What did you drive?

[Nath]

what did you drive before your FD was it good bad or not worth bothering with,

i personally drove a rice corsa SRi

so i had quite a big step up in the performance market.

17 - Fiat Panda.  Rubbish, lasted a couple of months.  Change for:
88 Corolla GL 1.3 - Very good for what it was actually.

18 - Toyota Celica GT4 ST185.  I like this.  They look good imho (had a widebody one) and is very good all round though not that fast

19 - Pulsar GTiR RNN14.  These are little rockets and id definatly have another but hate the boy racer image they now seem to have.  Shame.  Great acceleration, but handling isnt all that nice despite good grip.

21 - RX7 FD3S.  I still have one of these, and at the moment dont want to change it.  Well I would, but I cant think of anything else Id rather have for the money except maybe an S15.

Cheers

Fiat Panda 4x4

BMW 323i (b reg)

Vauxhall Cavalier 2.0i

Shoud\'ve kept the beamer - leather bucket-seats were the best ever.  The 7\'s are nearly as good.

I had a 1980 Triumph TR7 V8

It was quite good.

Enjoyed it at the time (except the rampant rust) but the REX is Sooo much better.

17 - Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 LS - Slow as hell but a good little first car. Sold it after about 9 months and the new owner had it about 2 months and it got stolen :rolleyes:

18 - PUG 106 GTI - really liked this car. Modified it with wheels etc etc but for it\'s size was nice and quick. Had it for about 18 months and sold it to a mate and he still has it aswell as his scoob.

19 - Subaru Impreza P1 W Reg. Had a lil accident in this one and kept it for about 9 months and then sold it on. racked up 20,000 miles in this time so I wanted a newer one with lower mileage.

20 - Subaru Impreza P1 X Reg. Bought it with 12500 miles on it and had upgraded exhaust and wheels. Owned this for 6 months and sold in Oct this year with 18500 miles on it.

20 - Rover 216 GTI Twin Cam - Still got this as a run about. Nice little car, leather interior not bad for it\'s age.

20/21 Rx7 FD3S - Not sure how long I\'ll have it judging by previous cars!

Did have the P1, Rover and Rx7 all at the same time for a while - quickest way to loose money

1. 1966 Cal look beetle when I was 16. Standard as brought then spent a small fortune of pink leather seat and building an 1835 engine!

2. Before the Beetle got sold I brought a Reliant Scimitar SE5a - nice v6 purr to that one. The big ends went eventually but it still soildered on without oil pressure for some months. The MOT tester saw the back of that one!

3. Reliant scimitar SE6a with stage 2 modified engine. That was quick (not FD quick) and sounded the real biz when the revs went high.

4. Trimumph GT6 Mk2. brought as a part finished restoration. Given away as a part finished, part finished restoration. Still the rolling chassis was pretty much done and the body was sounder than when I brought it.

5. Rover 420 TDI (for work) - stuff that one througha hedge on ice!

6. Vauxhall Omega- Nice comfy car brought for doing the motorways. Now for sale if anyone wants it. £300?

7. Rover 220 turbo Coupe. Actually my wifes car but it led me here \'cause it was a real hoot to drive but got nicked and trashed.

8. RX7 - delivered tomorrow!

First car (at 22 - didn\'t bother while I was at uni) was 1.1 Pug 106. Cheap insurance!

Then got decent job and bought new Scooby turbo. Splendid car, wife didn\'t like gearchange much tho. Sold that 15 months later for nearly what I paid for it - in the time that Scoobys had a 6 month waiting list!

Then went very silly and bought new Evo 6 when Mitsubishi UK first started importing them.  Great car. wife loved it too. Started doing trackdays with this, and thought I should really get a trackday car, so sold it 13 months later, for a massive loss (which made me vow never to buy a brand new car again), and bought...

A twin ZX9 engined Westfield & a 95 Misty Shogun to tow it with. This was a stupidly fast, scary car (the Westfield, that is . Over 500bhp/tonne, 0-100 in 6.8s :evillaugh. Unless I win the lottery and get a McLaren F1, I am unlikely to ever own a car that fast again.

Got bored of Shogun as everyday car, and got a 1998 Subaru Legacy GTB estate. Great Q Car - 280bhp, 4WD in a fairly boring looking estate body, and could tow stuff easily as well. Had this for a year ...

Then kids came along, trackday opportunity dried up, and sold both of these and bought the 94 RX7. Love it to bits, but going on past performance, I\'ll probably swap this somewhere between 1 and 2 years old. Even tho it fairly terrifies me in the wet, I quite fancy a Cerbera as next car :eek.

Ford Escort 1.3 (e-reg) nice little first car which i eventually killed

Saxo VTR, not a bad car, but not a lot of umph and way too many boy racers have them

Ford Orion 1.4, my first car bought solely as a run-about

\'96 FD3S, bit of a power hike from previous cars, in fact you can add the bhp\'s up and they still dont come close:)

then a little 106 1.5 diesel to replace the orion which was on its last legs, great little car with a seemingly magical fuel tank which never seems to run out:) but unfortunately it might be a write off as i got smacked up the ass by another car a couple of weeks ago, oh well, whiplash claim should buy a nice new intercooler for FD
