Didnt grow up in Essex perchance did you Kwak?!
My first car was a 1969 Mini 1000 - I thought it was the bees knees as it was 1995 when I passed and cool to have something "different" - trouble was a 75mph top speed wasnt great when you are 17! Loved it tho....

My favourite cars I have owned have been the last "fast cars" I owned before getting into bikes... bought the 1990 5.0 Mustang when I finished college in 2001 - replaced it with the Skyline two years later...
Skyline had a few tweaks and sported GTR wheels and a TRUST exhaust when I sold it 18 months later.... It was replaced with a Mitsubishi Evo II which I imported from Japan.... Always secretly missed the Skyline tho.... Sold this to fund getting into bikes - I do look back with fond memories and would love to get an R32 Skyline at some point - looks like house purchase will have to come first tho...

Gorgeous '33 there skip, would really love to afford one of those one day!
First car, Mini 1000 "Studio 2". It was a bit pants, blew it's head gasket on the 3rd day I had it, then the exhaust had a habit of falling off. Bought it for £500, sold it for £550 and all I'd done is make the exhaust blow worse and break the speedo! Then bought the pug for £550, spent the £50 change on a decent head unit. The exhaust blows, and its coolant temp sensor ****ed up, meaning it was running really rich for ages before I could figure out what the problem was (damn auto choke!). For the money though, I am very happy, and miles better than the mini! Will do me for a while! With me bike: When my mate ran into the back of it outside my house lol Ideal next car: |

This post got me thinking about my old cars, i didn't know but you can go onto DVLA and click on vehicle info, then type in the reg and make of car and it will tell you if it is taxed or not or the last time it was due.
I looked for my first ever car, an XR2 (yep i'm an essex lad) and it was last taxed in 2002. I would love to get my hands on that and restore it, anyone know how you can find out who the current keeper is. |
