83C Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I’ll wear my fingers to stumps if I do this in one hit on my phone, so part 1 is bikes cos it’s a shorter list: 1988 Yamaha DT50MX 197? Moto Guzzi 250 2000 Honda CityFly 125 2005 Honda Varadero 125 2006 Triumph Sprint 1050ST 1992 Kawasaki ZZR600 1994 Kawasaki ZZR1100 2013 Kawasaki ZZR1400 ? Yamaha PW50 2012 BMW G650GS 2003 Suzuki SV650S K3 1992 Honda CBR 600F 1999 Honda Dullville 1995 BMW R1100RT I think that’s all of the bikes, only 11 13 14 of them. Still have the ZZR1400, and one of my regular eBay trawls at the moment is for something like a Triumph Tiger or BMW GS. *Edited to add the CBR, which I forgot about having bought it from @warch, and the Dullville which was so beige it was easy to forget. **Edited again to add the ZZR1100. I *think* thats all of them... Cavcraft and FakeConcern 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started now looking at it from engine size\cylinders\manufacturer. Not done High end stuff like Aston Martin/TVR/Porsche/Rolls/Bentley or V12, but think done everything else which is sad/worrying.

michael t Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 1. 2002 MK4/5 Fiesta: My first car. Loved it but holier than thou. Scrapped after gearbox failed. 2. 2008 Mk4 Polo: Solid little thing that was so incredibly dull but easy to drive. Part-ex'ed for my next car. 3. 2015 Mk5 Polo: which was said next car. Lovely car with the 1.0 non TSI petrol engine. Nippy and frugal. Sold to fund college course. 4. 2000 Hyundai Amica/Atoz. I still had the '15 Polo but decided to start dabbling in shiters. It was rather quirky with a nice peppy 1.0 engine. Needed belts and a few oil leaks sorted so punted it on after a few months. 5. 2000 Volkswagen Lupo: I've always loved the shape of the Lupo but sadly this particular one was shagged. Clutch was almost shot and the gearbox whined in 5th. Add to that sagging doors and horrendous lacquer peel it to was flogged on. 6. 1999 Renault Clio : Bought for just 250 quid off an old geezer who's wife had owned it. Fully road legal and absolutely spotless. A car I regret selling, but when a cheap Rover 600 comes along and you're thick in the head like me.... 7. 1999 Rover 600: Mistake.... big mistake. Although thankfully I got rid before it cost me big money. Interior was absolutely minging having been smoked in for years. Front brakes were shot and it had rather advanced corrosion near the rear arch/sill area. Sold it to a mate who ended up scrapping her. Shame but the right call. 8. 2001 Ford Focus: What a car. One of the best and most dependable I've ever owned. Needed a little bit of welding and a new brake pipe but it just ran and ran. Must've put 4/5000 miles on it in about 6 months. Sold it on to a local bloke who still uses it. 9. 2000 Peugeot 106: I should have given this thing more love and affection but I just didn't gel with it. Finances were a little tight too which didn't help. It drove well enough but was just too small for me. Plus a bucket lister was up for sale nearby so the little 106 departed the fleet. 10. 2001 Volvo V40: I've always loved these. They look great from every angle IMO. This one was at a decent price with a nice stretch of NCT and tax. Full leather, auto-box and service history were all big selling points. I've still got her almost a year later which is a true measure of how much I like it. 11. 2000 Mazda Demio: These are probably perfectly good little motors but I grew to vehemently dislike mine. Nothing particularly wrong with it apart from an undiagnosed suspension/steering issue after I stupidly clonked it off a kerb. Mechanic couldn't see anything wrong but it just never felt right. Sold to a young fella despite being told about the problem. 12. 2002 Nissan Micra K11: Picked this little shitter up for 550 of Brussell's finest Euros and it arguably my best ever purchase. I drove around 500 miles per week in it for about four months and it never missed a beat. Sadly the gearbox became incredibly stiff which is a known fault on them. Eventually 1st and 2nd were practically impossible to engage and so I scrapped it for 300 quid. Would have another! 13. 1998 Mk1 Renault Clio: I first spotted this back in June 2017 and kept tabs on it until I popped a note under the wiper in Feb '22. October rolls around and an old lady calls offering me it. Price agreed and it was mine. It needs quite a lot of work to get it road worthy and to be honest, I'm struggling to get motivated. Currently sat in a driveway doing nothing.... 14. 1996 Peugeot 306: I saw this for sale locally and really fancied it. Managed to get a decent chunk off the price due to a grumbling front wheel and oil leak. It drives wonderfully and has clearly been looked after despite the last service stamp being from 1998. Think this will be a keeper. Getting it inusred on a classic policy was a different level of PITA but got there eventually. Oh and the rear seatblet mount seems fine which is a known grot spot on these. FakeConcern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
