My girlfriends 1994 Subaru Legacy Turbo goes like the proverbial or at least it would if it was mine and I wasn't scared of bending it! Oh and the £700 excess that I have on the insurance policy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A big change from my 1977 Peugeot 504 which on a good day probably had about 80bhp.

I drive this small little Peugeot (although its still more than good enough for now!). I'm hoping to get a new car in a year or so, I'll have to see how jobs work out and this little thing holds up.

:D This past summer, a couple of Grand Am teams rented 4 or 5 Spec Miatas ( shared by ~ 10 drivers) for a weekend at Barber Motorsports Park. They were very quick in the twisties & those Grand Am drivers made us work to get by !

Lucky bugger. Where was the track day? :)

[ST205GT4]

Down at Collie. Great little track actually. We had a great cross section of cars ranging from stock WRXs through to a 996 Turbo. What an awesome car that is.

Great way to learn about your car and yourself as a driver. For example I learnt that my car is way better than I am!

Tonight's track night is at Barbagello. Should be fun.

I'm planning on competing in a few motorkhanas/hillclimbs that sort of thing. Don't really have the means or in all honesty the desire to do much more than that at the moment.

At least my car never made me feel that it's better than I am :D I'm currently a little scared of driving Caroline's Legacy around on smaller roads because it always feels somewhat like you've got your foot about an inch away from stepping on a landmine :p

Seems to be the thing to do (to get them from Italy)

A guy in Australia who had an Evo II got his from Sicily. Apparently it had been sitting in a barn for a good 5 years on axle stands because the owner was in prison. From what I've heard of Italy this is perfectly believable!

Yer I haven’t got much into the local Mitsubishi scene as there is basically none, most evo owners are older and not interested in cruises or anything like that, I have meet some younger people down my way (live in Mandurah) that have evo's are stuff which is nice.

If its the Twin Turbo Magna i am thinking of, it belongs to a guy who works for RPW (Major Mitsubishi Workshop in Perth)

Where are the other two pictures taken? Fremantle? :)

[ST205GT4]

Ha...yeah good eyes Daniel. You are correct on both guesses. I would have waited for better light up at the Pinnacles, but I was low on fuel and there was only one place on the way back that sold 98RON and I was frightened they'd close before I got back. So harsh, middle of the day lighting for me I'm afraid.

Interesting place. I'd never been there before. I'll have to go back and get some decent shots of the place sometime. Happy Xmas by the way. Did you get snow?

[Daniel]

Pic looks good as it is tbh :)

No snow sadly. Probably won't have snow for at least another month :( Pity because I'm on the insurance for my g/f's Legacy RS till the 4th of august and wanted to see what 4wd was like on snow and ice :p Ah well! It's quite balmy here sometimes even for someone from Perth!!!!!

[ST205GT4]

Weird. Was talking to my mates back in the US and they hadn't had much snow in Wyoming either. Denver was another matter of course lol.

[Daniel]

Well the part of Wales I'm living in doesn't generally get much snow :) Very close to the sea so when there is snow it's gone fairly quickly I'm told :(

Still dry and hot in Perth? Talked to my parents the other day and it was going to be 38 or something stupid like that :mark:

It's like the Pit of Hell here today. Was supposed to be 38. Certainly felt like it when I went out for lunch. Thank god I'm an office monkey and get to stay in the aircon!

Get a 106 :) What you may lose in higher cost you'll gain in lower insurance premiums.

[Iain]

Get a 106 Rallye. Hardly any weight and bags of fun I am reliably told by Tom Jones formerly of this parish. :)

Yes. 206's are woefully bad cars. A friend of mine from Oz who did a bit of rallying had one as a hire car and said it cornered on it's door handles. Which basically matches what a lot of motoring journalists say. Have you seen the new Clio Sport? :facelick:

1980 Toyota Celica 5dr. 2.0l Fun car runs well getting dated, sadly.

Can i just clear up, yes my fog lights are on....but no i am not a chav and i do not drive with them on.... :p :

[nicemms]

I would have thought the insurance on that would be quite alot. In excess of £1000?

