Show us your old cars...

[RS Grant]

I'll get the ball rolling, but just to warn you all, this is a LONG post and people rolling on a bad boy 56k connection might want to go make a cup of tea while it loads. []

- 1986 Mk2 XR2 (not actual pic): Had this car for about 6 months, properly good banter... until I left it somewhere in Fife and it got trashed. Power: 100bhp (estimated)

- 1992 Citroen BX GTi 16v (not actual pic): Bought this when I lost my XR2, it cost me 80quid and lasted about a fortnight before I burnt the clutch out and left it sitting there. Power: 150bhp (Citroen Figs.)

- 2000 Mondeo 2.0 Zetec: First 'proper' car and it was pretty quick, did a lot of miles in it cause I was working thru in Kirkcaldy at the time.. when I'd finished with it, I gave it to my dad so he could use it in London and not worry about getting dents/dings in his car. Power: 136bhp (Ford Figs.)

- 1992 Series 2 RS Turbo: Always promised myself an S2 and when I got rid of the Mondeo I decided to bite the bullet and go for it.. so managed to buy a J-Reg 1992 RS Turbo, one of 8 that were registered. I absolutely loved this car and threw thousands at it. Power: 167bhp @ wheels, 0.9bar. 8)

- 1999 Subaru Impreza Turbo: After having the RS, I was addicted to Turbo power.. and having friends with Imprezas didnt help. I was getting pissed off at the RS being tempremental in traffic and breaking wee things now and again..... so, I went and bought this from Town and County in Perth. Power: 260-270bhp (estimated)

- 1999 Honda Civic VTi: Got offered a crazy deal for my Impreza above, so I decided to swap for this Civic plus a mountain of cash.. as it turns out, this car was one of my all time favorites. It was quick, handled well, sounded awesome and it never ever let me down despite getting a large amount of VTEC every day. Power: 175bhp

- 1998 Subaru Impreza Turbo: One of my friends in the Subaru Owners Club was wanting to move away from his Impreza for something a little less expensive to run so a straight swap deal was done.. and I set to work transforming the look of the new Scoob...... this was one of my best looking cars IMO, still in the area too. Power: 240bhp (estimated)

- 1993 Honda Civic VTi: Bought this from a guy I knew in the area, had a load of mods on it.. and was quick. So after I blew it up the first night I had it, I went for a B18 conversion on it..... after that it really did go like a train, things werent meant to be though and it spun a bearing and I sold it on eBay and recovered pretty much all my money I'd spent. Power: 169bhp

- 1994 Toyota Celica GT4 WRC: This was the quickest car that I've ever owned and it sounded the absolute bollox, JUN Cams, TD06 Turbo, External Wastegate and Screamer Pipe... awesome, bought this off one of my best mates after he'd spent a lot of money on it. Great fun, smoked loads of stuff in that including a 911 Carrera 4S & new E55 AMG among other things. Power: 400.3bhp @ 0.9bar

- 1992 Peugeot 205 GTi: This was shit, smoked like a bitch, didnt go fast, didnt sound nice and it felt like raindrops would dent the bodywork.. but it was clean and it handled well. Power: 60bhp, max (estimate)

- 1992 Rover 216 GTi: This is the funniest car I've owned, still got it. Its got the Twin Cam Honda Engine so its actually pretty quick and with the DIY Motorsport Induction Kit I've fitted to it, it sounds awesome too.. List of kills include Saxo VTS, Vectra 2.0 16v and numerous other Corsas etc. Power: 120bhp (estimate)

- 1999 Subaru Impreza Turbo PPP: This is the cleanest Impreza I've bought, 40k miles, rare colour, well cared for, low owners... Bought a few parts for it, then got an offer from a guy I know through in Arbroath so I sold it on to him. Power: 260bhp @ 1.15bar

- 1996 Vauxhall Omega Elite Estate: I remembered my old man having one of these when they were new and it was the most comfortable car I've ever been in.. so went and bought one as a runaround.. it didnt drift for shit but it was comfortable, damn thirsty on the fuel though. Power: 200bhp (estimate)

- 1997 Toyota Celica GT4: Bought mechanically/visually standard as a blank canvas to work with, came in the very rare Storm Grey colour. Spent a lot of money on the car and it still needed work done, so I punted it on after getting fed up of it. Power: 317.7bhp @ 1.05bar

- 1993 Ford Escort RS2000: Saw this car for sale on the RS Owners Club recently for a good price so decided to go along for a wee peek at it.. well I liked what I saw, so I decided to buy it there and then..... Has a few mods on it and drives really well. Sold to a mate for him to use as a runaround. Power: 165bhp

- 1999 Subaru Impreza Turbo: Was looking for a car to take dog around, mum could use occasionally for bad weather driving to her work and as a replacement for when I sold the Grey Celica as it was pissing me off.. found this absolute bargain on Autotrader and gave guy deposit over phone without seeing it, 29k miles, FSSH, mint condition... in Essex!! Power: 240bhp (estimate)

..........thats us up to date, currently got the White GT4 WRC, Rover GTi and Impreza STi Spec-D

Jesus - I thought I had owned some cars in my time but nowhere near as many as you m8. [] I certainly don't have piccies of all of mine.

I've had an 'D' Reg XR2 and a rover 214[:$] which was pretty nippy. I have also had a hillman imp, 1978 Granada 2.0L, Mini Cooper, Renault Fuego GTS - with my household stereo speakers in the boot (god I did some stupid things when I was 18) a 1996 BMW 325i Coupe - the newest car i owned and loved it, a 1992 Golf convertible in Black ( looked the mutts), a 1997 Grand Cherokee, 2.6E Audi convertible, 1996 Escort TD Estate (my fishing car or hearse as my nephew called it) and several other cars which I cannot remember. Now I have the car I have always wanted - a scooby. 

Your GT4 WRC looks the mutts but so did your 1999 silver scooby and the 1999 White PPP one.

Holy hell Grant! Thats a fair few cars uve had and a lot of nice ones! Lovely RS, how much did u sell that one for? U shud still have it tucked away in the garage!

[scoobyiain]

1st ever car was a 1990 ford escort 1.4 gl in mercury grey. Had that for 3 years Then

98 rover 200 with a massive sound system,  also owned for 3 years

then

Series 2 rs turbo. had it for just short of 2 years. just sold it last week. 136bhp at wheels

and now

[oobster]

I also owned an A-reg 1.0 Austin Mini in lovely sh*t brown colour,
which I worte-off, followed by a vermillion orange 1.0 litre Metro,
which I also wrote off.

Next came this little 1.0 Fiat Panda - great wee car with the coffee-table windscreen and the deckchair seats!

Next up was my Citroen AX which had the AX GT alloys on it

 

That was follows by a brand-new L-reg Fiat Cinquecento which was lowered & had blacked-out windows. Took a bit of getting used to! 

That was eventually traded in for my Cavalier 1.7 TD - this was lowered on eiback springs and had 16" Dial alloys on it. This was the first car to get my OOB private reg. on it.

That was eventually traded in for my Audi 1.8 - again, lowered with tints + 18" alloys on.  

When I eventually kerbed one of the 18" Audi alloys it got traded in for my apple-green 2.0 'Rapier' HDI Pug 307. Some nice chrome Alba Bank alloys were sourced from America, and this was lowered too.

The 307 was traded in for the current scoob
