Your 'No longer with you' pride and joy...

[_Leg_]

following on from the pride and joy thread and because lets face it, we all like an excuse to post our pics post pics of your dearly departed...

My 06 Mk1 3.2 TT with £8000 (I know, what was I thinking) of mods done mostly by The TT Shop and mostly where you cant see them (still went like a TT though). Went to be replaced by the E92 M3.

Replaced by an e39 530i Sport, but I do miss the Civic. You always do miss your first car though, don't you?

A4069 too. Great road. Nice looking car.

I won't contribute. The only car I have sold on is a Corsa.

No, mine was a piece of junk. The stereo cost more than the car.

Still miss my first car... :/

My old mr2 2.0 n/a uk, had to get rid as the sills had started to rust bad
Quite bad for an S reg seeing as my old K reg import didn't have any signs of rust




Even handled well in the snow! apart from acting as a snow plough.

is that real one? not something that comes around often surely!

My Seat Leon Cupra R. Lowered on Coilovers, the ride was appalling, the wheel change toolkit rattling was part of the daily soundtrack, but it had a great stance and cornered like you would never expect for a VAG. Not a subtle handling car at all, but it had tons of grip and was surprisingly resistant to understeer. It had a cold air feed kit and was remapped to about 265bhp, when the boost kicked in it was crazy, the map was completely "all or nothing", total whiz-bang power delivery, you had to hold on tight and let it surge down the road. Watching the boost gauge needle bouncing off it's limiter never got tiring, but the various sensors failing did! The acceleration in a straight line was impressive, and it would almost never break traction on WOT in the dry. Different story in the wet though!

If driving my current Civic Type R is like riding a well trained horse (ultimate Jinba Ittai) then the Cupra R was like a bull rodeo!

UK Spec Gt-Four - looked for a long time to get a decent one.

That has to be the most useless garage I have ever seen! It's tiny, or is it an illusion?

My first car, miss this like mad:
