What were you driving when your car was built?
Thought it would be interesting and entertaining to see what people were driving the year their car was made.
I was 18 in 2006 when my E86 was built and this was my mighty wagon:
A 1995 1.3l 5 door mk5.5 Ford Escort, with a genuine 28,000miles when I bought it (from old boy next door that bought it brand new and never used it)
17" Alloy wheels, twin 12" 1000w Pioneer subs with a 2000w mono amp, Alpine 6x9s and Alpine mids and tweeters in the doors... it was so loud I worried about popping my windows

I had 2 bikes, I didnt have my own car at the time. 2010.
I had an XT660x to travel to and from work and an R1 for the weekend which I still have.
The car Nicki and I shared would have been a 2006 Mini Cooper.

VW Passat Diesel. One of the worst cars I ever owned. Front suspension collapsed. Electric windows packed up as did the central locking and main headlight switch. Not good for a German built car. I think mine was a Friday afternoon car.
2004 Black Sapphire 3.0L SE. Red leather. Back box delete. Clutch valve delete. Roof motor relocated. 18" M star spoke style 193. Machine Monkey exhaust tips. Gap Tec. ZHP Gear knob. Clear side repeaters. Zun Sport lower grille.

In 2019 when my G29 was being built I was driving this:-
I traded it in for the G29 and got a sizable wedge of cash back as part of the deal. I only owned the Porsche for 4 months and just couldn't get on with it at all. As soon as I saw and drove a G29 I realised my mistake and decided to cut my losses.

In that case then, there’s a possibility it was another Calibra, or a GSi or a Cav Turbo…………..

2013. Had a new Merc E250d AMG pack estate. Probably the biggest car ever made. Great car that did everything well except twisty roads; it didn't like those very much.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.
F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

I was driving this when my Z4MC was built, and 2 years later I swapped from the M5 to the Z4MC.
