sutty2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Ok I may be young but ive owned a fair few motors. My first car i bought was a 1.0 metro. I was about 11 years old. I promtly swapped it for my brothers bike ( he wanted the engine) I then had a vauxhall cavalier passed down to me by my nan (it was too low for grandad)That got torched in january this year. My dad used it to go to work in until i could afford to insure it. My offical first car to learn in was a 1.1 fiesta finesse. I put turbo alloys and body kit on it, 3" peco back box and lowered 35mm at the front and 60mm at the back (not my intention but what came in the kit) My insurance came down a few months after passing my test so i sold it to a friend and we put an 1.8 16 xr2i engine in. Its currently awaiting engine loom and respray. I also had a 50cc scooter when i was 16 to get to work and back on. I traded this in for the escort After my brothers alfa broke, i bought a saab 9000 2.0 turbo for 300 notes ( as my brother was broke) i lent it to him and he eventually bought it off me. I was then GIVEN a mk6 poverty model 1400 escort which had a bottom end problem. I needed this gone as my project was on the way. I stripped it and gave it to a friend who weighed it in, in exchange for picking the Manta up for me. After that, i was offered a 1300 fiesta for 100 notes. Still had half a tank of petrol in it so i used it untill tax and mot ended and ran out of fuel then sold it to a mate as something to learn in... but instead he broke it, scrapped it amd bought a honda crx to insure when he passes his test And thats it really, theres been the odd one here and there but only scrappers not worth mentioning!
