The only car I don't have any pics of is a Suzuki Vitara, I can't think why
No Porsches or Ferarris I'm afraid

Love the Swift GTi. Hate all Audi's. Fascinated by the changing foliage in your street.

I would never buy a ferrari anyway. Theyre lovely but totally overrated and v fragile.
My dad had an old 308gtb with the carb engine and it was always breaking down. U always see them breaking down at the 'ring too, usually with clutch failure.
My money would go on a sorted porsche 911 everytime.
Also fascinated by the changes ng foliage. Where did all the trees go?
And were u a homeowner before u got ur license? Same house in the photos since 1982. Or did you always live at home with the folks? Lol
I was a late starter at 21 but i had to shake out of fekin student debts before i could lash the cash on a motor.

I bought the Swift GTI new at £7995, ordered a white one and ended up with a black one The little twin cam engine was fabulous with 101hp and the cam cover was blue exactly like the Lotus Cortina, I think Suzuki copied the look. It was a pretty nippy car as it weighed nothing. Downside was the cylinder head cracked and it spend over a month in the workshop waiting for parts in which time the drivers door got dented all overbuzyg wrote:Love the Swift GTi. Hate all Audi's.

I traded the Audi A3 1.8 in for a new MK3 Toyota MR2 but the engine blew after 200 miles from new Toyota wouldn't replace the engine but wanted to repair it on a new car so I told them to stick it and got the Audi back.

Good varied selection Tim, I noticed the house opposite lost its car port over the years & your neighbour cut down the nice silver birch tree.
Your driveway has become neater over time as well

lol, the trees disappeared over time I think the neighbours re did their gardens over time, lawns up, gravel down
The house, well bungalow belonged to my gran who passed away in the early 80's and it was handed over to me and have lived there since.

Thanks Rob, the bungalow opposite, that will be when the elderly couple who owned it passed away and it was renovated and has been rented out ever since.Smartbear wrote:Good varied selection Tim, I noticed the house opposite lost its car port over the years & your neighbour cut down the nice silver birch tree.

Wished I still had it, I still used to see it locally for a good 5 years after I traded it in.Marlon wrote:Marvellous - love the Toyota MR2 T-Bar
Strangely with the MINI Cooper S I noticed the MOTs stopped in 2012 I think when 9 years old and wander if it was scrapped or written off.

If you have a nice bungalow, why did you live at the Co-op for two years ?
