Your car history?

Recommended Posts

Following from the average age thread, i'm curious what people owned before buying your zed?

 

I'm 25 and got my first car when I was 18:

 

Diahatsu Fourtrak

Hyundai Coupe (2001 shape)

Alfa 156 GTA

Alfa GT (3.2 V6)

Lotus Elise S2

Lotus Exige S2

 

Current cars: Lotus Exige S1, the Zed & my girlfriends Mk5 GTI Golf.

First Car at 18 through to current (23)

 

1. Renault Clio Mk1 1.2 (R Reg)

2. Mitsubishi Colt (E Reg)

3. Ford Puma 1.7 (W Reg)

4. Nissan 350z GT (06 Reg)

 

The Colt was great fun. Was actually kinda nice having a car that you didnt care about. Although it was very prone to stalling, which was odd since it was an automatic!

has this not been done before, can't we add this to the last thread?

im sure it has, and the last one had pictures! ;)

IIRC the pictures one was just random pics of your old cars and this was asking for your car history. Subtle distinction but I suppose its there.

Not trying to sound harsh, but I think your telling a few fibs. I hope this thread doesn't turn out to be a d**k swinging contest, so to speak - my car is better than your car and all that rubbish.

 

First things first, its Gallardo - something you'd remember 100% if you did manage to have one and secondly your age dude - you're either a lottery winner, a football player or a drug lord (at 23?!). Post some pics and prove me wrong... :dry::blush:
