my short list

[stevmo3691]

had a 1991 pug 106 1.4 - engine knackered

 

1993 citroen ax - got when i was 15 - specced up with central locking, gt alloys, front speakers etc - traded in for a later car - got £300 and paid nothing - bout £100 for mods and sold most off

 

1991 j reg corolla 1.6 gl executive - lovely motor - 64k when it unfortuneately suffered from a rotten ftont suspension link arm which gave way mid corner causing fish tailing (and mangling of £300 worth of alloys) and then a skid into side of a 06 plate mini (at least i killed something worthy of dieing young) but since front end was smashed, n/s rear wheel was at angle of bout 40 degrees she was scrapped (sadest moment of my life)

 

drove the ax which was still in the garage for bout a week but missed 5 door and power so traded for a y reg corolla 1.6 vvti GLS which i got for £1450 + the ax with just shy of 90k on the clock

did 5000 miles in 5 months, clutch started slipping when warm, one front fog smashed by stone, melted rear light and sold for £2100 (test driven cold when clutch worked perfect )

 

shared a w reg vectra 1.8 CD with my older bro. argued alot so he bought my half off me (only cost £1300 with 59k, f/s/h, pro fit thatcham cat alarm, sony stereo system with 6 cd changer and mini disc changer in boot - which i kept and put some shitty old cd player in it when my bro decided to get an auto 2 months later)

 

bout a n reg rover 214sei in british racing green which i modded quite alot but found it just bit to harsh at times (specially since i lowered and stiffened suspension) and as my folks are in pain alot and i drive them places i decided to shop for a car i have always wanted and bit more comfort - rovers sitting on my drive waiting to be bought

 

bout a p reg ford escort 1.8 ghia x 5 door in aubergine with 2 prev. owners, full history, 81k on the clock with all mot's to back it up. only couple bits let the side down which was usual arch rot (just starting) and handbrake needs adjusting.

 

plan to make it a comfy racer so will be ghia inside but GTI outside and RS under the bonnet

 

quite a few cars considering i've only been driving 18 months and got banned from driving indeffinately 2 weeks after i got the escort so gonna spend my ban doing up the escort so its ready for me when i can drive again. Doctors are a nuisance sumtimes

btw if anyone has a Ghia x full leather interior or a GTI body kit (skirts and spats) let me know but obviously travel is restrictive of my bro and me havin enough to pay his petrol (has a subaru legacy outback auto with an engine prob so cant get better than bout 22mpg on a good run)

also if anyone has any suggestions how i can improve my car more let me know (more details of what i have got and have planned in the show us your motor forum)
