My Car History 1999-Present
Discussion
I started driving in 1999 at 18 and started with this little beauty:
Drove it for around 12-18 months and after landing my first half decent job bought this (started as a new 106 Quiksilver):
Stuck a Dimma kit on it (after a bump):
First decent car (approx. 2003):
Thought Vtec was the way forward (2004):
Sold this and went back to another Impreza 2000 classic, but no pics
Moved onto another scoob, this time an STi Blobeye (2005):
Started working for myself, so toys had to go, and got this (2005):
The 306 fell to bits, so bought this from a friend (2006):
Work was starting to pay, so went for something fast and comfortable (535d) (2007):
Also purchased a Clio V6 around this time, but quickly swapped it with a friend for this (2007):
Sold the Lotus and the 535d and got this (2008):
In late 2008 decided to build a track car, so bought this:
Put a cage in, etc etc, and used it for racing in 2009:
Bought this as a toy, but only had it a matter of weeks, for fear of loosing my licence!! (2010):
Sold the race car and the Lotus and got my first supercar (2010):
Moved out to the sticks, and needed something for the snow, enter 2000 W Reg Golf V6 4-Motion:
Got rid of the Lambo and bought this (late 2010):
Bought a Land Rover cheap on Ebay, as a replacement for the Golf:
Part exchanged the old white M3 for a newer one, having hit a 100k miles in the first (2010 I think):
Loved the F430 so much, traded it in for a 430 Scud (early 2011):
Decided to get back into racing recently, so bought this in 2012:
Did pretty much the same as the last one, but this time with ESS S/C kit:
Just before Xmas I traded the Disco and the silver M3 in for this:
There are a good few cars missing from in here, but can't find any pics, most were pretty boring work hacks, but there were two Mitsi Evo MR340s which were a hoot, around 2005/06 I think

Sorry for asking but what is the type/field of company you run? swilding said:
Very nice.
If you could keep just one now what would it be?
Tough choice, but my favorites have been the first white E92 M3, which was manual and a hell of a lot more entertaining than the later DCT model. The scud is a keeper for life, I think, and the first of the E46 M3 race/track car - I've not fully bonded with the latest one yet, and it's pretty much un-drivable (nearly 700bhp/800ft/lb), but sure I will get the hang of it ;-)If you could keep just one now what would it be?

What on earth do you do to go from a Daewoo Matiz to a F430 Scud!? Good work.
would like to know myself. I know a lot of people will say i'm either criticising or being a nosey buggerjust great to see how occupation and change in circumstance has an effect on car choice
what do you do now?
You people aren't very good at investigating stuff are ye?!
Chaps name is in his profile and his username gives away the name of the company for whom he is MD...
Very impressive collection of cars you've had, would love to see the race car in action.
In the construction industry myself, but as a supplier and a lot further down the chain!!
