My Vehicle History

[DanTvts]

Hi everyone, been a long time lurker but only recently signed up.
I know this is Reader's Cars section but i'll include my bikes as well for anyone who is interested.
Only had a bike licence until i was 19 which is when i passed my car test.

I'll start with my first bike at 16

Suzuki Ts 50 - Great start to being on the road, i literally lived on it, slow as hell but i went everywhere on it haha




Then i turned 17 and sold the Ts on. Next logical step seemed to be a DT 125 so here we are

Yamaha DT 125

Before



After



Passed my test on the Dt after covering 15,000 miles on it on L Plates

Celebrated by buying a bit of a toy ( Only have pics of after i rebuilt it )

Honda CR 250



Then bought a YZ250F and Road registered it

Yamaha YZ250F

Before



After



Spent far too much on that one but it was my favourite bike i've owned by far.

Last bike i had was my 300exc at the same time as my first car.

KTM 300 EXC





And now, onto the cars!

As i said, passed my test at 19, bought a 306 Dturbo with 80k on it. Really easy car to start driving in, although the clutches are notoriously heavy!

Peugeot 306 Dturbo





Made a bit of money on it as well after 6 months of ownership so i was pleased


Then i had my heart set on a white 106 gti but couldn't find a decent one. Somehow i ended up with a Mauritius Blue saxo vts haha

Citroen Saxo Vts

This one i spent a lot of time and money on

Quick run down of the performance mods

Bilstein shocks/50mm springs
Powerflex lower engine mount
Kam Racing Adjustable gear linkages
266mm 206 gti brake calipers/braided lines
Cat Cams 708's
Raceland 4-2-1 manifold
Simota Enclosed induction
Quaife ATB diff
Magnex decat/Cat back exhaust
Sparco bucket seats ( for about 4 months until they annoyed me )

A few pics of various stages of its life









Last 2 are how it looked when i decided to move on. I miss that car like mad!

This is my current car. I've owned it approx 6 months now and beginning to get attached to it like i did with the Saxo

Current spec of the car is

Peugeot 206 Gti 180

Janspeed Cat back exhaust
Simota Enclosed induction
AP Coilovers/Rear Shocks
Brembo Discs/Ferodo Pads/Braided lines
Hankook V12 Evo tyres

Made a few visual changes too but most of them are lots of little bits.

Day i picked it up



A few more of the last few months













I've got plans to tart the engine bay up a bit when the weather gets better and a few other little bits and bobs but mainly just to enjoy it

Thanks for reading, any comments are obviously welcome! Dont be too harsh haha.

I like the bikes especially the ktm. Can't say I approve of the cars much though.
