What cars have you owned?

[agw_01]

What about the Hunter you sold to that guy?

[BlueRover]

1973 T-reg Hunter GLS (Holbay ) Killed by rust

That's the one. I couldn't keep on top of the bodywork cost wise as I had a young family to bring up... So it's your fault

[agw_01]

If the car couldn't take 5 minutes of being driven properly it deserved to die... you should thank me for helping you kill your hairdressing mobile or you'd never have ended up with the coupe

Out of interest how many times did you change the oil in all the time you owned it? or change plugs or ...well...errrm lift the bonnet? (except when you thought it was using a little water but you didn't known why hehe)

PS: best quote of all time -

while looking at the boost pipe to inlet and I tell him to make sure the clips are tight Dickie says .. yeh yeh I know, it's cos water goes through there doesn't it.

[Ross9]

lol I did post in this before (had to look at page 1 to check)

1986 Mk4 Escort 1.4 LX (RS turbo replica inside and out, couldn't have been more "boy racer" ) lol

1995 214 SEi (great car, indestructable despite the k-series publicised issues, couple of years of track days, crail days etc with no issues)

1994 220 Coupe Turbo (bought stanard and unmolested wth 49k on clock IIRC, ended up 331 bhp, 381 in theory with the gas on 296 lb/ft and 1050kg, sold it, it got blew up, sold on again and now doesn't show on any reg checks, gutted)

1997 Subaru Impreza WRX STi Type R (2 door coupe import version with adjustable diffs, close ratio box etx, 292 bhp)

1998 VW Golf GT TDI 110 - solid, economical, slow, dull, nothing else to say, good car for what it was.

1992 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR, roughly stage 1 , 350ish bhp, by far the "best" car I've owned, had wanted one for years yet in hindsight the Subaru was more enjoyable, though not as good a car.

1998 Vauxhall Calibira 2.0 16v Ecotech ( looks the part, cost £550, does 400+ to a £53 tank, lowered, alloys, great soundsystem and DVD player screen) can't complain costs buttons (plus have the wife's volvo to play in anyway)
