ripped_fear Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 If we are excluding supra's then my first car a 1.4 Renault 19 GTS. Learnt allot from tinkering with that car and breaking it (gearbox went bang from driving like a 17 year old does). Car had loads spent on it in a very 90's way bucket seats, massive audio, 16v body kit and a nice shiny engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitbox Junkie Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 my first car, mk4 escort, chucked the RS turbo front end and lowered it but 30mm was great fun. 1.6 dual carb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 My stolen Supra is the one I miss the most before that it'd be my mk2 Honda CRX I had in my 20's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest suprasi Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 My MR2 turbo, supra dreaming but too young to afford it. First introduction to rear wheel drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunkmeyer Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Had my Alfa written off so had to find stop gap whilst I waited for the insurance - this was a naughty choice which gave me the most heat I've had off any car I've owned [ATTACH]207732[/ATTACH] But it was awesome (and rusty) 325i sport with the Alpina alloys (Google pic, not my actual car but identical) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I have a soft spot for my 2nd supra I had when I was 17. It was a manual shell, was building it until my 3rd came along, I was also 17 and purchased a complete na auto with a snapped crank shaft. My parents were getting divorced and when the new houses and all went through I was given a choice, I had to get rid of one and was given 3 days to get rid of it or scrap it. I chose to keep the complete na auto and sold the shell to a old breaker in those days in Daventry, Jezz. I still remember the day it turned the corner on his trailer with that black rear bumper. Recently someone on the fb supra parts page saw my name and asked if i used to own such a Supra! And its still around as a shell 8 years on. Jezz sold it onto someone who still has it. And I'm pestering the owner to sell it back to me as I want to finish it as I planned as I'm in a secure position now. Here she is..or was. I really want to own it again, icing on the cake is...my name is on the V5 as the previous owner and that stupidly means a lot as id want a copy of it if I were to own it again. Told my mum and dad about it and weirdly they were kind of touched about it, my mum dosent mind if I bring it back to our new place either! God I had SUCH fun on those warm summer days piddling about with it:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 That's a really tough call, has been a lot of cars come and go! The E21 323 was a lot of fun though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaveriK Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I was lucky enough to own both an Audi Quattro UR and WR, WR shaded it purely for the leather interior and the digital dash. Still love the shape and the sound of the beast on full chat, shame Audi didnt allow factor parts or maybe that has changed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Renault 5 Turbo 2 (the mid engined homologation special) that I totally nut and bolt restored, but it was so mint I rarely used it. Sold for £15K now worth about £45K... Hmm My late mother's Aston DB5 automatic. bought in 1971 for £1200, sold in 1972 for a similar price so she could buy a new MKIII Cortina 2 litre GXL 2 door. Sold for scrap in about 1980. The DB5 would be about 120K plus now.... Hmmm My 1970 Bentley with full history and 32K miles. Bought for about 10K in around 1995 I think. Lovely car, although I did have this unquenchable desire to see just how far sideways I could get it and keep a straight face when people stared. Probably not worth much more now, luckily I sold it before I found out how far "too sideways" was... My in the shed RHD to LHD converted Volvo 244 with 330 BHP. It was a lonely car, because no one would come out in it twice. Even barges like Volvo 240's didn't weigh that much, back in those days. Probably like a 450 BHP Supra. So much fun in it, for so little money, as I had to do everything myself, being impoverished. Taught me a lot about turbo engines, suspension and how little friends really thought of my abilities at the wheel. Stripping it bare taught me that the cheapest performance comes from putting stuff that's not totally vital in the bin. Best moment was doing a tyre smoking start on the main road outside a busy rolling road centre in Blackpool, driving round the corner, putting my 72 year old mother in the driving seat and getting her to drive into the garage and ask them to put it on the rollers as she thought it was down on power. She was good at staying po faced and came back an hour later with a 330 BHP print out and the offer of marriage from the dyno operator. God bless `er...

Spunkmeyer Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Chris - ever thought of having "One night with with Mr Wilson" gala dinner for members to come listen to you recollect some of your stories? You'd have a sell out crowd and could go on tour across the Forum areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
