My (Your) Car History
01. Nov 2009 at 00:53

Just thinking through some of the cars I have had. Maybe missed a few, if so, will edir later.

Viva HA Van
Chrysler Alpine 1400
Hillman Imp (Project-Never completed)
Chevette (1256-Stage 3 Tuned)
2000 Sportshatch Cavalier
Astra GTE
Sylvia Turbo
Daimler Sovereign 4.2 Auto
Ford Escort Van (Business)
Granada 3.0 Ghia Auto
Jaquar 4.2 Auto
Viva 3 Door
Honda 550 (P) Yosh 4 into 1 pipes and cams, sounds bloody awsome (same I hadnt passed my test)
Camaro SS (5.7) Auto
Opel Kadet 1200 3 Door
Pontiac Pariesienne (5.7) Auto
Cavalier 2000 4 Door
Mini 1000
Opel Manta Coupe
Fiat Uno
Carlton Cdi 2000
Carlton Diplomat 2000 Auto
Omega 2.5 GLS (4 Door) Auto
Omega Elite 3.0 (4 Door) Auto

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 Roll Eyes

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. Undecided

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

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 Roll Eyes

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)

Nov 2009 at 11:14 That's 2 of us that's addmited to having a Chrysler Alpine Mike. I had a 1400 with a duel choke webber on it. 85 mph flat out with a tail wind giving a helping hand. The HA van was quicker off the mark and top end, even hand better (had it on 2 wheels on the odd occasion seeing how far the grip went (Michelin tyres at that)
