Hi, new fella here, my car history (no pics unfortunately)
Discussion
Hi, I've been on pistonheads regularly having a gawp and a dream at some of the cars in the classifieds. I love 1980's cars (French/German, don't like Japanese cars, not to my taste) and I thought I'd start posting. What better way to post than my car history, which is a bit mixed, although some may say chequered.
First car was a 1981 Ford cortina 1.6 GL (black vinyl roof, 2 spotlights, 2 foglighrts on the front!), then 2 Renault 5 GTTs, a red Nissaan Micra 1.2, a Ford Escort 1.3 Bonus, a Renault Clio 172, a Megane 2.0 Dynamique and I'm currenntly on a Clio 1.6 Dynamique S.
Seeing as I passed my test in 1987, I realise it's not a massive list compared to some, but brushes with Her Majesty's traffic police have curtailed my time on the road for a few years and re;lieved me of a fair bit of cash. Unfortunately down to the antiquated speeding laws we have here, I'm halfway to another ban!!!
Like I said, I love the old 1980s machinery and would love to get my hands on a mint and original 1983/4 Porsche 944, a 1981 Renault 18 turbo or a 1981 R5 Gordini. Not manhy of the latter 2 around and they have to be mint as I'm useless under the bonnet of any car!
Anyway, I hope to have a few interesting discussions on here in the future

The concept of slowing down a bit and/or keeping your eyes peeled has passed you by then?You're not halfway to another ban because of our speeding laws. You're there because you keep getting caught breaking them.
