Conrad Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I had my Sup MOT'd today and couldn't help but smile at the young apprentice helping the tester do the MOT. He was grinning from ear to ear when sitting in my Sup flicking indicators and what not, obviously sitting in a Supra was the highlight of his day. When he got out the car he said to me kinda embarrassed 'I bet its a bit quicker than my 1.1 Fiesta' I just smiled and said 'we've all gotta start somwehere' This got me thinking about all the cars I've owned and how I worked my way up the food chain! So what's your car history? Mines as follows.... '83 Fiesta 1.0L '87 Nova 1.3SR '91 Nova 1.4SR '88 XR3I '91 Renault 5 GT Turbo '90 XR3I '92 Rover 220 GTI '94 Celica GT '91 MR2 T bar '91 & '95 Renault 19 16V '92 GT4 '94 FTO GR '94 Celica GT '94 Supra TT' Top of the chain me thinks!

Ive had 70 out of a 2CV, flat out down hill. Scary stuff!!!!! But they were excellent cars in the summer with the roof down pootling along, got the same reaction as I do with the supe, smiles and waves (and ppl let me out at junctions in the 2CV) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffvalenti Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 THIS is some of the things that I've had over the years. Click on the cars for more details. Some have got pics as well There's just too many too list all of them, but it gives you some sort of idea. Supra and the Griff are probably the best, but I really miss the Plymouth GTX, and wouldn't say no to another MR2 turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
