My carstory!
18 cars in 9 years!
Car #1 The first car I got when I passed back in 2003 was a 1986 Ford Orion 1.6CL with a complete RS bodykit, this car however went to the highway in the sky after I crashed it into a late 80's Mazda 626.
Car #2 was a super-comfy 1987 Toyota Camry 2.0 XLI, this also went to the motorway in the sky after I crashed it in a tree late one winter night.
Car #3 car brings us to a 1989 VW Polo 1.3 Fox in which a woman rearended me while I was waiting for a green light, I told her what I thought and got her info.
Car #4 brings us to a 1988 VW Golf GL, this was a great car to drive but I never really felt safe in it for some reason and that brings us to..
Car #5: A 1994 Renault 19, All I want too say about it was that it was the worst pile of crap ever to have 4 wheels!
Car #6: Was a 1986 Volvo 740 GL now this I felt safe in mainly because it was built like a tank but as with all my cars so far there was a catch with it, this one burned up £100 in petrol in 6 days so I sold it.
Car #7: A 1995 Opel/Vauxhall Tigra, had that for a year before selling it cheap just to get rid of it.
Car #8: 1991 Volvo 240 GL.... Another pile of crap!
Car #9: 1998 Opel/Vauxhall Vectra Estate, greatest car I have owned! drove 55.000km in 10 months (don't know how many miles that is) until the headgasket broke
Car #10: 1989 VW Corrado G60: 220bhp monster! Perfect as a trackcar, not so much as a normal roadgoing vehicle..
Car #11: 1988 Volvo 760 GLE I miss (I did some research and found it had the all swedish B280F engine) but I could not afford to own a car that used close to £600 in petrol every month.
Car #12: A 1985 Volvo 240 All I care to say is thank God I found a guy stupid enough to buy it.
Car #13: 1995 Volvo 460, great car real fast for a 2.0 but everything needed replacing on it.
Car #14: 1997 Renault Megane Coupè 1.6... Cheap to run and insure.
Car #15: 1996 VW Passat 2.0 estate... Great car to drive and pulls like mad for a stock 2.0!
Car #16: 1988 Mercedes 230TE.. 134hp 2.3 8V.
Car #17: 1996 VW Polo 1.6!
Wanted a car that would be cheaper to run and insure, enough said!
Car #18: 1996 Toyota Corolla 1.3 (current car - 08.11.12)
Bought this from my boss and I love it! :-D
Thanks for looking!

Re: My carstory!

Re: My carstory!
The Corrado G60 went almost too well, the stock power output of that was 160hp, mine had 220 and it had the handling to match the power..

Re: My carstory!
Well I lost my drivers licence in the G60 so that's why I'm not too crazy about it
