Rustycarlover Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I’m going to start to document some of my past car history I’ve only been driving legally for a year or so so am only gonna do the cars I have driven in the road the other 100 or so will have their own thread soon first car I got shortly after my test was this utter bargain of a 307 se , don’t theft the looks deceive you although picked up cheap for 500 with a years ticket I spent almost that again having new tires and the tracking done the tracking was so bad that the lad at quick fit said they had never seen anything so bad and he would try his best to correct it got to the stage that all the technicians where standing around it in amazement . Also it’s french electrics meant the lights would randomly turn on and the radio had a min of its own . Sometimes the horn wouldn’t work and to override this you had to turn the lights on and off oh and also the ac broke and so did the drivers window mechanism in the scorching summer of 2018 Six-cylinder and Sudsprint 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustycarlover Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 Next was this 1.2 punto Mia . I actually bought this simply by leaving a note on it as it stood out to me being a really early one of these on a y reg . Anyway thie lady who owned this was really nice and stuck 12 months mot on it for me and it came with loads of paperwork they had owned it from new and it had had a fortune spent on it including head gasket and all sorts it was really well cared for anyway £200 saw me driving it away a real bargain . However due to it being a base spec it had no abs and I almost crashed on a wet day when the wheels locked , addimiteldy coming round a corner going far too fast Belfast Gipsy, adw1977, Six-cylinder and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skut Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 That gen of Punto was so good looking and beautifully detailed. Fiat ruined it when they facelifted it. Is it a 60 or 75 horse donkey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustycarlover Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 Next was this Corsa 1.2 scored for £230 with a years ticket a good car but miserable to drive with no pas or radio and about 25 mpg on a good day but being a limited edition Vegas it had a special paint finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustycarlover Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 Then there was this 16v brown/red Astra this car had a stock of receipts with it and from the look of it must have been a Friday evening car . The seats where incredibally hard but that said I did actually quite like it picked it up for £270 with almost a years test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
