This thread has been done a couple of times but it's always interesting :)

 

Mine - 1986 Fiesta 1.4S with a later XR2i interior and unknown exhaust - it turned out to be an insurance write off that had been repaired really badly, taught me a lot about cars!

Rogue two engines in year!! That's impressive :thumbs:

 

Well, my first car was a 1990 Austin Metro Van (ex BT), which I sprayed half blue (to cover the rusty bits!), it only had 4 gears and a friend also switched the engine with a 1 litre engine from a fiesta. It was crap, let me tell you!! I remember a particular time when I attempted to overtake a lorry whilst going up a hill in Brighton, but the Lorry undertook me the little b@sterd! Te he

 

But at the time I loved it dearly, I even named it Sid!! :stupid:

My first was a Renault 5 Turbo, followed by 4 more 5 turbo's, then a Mazda 323 turbo, followed by 2 more Ren 5 turbo's, then the Sup, and another 2 5 Turbo's since owning the Supra.

 

At the moment I have the Supra, x2 Clio's and just brought a Pug 306 to replace one of the Clio's. Other Clio is going to a mate soon as I've done the big end bearings, then we'll be down to a 'sensible' 2 cars! (and a bike!!!).

B reg (B500 XKK)Nova 1.3 SR. Bought for £2000 in 92. Loved it! in the 3 years i owned it only time it let me down was when the alternator failed.
