So what were you driving when your Wedge was brand new. ???

My Wedge is a 1991 and that year I would have been driving a Vauxhall Cavalier (companysalesrepmobilething)

Angie had a MG Metro ( we all live and learn )

My 390 is an '88, so I was still on my first car, a 1275GT Mini. Happy days.

My Tasmin 200 is a 1982 & I would have been driving a Lotus TI which was an uprated version of the Chrysler Sunbeam hatchback.

At the time we had various rally teams staying at the hotel for the RAC Rally and my back axle was nicked to get a similar car through the Grizedale forest.
I got a new back axle & a drive in their car through the forest, proper brown trouser stuff.

My 400SE is a 1990 and I was driving a ....








Saab......






but it was a 900 Turbo.

Mine is 1988, so I was driving a Sierra 4x4 estate as a main car and an MGB roadster as a weekend car

I'd be driving a Merc 190E 2.6 (with bodykit ) as the company barge, and a rather tasty 1360cc MG Midget for fun.

In 1990 when my wedge was new, I was only 14 and like Matt-Man was playing with radio controlled cars.
At the time, My mum had a Porsche 911sc and my Dad a BMW 735se - I think I have guessed where my passion for cars comes from.

My first car was not until I was 17 in 1993 and that was an Orange 1.0 Austin Metro. My Dad and I very soon resprayed it blue and I then proceeded to give it big alloys, blacked out windows etc. Thats right - I used to be a boy-racing chav (1.0 metro aside).

See my profile for pics of the metro and all my other previous motors.

I think in 89 I was mid twenties so either still in the 3.0s Capri or a 2.8 Supra. Both much rear wheel drive fun, but the toyota was great for trips to spain towing a power boat at a steady 90 for 24 hours

1988 built wedge, so at that time it would have been a 1969 Volvo 144s and a 1976 TVR 3000M.

'87 390SE... I'd have either getting the bus or using a '76 Mini 1100S Clubman. A year later I was into bikes and didn't get another car for three/four years.

450 SE built 1990 and registered in 1991. I was a trainee surgical appliance fitter and I still had my 1.6 L Capri with 3 litre Capri Ghia alloy wheels. God I loved that car.......almost as much as I love the 450.

My 350i is 89 meaning either I was in a Celica or a 3 litre Capri.
