My car history to date!
Discussion
Hi everyone!
So, I have been a member on here for a good few years now, and haven't been polite enough to introduce myself and my small car history! I have been to a few Sunday Services now (You may recognise some of the cars?) and bought pretty much all of the cars from the classifieds, but I thought it was about time I get more involved on the forums!
The first couple of cars were the usual Fiesta 1.2's but that quickly changed onto my a 1.5 Honda Civic (excuse the wheels, my "barry" days as it were!)
I had the Civic for about a year, having fitted wheels and suspension so it was a bit more fun! But, as always, boredom got the better of me, so I bought my first (of two!) VW Lupo GTI
Had immense fun in the Lupo, having just fitted Coilover suspension, it handled on rails! Pretty quick round town too!
Again, i'd had my fun in the Lupo, and saw this MINT Honda Civic Jordan for sale, so had to buy it:
To this day I still regret selling it. For a car of its age, i'd never seen anything so clean. I picked it up with 30k on the clock 3 years ago from an elderly couple. At any given chance I would bring it to shows and was even invited by Honda UK to display it on a "History Of The Civic" Exhibition they had at Brands Hatch!
Next up was my "your only young once" car, and it had been a dream car of mine for years, the Nissan Silvia S15 Spec R:
By far, THE best car ive owned to date. Nothing can prepare you for the power delivery, and just when you have got used to that, the extremely loose rear end! I mean, to a point you could not go anywhere near boost in the wet! The car always got alot of attention wherever it went, and I had a great time in it. I sold that just a few months ago and currently in an 04 Honda Civic Type R as a stop-gap if you like. The next car im looking to get in the new year is, if funds allow, an R34 GTR, but if not a good spec R32 GTR or an EVO 8 or 9.
Many thanks for reading, and ill be sure to post a bit more as and when cars change!
