  4. 18! I didn’t have a penny to scratch my arse with when I was 18.
    Luckily I got knocked off my bike requiring 30 stitches in my calf. I got £1000 compensation and then bought a battered Mini…. My first car! I didn’t spend all the money on the car. I kept some for pissing against the wall :D

  5. I still can't believe that Mini was only a tenner.

  6. It was 650 quid IIRC. Spent another 100 on the loudest stereo available and stuck some Halford alloys on it. Cool as fuuurk man….

  9. Always wanted a Mk2 Golf GTI 16v since I passed my test. It had to be 3dr in oak green. Could afford one at 18 but every insurance company just laughed at me. When I turned 21 the insurance companies stopped laughing as loud and just quoted me an eye watering £1200 third party F&T, bearing in mind this was 1994!. Set off to buy one when I spotted an E30 BMW 325i Sport in red which was surprisingly considered a “family saloon” by the insurance companies. So I bought the BM instead and paid £600 fully comp for a car with 2 more cylinders and 40 extra BHP (and a very light rear end!!!). Don’t regret buying the 325Sport instead of the Golf, but regret selling it, there worth a fortune now! The Gti 16v was one of those cars that got away, but I still have a hankering for one!. Trying to find a decent original one is quite difficult these days. Good luck with your search, it’s a problem, but a nice problem! 55FA41A8-8DD9-4737-9E07-7B060DFA28E6.jpeg 09498891-5147-4E6F-AF0D-1CBC1281E84E.jpeg

  12. I had 7 or 8 mk 1 GTi's including a couple of campaigns, and only 1 mk 2 GTi back in the day. Says it all about which I liked most, but I have to admit the mk 2 was a better car. These days the mk1 would need to have a turbo conversion though.
     
  13. Oh yes, they certainly did!!! As you can imagine from a 21 year old with more enthusiasm than skill the backend spent more time going forwards than the front! No traction control back then, just padded undies!!:laughing:

  14. I’ve owned 6/7 325i’s. Including a 2.7 Alpina. Best engines ever in a road car that I’ve owned. Here’s a few pics.
     
  15. Owned an M3 too. Really regret selling it

  17. Yup. Best handling car I ever owned/drove.
    Sold mine for £7k in 2004, nothing less than £70k now. Doh.
