Previously owned car thread

[craig_t]

I don't think there is one of these already other than show us your current motor. So, what cars have you owned in the past? Which do you miss the most or regret selling?

My first car was a 106 Quiksilver, that well sadly is no longer with us. So I replaced that with a second Quiksilver:

I then wanted more power/speed but still loved 106's for some reason so bought a Rallye:

Then I got Toyota Starlet GT Turbo, which I modified quite a lot:

During that time of it partially being off the road I bought a 306 HDI, was never worthy of pictures. It was on some cheap coilovers, scraped the floor nearly and I paid £150 for it. It had a broken rear left breaks so there was a self tapper in the brake pipe to stop that on being used....

I then also bought a 1.0 Corsa as a run around:

After selling the 306 and Corsa I bought an S3 as I decided that I wanted something with a bit more luxury and comfort:

I sold the starlet leaving me with only the S3. Then I was buying a house so I wanted something more economical so I bought a Fiesta Zetec S Deisel:

Then got bored after two years (Longest I have owned any car) and got a Clio 172 as a spur of the moment as my friend was selling it:

I now have a MK6 Golf GTD:

The car I miss the most is without a doubt the Starlet, it was the most fun car I have ever had. So much blood sweat and tears went into making it what it was.

Pretty sure there has been one of these, but i'll post anyway-

1st car upon passing my test back in 2005 was and still is as it's in the garage outside a 1983 Ford Capri 2.8i, although it is now a half built 2.9 24v.



As a 2nd car I then got a Rover 220 DS Free of charge, I ran this car on vegetable oil and then it failed the MOT the 2nd year I had on about 18 items so I sold it for £370 on ebay-



I then bought a very tidy Pug 406 2.0 LX for £260 which I eventually sold for £450 as I met my Girlfriend and started doing too many miles-



I then bought another Rover 220, this time an SDi which had such luxuries over my last one as electric windows, sunroof and an intercooler but unfortunately couldn't be run on Veg oil, this was thoroughly abused as evidenced in this picture after taking it offroad down a muddy track at speed for a laugh. It met it's demise when a van drove into the side of it at work on my lunch break.-



I had a brief stint with a Ford Escort Estate at this point too (so I had 3 cars), I bought it for £30 with tax & MOT and sold it a few weeks later for £250-



I then bought my current daily driver 4 years ago for £1400, still have it even though it now passed the magic 200k miles mark last year.



A pretty boring car history full of diseasels by most peoples standards

Been an interesting 8 years of driving. I miss the 330d as it was my first real car, I passed my test and got the Mazda6 to kill 4-5 months until I got insured on the 330d. Was really attached to it.

I miss the LS430s smoothness and I am very emotionally attached to the DB9 at the moment.

First - Fiesta ST with Mountune MR200 kits plus other bits...miss the sound this made with the inlet manifold, proper induction roar!

Second - Honda S2000. Crashed and bent it very soon after buying it. Don't think I have any pictures of this any more!

Third - Honda Civic Type R. Written off in multi car accident on the M6

Then I got my MX5

You must have passed your test a little older than 17 I assume then, if that's your 8 year history? Or do you just have a lot of money?

You

Love the colour of the M3

holy image quoting batman.
First car: Suzuki Alto 1.1 GL its awful, but i like it. its kind of good, because i don't really care about it that much, but i'm keeping it as a spare car, so that i have something to drive whenever i swap cars or mine is in for repair. one day i hope to make it rwd with a bike engine too. I'm pretty sure nobody else will have one

Second car: Naff Ford Mondeo ST TDCI, its had a new fuel pump under warranty and a new inter cooler pipe because that split. its done 108K and i'll hopefully be my first and last ever diesel. i use this as my daily now

my most recent purchase is a naff Ford KA project. got this thing for £150 and i'm fitting a new clutch with my mate. i've always wanted to work on cars and i thought this would be a good starter.

next is a st220 or an mg zt190 next summer. i'm also going to try and find something like a 3000gt, 300zx or maybe even an R32 Skyline when i'm 21, but that will depend on insurance.......

Would I be right to assume you like Porsche?

 

[JRS]

First car was a Fiat Seicento SX, which I can't find any pics of right now. Great little car, would be still going now if it hadn't remembered it was a Fiat and let tinworm take hold. Still, 12 years of dirt-cheap motoring!

And then there was this:

'83 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser. Five litres of pig-ignorant Detroit ironwork. Should never have gotten rid of it - I sold it after I'd decided I was never going to have the funds to sort it properly, only to fall into a job with a pretty decent rise in pay a couple of months later. I really must get another one some day.
