thatsmacar Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I'll try and remember what I had. 1st car was the mighty Morris Marina 1.3 coupe, complete with vinyl roof and semi lunched cog box. For added strength, the old man took off the rusty (typical) wings and pop riveted on some fibreglass ones. Mmmm, tasty. I had no choice in this car. Mk 1 Cavalier. Good old shitebox.Hillman AvengerTriumph AcclaimMk 2 Cavalier. Better old shitebox.Maestro x 2. Thrashy.MG Montego efi. Nice sporty. I walked away from the turbo version as I didn't want to be nick named Jim Davidson.Sierra x 3. Hatch, estate, and Sapphire. Boring shitboxes.Audi GT coupe. 5 cylinder lump. I loved that engine.Rover 800 x 2. Both 2 litres and fastbacks. Best car ever.Proton saloon.Fiesta 1.0 Mk3Mk 2 Metro. Got nicked by a shithead. Also had a JDM imported Kawasaki GPZ 400 R.

PiperCub Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I used to have a grey GPZ400 too, it was the worst bike I've ever owned! Shite, but not in a positive way. I actually felt sorry for the shop I lumbered with it (getting slightly more than I'd paid) when I p/x'd it against a nice 600 Bandit (that was cheap in the first place). Like night and day to ride.

thatsmacar Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 Mine was ok. No real issues with it. Just a money grabbing bint and lack of pay to keep that and the car. bangernomics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
