I'm only 25 and I've never (oh god that's done it) had a crash.

 

Had the rover for 3 years (my probation before stepping upto real cars)

And I was without a car at all from June 2003 to Aug 2004.

 

So yes 4 cars - but I've driven lots more :D

You try driving a 50bhp car all week and a 400+BHP car at the weekends. A true variation of extremes!

Im afraid i think i have the most embarrassing. First car was a Ford Ka. Now bare in mind that im 6` 3" weight 19 stone and have played rugby since i was 7 (now 22), you can imagine how rediculous i looked it that thing. Was a nice shade of purple in colour though. Does that redeem me. I do have a picture of me next to it that was gonna post but couldnt bring myself to do it.

 

Gaz :limp:

Im 21 and been driving 4 1/2 years. I have always enjoyed swapping and changing my cars. Got to admit though, the Supra arrived from japan last august and its the only car i plan to keep. Its the only car i have ever owned/driven that i can honestly say i love. Best thing ive ever bought :thumbs:

My first car that i actually owned was a 1300 Van den Plas (Flashed up Austin 1300). I then bought a lea Francis 14 Light saloon (made in 1951). i was *SO* pleased to get 100 MPH out of it down the dip in the Chester Road just before Sandiway.... I kept that some time, then I think I bought another 1300 Van den Plas and souped the engine. Shortly after the futility of FWD cars became apparent and I went through my "sideways everywhere" period, had several accidents, some memorable, some totally crass. By that stage racing beckoned so all my time and money went into trying to kill myself at an early age!

Time to confess (NO laughing)

 

1st road car: 4 yr old Skoda S110 saloon (rear engined poo). In fairness to the little thing, I just couldn't blow it up !! beleive me, I tried HARD

 

2nd: ford Cortina 1600XL Mk3, Pure luxury it seemed

 

3rd: Pontiac Firebird :music: Bit like a 1975 supra really :) see .... I started on the supra trail long ago :looney:

 

sold the FB when we got married & went thru probably a hundred heaps of scrap with a few gems thrown in amongst them (jags, daimlers, Chevy, fiats, alfa, ......not had a roller - YET)

Some of you are 19/20/21!!!!!! 'kin ell what the hell do you pay for insurance??????????????????

 

My first car was a 1983 Fiat Uno 45, in 1998. Progressed to a Clio 1.4, a Pug 306DT (still my daily driver), Escort XR3I Zetec, 270bhp MR2, then the Supra TT.

 

Driven some intresting cars on the way, most vivid were a Lotus Esprit Turbo and a Tuscan.

1st car was a Renualt Clio. My most reliable car except for the supe was a Seat Ibiza

 

The worst was a Ford Laser which literally fell to bits on my trip around australia, It also came with an ants nest in the boot. ( I think they kept the car from falling to bits :p )

I have also had the following cars:

 

2nd car: Renault 19 (rear tyre blow out on a43 just south of silverstone buggered up my rear stub axel)

 

3rd car: Renault 19 (got written on in a head on collision when someone overtook and ended up on my side of the road - ouch!!!)

 

reverted back to my 2nd car - which I gradually killed over about 45k miles in the space of 9 months

 

4th car: a hyundai accent MVI!! crap car, had it for 3 months

 

5th car: a hyundai coupe 2.0l se - fab car had it for almost 18months! it was yellow (my first taste of head turning!)

 

6th car: swapped my coupe for a polo!! WHY?? you had to drive everywhere in 2nd to get any accelleration - needless to say I had it for 4 months only

 

7th car: Ford Puma which I did really like but I then decided I wanted a Supra, but need to wait for those points to come off

 

8th car: Renault Laguna which I bought for less than 1k to save my pennies to buy a Supra (or an FTO!)
