My car history. A perfect 10 + 1.
Discussion
Evening all, first few posts tonight so figured a good hello would be better served with my motoring history (skipping photos of the dull stuff). Since 2001 I've had this lot although I only learned to drive when I was 22 so I shudder to think how many I would have gone through if i started at 17!
1997 Rover 220SD
- had it for 3 months, got a new job and bought a brand new.....
2001 Ford Focus 1.6 Zetec
- great car, and is still going strongly for my mum!
1994 Toyota MR2 G Limited (Anniversary Ed)
- now we're talking! Superb car in mint condition with the only problem being the number plate fell off. Brilliant to drive, more than enough power (or so I thought) and was the centre piece of the best roundabout slide in history. Magnum PI would have been proud.
1994 Toyota MR2 GTS
- Looked great in all white but had a slight reliability issue and exploded in 45 mins after buying it.
1994 Toyota MR2 GT
- Furious power, great looks and never failed to make me smile.
1999 VW Golf GTI (150bhp)
- Nice and reliable. Lots of toys and the miltek and BBS CHs made it look a little more sporty than it really was.
2004 Honda Civic Type-R
- Best gearbox, best engine, worst suspension but a genuinely fun car. On the test drive I'd bought it right after I hit VTEC in 2nd for the first time and soon after when I hit it again in 3rd.
1991 VW Golf GTI 16v
- Lots of spec to this including Sebring exhaust, G60 springs, mega bright lamps with new loom, half leather seats, genuine wolfsburg plate surround and original paint panels and wheels. Fantastic car and want another one.
1994 Toyota Celica GT Four
- Every TRD suspension modification, decat exhaust, HKS mushroom, HKS SSV BOV, full factory recaro interior 282bhp, 262lbs with no remap. Best driving car I've ever owned.
2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Type-UK
- Subtle street sleeper, great MPG. Sort of.
2002 VW Golf V6 4motion
- No photos of the current car but its solid, makes a great noise and returns 30mpg on average and looks ok in black. All the toys and it'll do before I go mad and buy something with afterburners again.

Some lovely cars there.
Personly the MK2 GTI is my favorite, what I was wondering is did you have them in the order listed and how comes, as there are some very differnt types of car there?
Good question! Yes all in order from 2001 to present day and there certainly is a wide variety. I think it's because I sway from sensible to banzai quite often but always want to have something a little different. The GTI was the best to own but the GTFour was the best to drive by a long way and had the best build quality.Personly the MK2 GTI is my favorite, what I was wondering is did you have them in the order listed and how comes, as there are some very differnt types of car there?
