A mixed bag...

Ford Escort Mk2 - I say the Stang will be my first modded car but I added stripes and two sets of spots to this...leaked like a sieve
Ford Fiesta Mk1 - loved it. wrote it off
Ford Escort Mk3 - hated it. it endured
Vauxhall Cavalier Commander - superb, loved it, buckety seats with logos, silver, weighed a ton but went like no tomorrow. sold for bike
[bike - Honda NS400 2-stroke triple. pocket rocket, sounded like three angry wasps in a coke can]
[bike - Kawasaki ZZR600. extremely fast. hated corners especially with a passenger. came off this one]
Ford Orion - functional. needed to pick my (now) wife up from work
Rover 216 GTi - was fun
[bike - Kawasaki ZX6R. proper bike]
Honda Civic Coupe - was everything I thought I wanted. wtf did I know...
Honda Accord Aerodeck - supremely comfortable and large. dodgy auto box
Ford Mondeo ST24 - loved it, was black and moved at a reasonable pace
[bike - Kawasaki ZX9R. proper and bigger bike]
Peugeot 306 - needed a mile muncher. ex-post office. 0-60 in 17.9 seconds....
BMW 325ci - loved this one despite its braking problem. liked to switch ends on itself
[bike - Triumph Speed Triple. had attitude and was easier on the wrists than an out and out sports bike]
Mini Cooper - the wife loves Minis. was called Frank
Subaru Impreza WRX - didn't need much excuse to return low teen mpgs
Vauxhall Vectra Estate - huge. utterly massive. moved a wardrobe with it, all doors shut
BMW Z4 - exploring my feminine side though seriously fun on nice days
Diahatsu Terios - was my grandfathers. capable but small
Mini Cooper S Clubman - see last Mini. Frank2
BMW 320 Coupe - still got this one. more reliable than last so far. planning to keep this when the pony arrives
Nissan Qashqai - wife's new car, no name as yet
Wow, two years since this was posted. Doesn't time fly... :eek:
Other than the addition of the latest and greatest there's no change. Still got the beemer and Qashqai.

I will probably miss something but here goes:

Saleen S197 Supercharged Mustang


i loved the saleen stang , really loved the back end on it ! stick up a pic :thumbsup:
Here it is with my EVO:








It was really the Saleen that taught me so much about cars, got her when I was 26, she was the basic Saleen S281 model so no supercharger and was like 320HP.

Our very own Mac on these forums sold her to me!

Then it started, I fitted coilovers, watts linkage, loads of suspension bits. GT500 brakes and that big great whopping suoercharger which took her just shy of 600HP. Did it all myself and I learned a lot.

What a car too, it never once put a foot wrong in the 50k miles I owned it, what a trooper. :)
