Astra GTE was a Brand New B plate for Aug 1st.  Had so many problems it put me off Vx for a while.  P/X'd it for the Sylvia I saw in the showroom.  Lost £20.20 on the Astra with 8000 miles on it    Had the Sylvia from new as well, had the Daimler S/H at the same time, Sold the Sylvia to buy a business,

Only had 2 Fords.

Grandad was a P/X for the Daimler as part of a business purchase.  No Reverse, had the heads rebuild, tosser who did the deal didnt tell me the HG was failing on one side.  Had a new exhaust fitted, (They didnt clip a fuel line back in place) car caught fire and burnt out the same day. 

Van got nicked to do a robbery and was found wrecked in a field 2 days later. 

Pontiac Pariesienne was by far the fastest thing I have ever ownded or driven or been a passenger in.  (and the list I have deiven or been is long, inclluding the last of the lotus esprit turbo, cossies, ferrari daytona, 260 bhp Stage prepared HS etc etc)  Never did find out what the mods/cam fitted were 

Viva was a 3 door, bought it for peanuts, put a pair of 3 series BMW steels with Mud and snows on it, by far the best thing ever for the 87 snow drifts/fall, used to go out looking for deep snow just to have a play.

But looking down the list seems I have allways been a Vx/GM fan more than any of the others.


Cars (Wish List)

Allways fancied owning a Senator or Carlton GSI
Tempted for an Elite Estate 3.0 or 3.2

Fancy somerhing small, nippy/agile like a road/rally prepared 4wd (nissan did one cant remember model thogh) or a VR4

Still wany a 400 Ci Transam/Fire Bird (Smakey and the bandit)

When the Elites run dry, was fancying a 300C, not so sure now, so choices seem to be Lexus (Merc/BMW)
