-150, then another. One red, the other blue, red was 4x2, blue was 4x4

Than a '92 SSP Mustang LX

A '99 F-250 4x4, still have it

A '99 F-350 4x4 Powerstroke, miss it every day

3 '99 F-550 tow trucks, 4x4 Powerstroke 6 speeds w/4.88 gears

A '01 F-150 SuperCrew 4x4

A '02 F-150 SuperCrew 4x4

2 '01 Expedition 4x4s, still have one

A '03 Explorer 4x4, still have

A '07 P71 Crown Vic, still cry about it

A '07 Jeep Grand Cherokee, good riddance!

A '76 F-250 HiBoy, still have

A '79 F-150 4x4, still have

Was just out in the yard, shoveling snow, and there were two I forgot on my list! An '89 F-150 shortbed supercab 4x4, and my '79 F-150 4x2 with the Robert Yates motor.
