Cars (in order of aquisition)

this was my first car, a Triumph Spitfire MkIV (with my younger brother stood next to it)- I'm currently rebuilding it

this was my second car, a Ford Escort Estate MkII, with a Ford Mexico front spoiler, quick ratio steering rack and four spot lights! - made a very good surf-wagen though. This one rusted away

this was my third car, a Ford Capri MkII, with a lowered and uprated suspension , quick ratio steering rack, and wolfrace wheels - 6 months of work every evening in the garage (cost me £50 and I spent over a grand on it). Drove this into someone else and my girlfriend at the time wouldnt let me rebuild it!

My second FIAT 127 Super (unfortunately I don't have a picture of the first one). This one had a 1050cc Sport engine in it and would quite happily see off Ford XR3i's to 60mph - it also converted me to FIAT's! (note the 1300GT body kit on it) Rusted away and a cam belt failure cost me the original sport engine.

My first Alfa Romeo (1.6 Guilietta). Drove this one into a wall in fog!

My first 1300GT (on the road rather than spares), was a rip off because it was a shed. Lost the engine to a cam belt failing again and the body was more rust than metal.

Borrowed this one from my brother for a few months until I got the 127 Palio - good fun for a F**d apart from its habit of not charging the battery if you didnt flick this switch (which my brother had fitted). He then sold it to a mate for spares

My last 127, a MkII Palio special edition with a 1300GT engine and suspension, braided brake hoses, wide wheels and MG Metro seats - best cars I've ever had 127's, other than the Spitty. Actually sold this one to someone else)

A very bad piccy of the Uno but nevermind. Bog standard Uno45 (900cc not the FIRE engine) but was a good little car till the tin-worm got it.

Audi 80 Sport, good fun car, which went well (for a car with a slipping clutch) and was pretty economical considering the engine size - didnt handle as well as the 127's though.
