1994 1.4 16v Rover 200 Hatchback, red. �650 6 years ago. Not a bad car really, lasted about a year or so but the gearbox died in the end just after I put a new clutch in it. Annoyed! Hehe. Luckily I had a nice blue Rover 220 Coupe 2.0 16v sat on the driveway I'd bought to do up

Fun times!

Look at you guys with your 6 cylinders! Do that in the UK and they will r*pe you for insurance lol

1995 Jeep Wrangler. Went in with the rents to get it, was bone stock when I bought it. Spent too much money from weekend jobs lifting it, adding tires and bumpers, and tops and the like. I liked offroading back then, still like it today. I really wanted an mg or an old triumph but teenage dreamin is just that. dreaming. I sold it when it got rusty and bought my 318i straight up with the cash from the sell. Its weird how those things hold value.

What, No pics?

My first car was something i bet lots of you never heard of...
it was a 1983 Opel Kadet

when i got my driving license my grandad gave it to me (it was back in 97')
i killed it about 6 months later - blowing its head gasket.
