My Car History

[jgrich]

Well its colourful!

These were mine and my partners cars since 2007.

Some came and went quickly and intentionally (little dabble in trading).

I think with most cars i was always a sucker and added a personal touch with each (debadged, colour coded etc).

 

Anyway enjoy.

 

My first car, still in my name and residing at my dads as his run around!

The car that got me on this site!

God knows why i did it, we only had one child at the time!

Following the sale of the Sharan, Mrs sent me out to buy a small run around to replace, and i came back with this.

Then we had out trusty estate for quite a while, it was gold dust and wish we didnt sell her

She brought this for herself, and we hated every moment with it!

Then my favourite to date, the zetec-s. Finances forced my arm =[

I took this in for £400 p/x against the zetec-s, and didnt realise the head had gone, so scrap it became =[

I then took a punt on this as it was a bargain! 27,000 miles and £1600. But boy did it drink and tax was rediculous!

Further finances took me to this, but i later doubled my money on it after putting a fair few miles on it!

I then borrowed this from my dad as a stop gap, on two occasions in fact.

Then got this, it had so many optional extras but no where near as much fun as the zetec-s!

Then i paid £200 for this, having only 40,000 miles tax and mot!

This is still our main family car, did some modding as knew we were keeping it, but it will be going soon sadly

Then amazingly brought this 150bhp GTi from a work colleague for £200!! Leather recaros the lot!

This is the second car i have made a loss on, its truly did me over when it all started going wrong.

And i have now just brought this as my daily run around and our second car. Has more mod cons than the 2004 ghia i had!!

Hope you all enjoy. We are in the market for a galaxy next to replace the focus.

I actually went looking for another escort for my latest car, but came across the mondeo that day
