Previous Cars *photo heavy*

[C2K]

I've had quite a short history, excluding cars I bought to break.

1) Rover 214 SEi 16V on an M plate - Tahiti blue 2 lady owners and 40K on the clocks - had it 2 months before i put it into a bush, which had a rock in it. Completely smashed in the front end, split the gearbox the lot. Had to take the hit and move on.

2) Rover 214 SEi 16V on an M plate - stop gap Tahiti blue clone of the first one, much worse condition. 86K on the clocks and loads of rust like it had never been washed through the winters. Got bent over when i sold it as was desperate for the money.

3) Rover 220 GSi Turbo on an L plate - bought from a forum owner and modified it to the extreme - engine rebuild, steel cages bearing rebuild on the blox, GT28R, intercooler, 2.5 turbo back exhaust, AVC-R, 4 pot brembos, triple strut braces etc. Rust got the better of it after 7 years (17 years old then) and the clutches I was led to believe were the way to go were so unreliable it took away my passion for it after 2 track day mishaps with them - was brutal in a straight line, much to the dismay of an FQ360 owner who expected me to be slim pickings - I was running 18psi and nigh on 275bhp at the time. He got the fright of his life, poor mr mid-life crisis.




4) Peugeot 306 HDi - moved to Peterborough in 2005 from Preston to start a new job, and to see the girlfriend and family involved a hefty commute that was murdering the Rover with tyres and petrol being consumed at an alarming rate. Looked for a 3 door 306 HDi and couldn't get to most of them fast enough when this one popped up in Autotrader. I saw it before it was even washed and put a deposit on it there and then after a short test drive. £4200 with two owners and 4 years 3 months old and 69k on the clock. 7 years later it now has 237K on the clock and has been parked up the whole time i've been in SA!



5) TVR Cerbera 4.5 V8 - a boyhood dream come true. If you think your car is fast - you should come along for a ride. 420BHp and 1100 kgs. Bought for rather a lot more than the HDi, but working overseas with my current company made the dream a reality.




6) Peugeot 306 Rallye - bought as an already caged track prepared car. It had been bodged in so many indescribable ways and it was a tapper but the shell was straight and true (i hope it is anyway! haha - not had an MOT yet) - I was partway through supercharging it when I came to SA.

Engine didn't take well to the mods so I 'upgraded' to a GTi6


Didn't last long though=

I remember you posting that on GTI6, didn't you have to swerve at the end of a slip road or something?

*Sold it and this happened a week or so later lol -

P6000s!
