This was my baby 
GTE 2.0 - lowered, bigger wheels, full xhaust system, K&N 57i and much more... what a great and fun car that was, had it for 6 years and it took me through the whole Europe
actualy my 1st car was a Trabant, but I don't think you know what that is. All I can say thats the BEST car to learn drive and if you manage that you can drive anything
Now I've UK95, a different story

Did any of your cars earn nicknames though? This was "The Breadvan", after the Passat advert of the time (early 90's) - "shaped like a breadvan and couldn't pull the skin off custard"

True, but it was the only car I made money on. I bought it for £800 and sold it £900. Strange thing was I bought off a family friend for the £800, as this was what they had been offered for it as a part exchange. I went back with the car to same garage 6 months later and got £900 for it, so I guess my polishing did something for that particular turd.

OK here we go, but no pics sadly:
1: F-reg Fiesta 1.6d (non-turbo)- tyres all of diff sizes, missing engine mountings, a death trap really but it got me out and about, so I loved it
2: Renault Clio 16v - my first performance car, and I did 55k miles in it, travelled all over Europe and heartbroken when I sold it. A wicked little car.
3: 1st Scoob!!!!! A 94M Sti2 TYpe RA, er, bit of a performance shock and with Avon ZZR tyres (THE worst in the world) a real handful at times..
4: 2nd Scoob, this time an Sti3. Not sure why I sold it really, but got a good price at a dodgy time so went for it. Nice car, standard apart from wheels
5: Evo 4, frenetic, but I am afraid to say, I found it rather dull and soul-less. Handled better than the Scoob when caning the nuts of it, but apart from that, a less well-rounded package in my opinion.
6: Sti 4 Type R with Blitz induction and a full PE exhaust - dynoed at 313 Bhp - sonic heaven and the fastest car I have yet owned - I love it!!
What next?

This was my '85 Cav SRi, back in '91, complete with new front end after I'd written it off in a 'coming together' with a Bedford van!
It was fitted with beautiful pimp-tint windows, and if you could see the rear end you'd be able to marvel at the absolutely super Peco exhaust! 
...Things you do when you're 18 eh?! Hehe! [Edited by Leigh - 1/6/2002 11:17:20 PM]

Here's another one for you.
My 1984 Toyota Celica 2.0 XT Liftback, it was 1988, I was 18,
and insurance was cheap(er)!
What do you think of the two tone metallic gold/brown paint job?
they don't make 'em like that anymore!
It was a great car though, you'd think I'd look a bit happier
about it, miserable git!

Will try and get some pics up soon.
2000 - 2002: 1976 1.1 Mk2 Escort, never got to drive it on the road due to not having a job thus not being able to afford insurance
June 2002 - November 2002: 1977 1.3 Mk2 Escort. Sold yesterday for £750, but did make a profit on it. Great car to drive, will buy another Mk2 (or maybe Mk1) in June when I have 1 years NCB. Sold this one due to not having a garage to keep it in over the summer + was not worth spending money upping the power/looks etc as had a few faults anyway.
November 2002 - June 2003 Not decided yet, looking for a ****, low cost motor for use over the winter. Probably end up in a 1.1 Metro (Mum had one a while back, have driven one so know how bad they are).
Cheers, Greg.
