    A Picture tells a thousand words

    Deep breath guys, here are all the cars Ive ever owned.
    These are all in strict chronological order. Starting in 1974. Descriptions under each pic.


    [​IMG]

    Comma Van
    This was the first vehicle I ever drove when I was 14. It introduced me to drifting at an early age on the
    gravel roads on the farm where we lived.


    [​IMG]

    Mini Clubman 1000
    Library pic ( Google ) This is exactly like my very first car which lasted just 2 weeks. I slammed it into a ditch
    and wrote it off. I have just one small picture of it somewhere but cant find it.


    [​IMG]

    Mini Clubman 1000
    This was the insurance replacement for the Beige Clubman. I managed to smash into my mate on a grass field
    doing hand brake turns in this. 18 year olds eh?


    [​IMG]

    Escort 1.3L
    My first and up to now only rear wheel drive car.


    [​IMG]

    Scirocco 1.6 GL
    My first Vdub and a revelation after the old ford. Unfortunately some idiot ran into it head on and almost
    killed my then girlfriend ( now Mrs magz )

    [​IMG]

    Needless to say it was a write off. [:^(]


    [​IMG]

    Fiesta Ghia 1.1
    Back to the Ford Camp. My Wifes choice.


    [​IMG]

    Astra Merit Diesel
    My first Company car whilst working as a rep.


    [​IMG]

    Chevette 1.3
    Our second car when we were first married ( still running the Astra )


    [​IMG]

    Atlas Grey Mk2 8 Valve Full Jetex K&N
    Id waited and waited for a GTi and at last the dream was a reality.


    [​IMG]

    Tornado Red Mk2 Digifant 8 Valve
    P/Xd the Atlas for this Digifant. It was never as quick and I eventually had to sell it to fund my own business which I still run today.


    [​IMG]

    Mk1 1.8 Lhasa
    Replaced the Red Mk2 with this and loved every minute of it until it was stolen from the car park while I was at work.


    [​IMG]

    Mk2 8 Valve
    Managed to find a rare Lhasa Green Mk2 with the Insurance payout.


    [​IMG]

    Saab 9000
    Oh dear! Turned 40 and thats all Ill say. Car had nodding dog and straw hat on the rear parcel shelf.


    [​IMG]

    Impreza Turbo Wagon
    Back on form and the first of 2 cracking Scoobys [:D]


    [​IMG]

    Impreza Turbo 2.0 Brembo upgrade K&N Afterburner Ex.
    Loved this car! Spent a fortune on various upgrades, then VW launched the R32.


    [​IMG]

    Mk2 1.6
    This was a stop gap while I waited for the R32 Factory Order.


    [​IMG]

    R32
    Really liked the R but it wasnt as agile as the Impreza. Plus it was starting to drink me out of house and home.


    [​IMG]

    R32 Tdi Swap
    I think you can see what I did next. :o


    [​IMG]


    Mk5 GT TDi 2.0
    Seemed like a good idea at the time but was short lived. I missed the revs.


    [​IMG]

    Pug 205 Diesel
    A stop gap whilst I waited for the Tornado DSG factory Order.


    [​IMG]

    Tornado Red GTi DSG.
    I ran the GTi for just over 2 years when I got the itch for something else.
    The rest is explained 2 pics below. [:s]


    [​IMG]

    Pug 205 Inca Diesel
    A stop gap while I waited for the 159 factory order.


    [​IMG]

    Alfa 159 Ti 2.2
    Make up your own caption here. Wasnt one of my best decisions. I blame Clarkson. [:$]



    [​IMG]

    Mk3 2.0 Dragon Green
    Alfa was bought back by the dealers as it was due to kill me with depreciation.
    This old Mk 3 was in my possession for just 1 day as I spotted my current car in Autotrader the day I collected it.



    [​IMG]

    Candy White GTi DSG Bluefin re-map.
    Used the Mk3 as PX and an expensive taxi to fetch my current pride and joy. I love DSG ! It also taught me
    never to buy a brand new car ever again. [:$]



    [​IMG]

    Project Wreck
    How times change. Its hard to describe but I feel the same amount of excitement about this impending
    project as I did waiting for my R32 to be built and that was my first ever brand new car.

    Thanks for looking. :)
