Realised the other day I have no photos of the Audi 80 I owned for a very brief period back in the late 90s. It wasn't anything too special, an '89 1.8S silver with blue cloth interior, but I still wish I'd taken one of it

Anyway, I can imagine this will rarely happen again now with the prevalence of modern phone cameras, but what pic do others wish they had to remember an old P&J? Either of the car itself, or on location somewhere special

I have no pictures of my metallic brown 1983 Opel reckord estate.

That car was a proper workhorse in the days when I moved address twice a year and could fit everything in it.

My first car frown took several when I first bought it but my mum double exposed the roll with pictures of her class then I crashed it. So all I have is one picture of a classroom with a ghostly Nova in the background

Now that's raised a question. What was the difference between one of those and an '83 Opel Ascona?

biggrin

That's the problem with my old Audi, I never got around to taking a pic when purchased, and it suffered a horrible death involving an out of control Renault 19 after just 3 weeks

It wasn't a P&J as such, but I never took any photos of the 106 GTI I owned for about 3 months in the early '00's.

Weird as I've taken photos of all the other cars I've ever owned, but not that one for some reason.

I have owned 37 cars or vans.

I don't have pics of 2 of them.

One was a cheapo POS not bothered about.

The other was an RS2000 that got stolen before I'd got round to it.


I now take pics all the time anywhere and everywhere.

The Ascona was a cavalier. The reckord was a Carlton (and rwd)

Pretty much exact like this. But it majestic brown. And rusty.

Aha yes, I should have remembered that seeing as I grew up in Opel-friendly Ireland. Still remember the first Omega I saw in 1987

I don't have any decent pics of my Mk1 1800 Gti, only a few of my E30 and none of my first Mk2 RS2000.
Hopefully I'll find the albums kicking around one day

Got plenty of the rest of my cars.

No photos of my old 2CV. I know where it went after I had it, and I'm tempted to see if they still have it.
