Muzz Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Well here it is, had quite a few considering I have only been driving 3 years. Anyway, started out with a 1.4 Mk6 which I slammed into the back of a 206 after going sideways accross the M25 during a very rainy rush hour...was caused by a pot hole but didnt think I would get a decent response from them so never bothered following it up - same pot hole is still there now . Very odd thing is the woman I hit took all of my details etc, contacted me once but never went through my insurance, even though she was claiming about £3k worth of damage. I then spent a good few months looking for a near mint 3 door 1.6 LX, which is almost impossible to find. After hunting high and low I finally found one in Swindon, so snapped it up at £900 with MOT/Tax. It was totally standard when I got it. Wheels off of 1.4: After alot of money, time and effort it looked something like this (2l, Cossie Brakes, Rear Discs, everything coloured blah blah blah) The biggest mistake I made was taking it to pod, it made me realise everything I had done was pointless when the clutch shat itself after about 1000 miles and I got done by a 1.2 Corsa on the strip. Maybe if I had never of gone to that weekend I would still have it, who knows. Anyway it was for sale for about a week and it went to some guy off here for peanuts (£1900). Decided it was time for some proper power, and the same day I picked up my GT4. RR'd at 265BHP & roughly the same torque with standard boost, it was exceptionally quick after the boost had been wound up. After 2 days of "Jap reliability" this happened: Some hoses and stuff had melted which ended up costing me the best part of £1000 to fix, nice after buying it the same week. After about 3 or 4 months of ownership I decided that this was not the most practical car to have as a poor student. Averaging about 20mpg on a good run and insurance of about £150 a month, lol. I then sold this for £700 more than I paid for it which I cant complain about. Went to a lad about the same age as me and I saw it at Santa Pod during the summer and it was looking well. With the money I bought myself a diesel Corsa (K reg) which died and was scrapped within 6 months of ownership. I then purchased this beast about a month ago, I love it. Most fun I have ever had in a car and the best thing is I couldnt give a shite what happens to it. Aside to the ones mentioned I have also had a Mk3 Astra Estate (Hilarious with 10 people in it), A Renault 5 which wouldnt die and a MK2 Fiesta which my brother got confiscated by the LAPD (nobber).
