What car did you come from?

Toggle sidebar Toggle sidebar
My history since 1995 (almost 25 years, gulp):

Ford Fiesta MK2 1.1 "Firefly"
Renault 19 1.4 GTS-X Chamade (the absolute worst car I've had)
Peugeot 106 XSi
Seat Ibiza Cupra Sport 8v
Seat Ibiza Cupra 20vt (heavily modded by the end)
Toyota MR-2 Roadster (also modded)
Nissan 350Z Coupe (296bhp version)
Ford Focus MK2.5 ST-2
Renault Clio RS200
Suzuki Swift Sport (ZC32S)
Ford Fiesta MK7 ST-2
Ford Focus MK3.5 ST-3
Ford Focus MK3 RS Mountune M380
VW Golf MK7.5 R
Hyundai i30N Performance

All manuals, clean license (somehow), only one been off the road after a "bump" (Mid engine and RWD + diesel on road = Brown trouser time).

Ones I genuinely miss are the MR-2 and the Swift Sport, the ones with the most character/fun factor.

Oh that's pretty easy. There were not many cars in my life until now.

'88 VW Golf II 1.8 Manhattan (the best car I had till my N o_O)
'99 VW Golf IV Variant 2.0
'12 VW Golf VI Variant tdi 1.6
'19 i30N hatch shadow grey
 
Mine from oldest to current

2006 93 MX5 Eunos
2007 94 MX 5 Eunos (Favourite)
2011 2005 RX8 ( nice but ticking time bomb lol)
2012 2005 987.1 Boxster
2013 2010 987.2 Boxster (PDK) (Joint Favourite)
2017 2015 M135i (Least favourite, interior lovely but driving it left me cold as I couldn't tell what it was doing)
2018 2011 987.2 Boxster
2019 2019 i30 Fastback N Shadow Grey (1st FWD car which I am slightly sad about to break the RWD series but blessed with a baby daughter and love this car to bits may become a favourite over the years we shall see)
 
A little bit embarrassing this lot but here goes
Fiat 128 - fell apart with rust.
Mini clubman - fun but problematic.
Toyota Corolla Executive - quality but dull to drive
Citreon zx - actually a good car, trouble free.
Skoda fabia vrs - surprisingly fun, but had its fair share of expensive problems.
Renault Megane tourer - electrical nightmare.
Nissan Qashqai - worst of the lot, riddled with problems.
wife and I still own a citreon C1 - perfect city car, no issues, had it 5 1/2yrs
i30N - Awesome! I feel lucky to own this car. Makes me smile every time I look at it.
In my defence before the i30N I’ve always owned motorcycles to get my fix for fun.

Respect! That is quite a list. B5 RS4 Avant is one of my all-time faves. What better way to get the Mrs and kids screaming on the way home from Ikea?

The B5 was an absolute weapon. Remapped by Viper Tuning with a Milltek catback and a few other mods (all done before I bought it). Coming on-boost in second gear halfway round a roundabout certainly kept me and the quattro system awake. :oops:

A quick clip taken by the previous owner:

No Austin Maestro though mate. That lets you down I'm afraid.
