My Cars

[John1.4]

hi all, I thought i'd write up a project post for my new car, but also show you all what came before...

Part 1-

my first car - Citroen AX, bog standard apart from a spoiler later on, and the (rare?) 106 3-stud alloys, here seen entering my first car show - FCS 2006 at the proving grounds



after moving to uni in Croydon, I moved on through a few different models of ax, first a gt500,

she never ran, or saw the road, with a blown head, cracked block and no interior or electrics, she ended up scrapped when I bought this...


a 1992 Gti, which I tooled around in for about 2 years, and having gone to castle combe for a few shows, and my first track session, was 'unhappy' with how little I could do to it - it was too good with nothing to sort or fix... igh:

next came a stream of ax's, a couple of zx's and a xantia

the xantia was my 12th car, and my 3rd diesel, for the 1st 2 months I had to drive it essentially as a NAD, as it kept popping boost hoses, when I fitted a boost guage I found out why..lol it'd been messed with, it had a modified 9? bosch pump, larger front mount, and only 28psi of boost it didn't even smoke...





alas, my wife then passed her test, and I needed something that we could both drive - in comes the ax again...lol can anyone see a recurring theme?



with a custom leather interior - made by yours truly


which brings me to my most recent (and car number 16...lol)
