Your Previous Cars (Real Cars)?
As Bathy put a pic up of his rather nice Mk1 Golf i thought i'd see who else has been into cars here and owned anything silly / fun or just different??
I had a bit of a mad phase of modifying and doing all sorts of silly things so i thought i'd stick up some pics: Clio 16v http://www.anything-cars.com/images/...s/CLIOPIC3.jpg Renault 5 Turbo (210Bhp) - This thing was a rocket when we weren't rebuilding it.... http://www.anything-cars.com/images/uploads/mycar2.jpg I always liked the Dimma Clio's and someone offered to swap one with my Renault 5 so i took it. http://www.anything-cars.com/images/...Frontright.jpg Then i went crazy at 20 with a Standard Black Pulsar GTI-R and spent a small fortune on the Engine, Brakes, interior, bodywork, wheels etc etc. http://www.anything-cars.com/images/...ontLOWLeft.jpg Next up were these two: BMW E36 M3 Evo http://www.anything-cars.com/images/...s/IMAG0051.JPG Mitsi Lancer Evo VI http://www.anything-cars.com/images/...s/DSCF0189.JPG Then i had to get boring and sensible so had a VR6 Golf followed by the Golf i have now! http://www.anything-cars.com/images/uploads/OldVR6a.jpg http://www.anything-cars.com/images/...s/GolfGTIA.jpg |

The 80s guy: -permanent (curls) & stripes, "hockey style" haircut -Hollies sand blown leather jacket -acid washed jeans, way too short & very tight -white socks with red & blue stripes -moccasins / "indian slippers" -RayBan Round Metals sunglasses. Later Opel sunglasses to top it all off... :blush: |

I honestly don't think i'd go for another one now, i think the M3 was a far nicer everyday car - I couldn't physically just plod about in the Evo as it cost the same in fuel no matter what so it made me want to go fast everywhere! Just the pure acceleration was awesome, and roundabouts always bought a smile to my face haha! The M3 took far more concentration to drive fast but felt better at the higher speeds as it just kept pulling like a train! I'd love an E46 M3 another day, they just sound so hard lol |
