Yes in that sequence too. I went through a real petrol head phase for a few years but just suddenly stopped enjoying it, I've never figured out why but it was probably because every trip in the Pontiac or Capri started with a visit to the petrol station. I bought the Fiesta as penance and believe me it made sure that I paid the price for the earlier extravagances, on reflection self flagellation would've been quicker and easier.

It's never a 'six', let's put it back

Would you believe incredible skill, patience and careful planning? Thought not. I was ill at the time, coming of my last night shift at 6am after a 60hr week, in November, down a back-road, used mainly by beet lorries... No twitch just... whoa****... backwardsupsidedownditch... AAAAatchoOOO... bugger... sniff...

 

I get bored to be honest JV, but I'm far better than I used to be. Guessing the Laguna and my current Kwack will be with me for some time. Best Car and Bike I've ever had.

 

@Phone: You said it, Pops... :P

You only live once fella and it`s compulsory to waste it on something [money that is ] Cars/Boats /Bikes/Fishing tackle et all

Mine

Ford Cortina 1.6L

Colt GSR

VW Scirroco gti

Pug 205 gti 1.9 kept her 8 years 150,000 3 steering racks great handling motor but no warning of the limit...Scary

Vauxhall 2.o gsi quick in a line not round the curves Scarier

Prodrive Scooby mental licence losing tool had it 3 glorious years befor ethe other half said it had to go

Mondy ST Tdci pace and frugal

Mondeo td lx estate slow as but bombproof had it as a work vehicle for eleven [i think maybe 12] years service tyres actuator valve mobile shed but great for all that .

mates had Cossies/Intergralies Bmers etc so had a play in most scariest by far was a customers Skyline imported new and breathed on by a jap tunning house yoshimura or the like 640 horses or there about from memory,he took me out for a spin never been so scared in my life aint a great passenger [who is] but that thing was mental as was the fuel economy...made the scooby look positively frugal .

Happy driving my old shed now though...you only have so many lives face.... and i now have money in the bank instead of the car dealer Steve