[Drew]

You'd be lucky to get insurance under £1000 for almost any car when you are 17 and not on your parents insurance :\

[ST205GT4]

Have you seen the new Clio Sport? :facelick:

I think I like the old one better. The new one has started to put on some weight and some of the reviews aren't as positive as they were about the last model. Hope Renault don't screw it up!

[Okeefe]

Volvo, but just bought and restoring a 1988 BMW 7 Series! Having trouble with pictures on here though....

[viper_man]

Im absolutely disgusted I have no pictures of my 3 previous cars. Oh well. First was a Mk2 Ford Escort, ran pretty well until the gearbox failed. Scrapped it. Second was a Peugeot 309 GTI, that was a beast, leather trim on the seats, the lot, lovely car. Again it died so scrapped it. Third was a Vauxhall Corsa, 2nd generation. Was also a lovely little car, ended up sticking some alloys on it that were worth more than the car itself but it looked great. Ran it into the ground until 5 months ago the engine blew up, literally.

Cant figure out how to do pics, so my current car is a Ford Mondeo, 1.8 GLX, 80k miles on the clock when I bought it for £1,400 a couple of months ago. Put the Zetec alloys on afterwards, which I got for free. As you can see Ive also added some 'authentic rally effect mud splashes' along the side. Those were also free

[viper_man]

Done it, so now my previous post makes sense rather than sounding like Im :s mokin:

Do I win for the worst car! I have an N reg Peugeot 806 complete with dents, from fogs/back wiper/one mirror and back gas struts (The boot is held open by a broom handle) that don't work.

Interesting thread. I have more than one vehicle - do I post them all?

[Mark in Oshawa]

Agwiii, yes, you must own up to your sins automotive. I admit I drive a 93 Sentra, a more dull vehicle cannot be found. But it is as we say in Ontario, a great beater and it didn't cost me anything. It's main purpose is to drag my carcass to work and sit until I need it again. A long haul trucker doesn't need a nice car.....Just have to get back to being long haul, this last little while has been hard on the car actually getting use!!!

Currently it has a 2.0 pinto which is quite fun. However, I'm constantly on the look out for a Cosworth top end that bolts straight on to the Pinto block.

I'll probably drive this one for a year or so and then want to build something a bit more radical. My friend has just bought a 348 so I'm gonna p!ss all over him on the twisties and probably acceleration to 80 mph but my past time is annialating Ferrari's so may go a bit more exotic with the next project ;)

[mister mister]

i have a 91 MR2 with coilovers and a cage and all that fun stuff. i also have an 86 corolla turbo with a cage and seats and a built engine and all sorts of other goodies that i sadly just sold, and the s12 mentioned in another thread.

I have a couple of Escort Cosworths, an evil black one with a YBT and a red one with a YBP which is my daily driver.

[daz90]

Forgive my ignorance, but what is YBT and YBP?

[Donney]

Yeah and since you are at it forgive mine also. :p :

[Camelopard]

Forgive my ignorance, but what is YBT and YBP?
Different models of the Cosworth engine, YBT and earlier are the ones with the flat cam covers. the YBP was the last based on that design, it supposedly has better oil galleries. It has a 'silver' cam cover with a central black peice of plastic that covers the coil packs and spark plug leads. The YBTs are commonly refered to as the the 'big' turbo engines (hybrid Garrett T3/T04 turbo) with Weber Marelli computer, the YBPs ran a smaller turbo (T25) and EEC-IV computer which is very hard to modify.

[daz90]

Ah i see, thanks for clearing that up, abbreviations and text speak normally mean very little to me, and its better to ask than sit here in silence wondering what people are talking about :)

I am also no good at technical engine stuff, but thats a different matter.

[AndyRAC]

I currently drive a SEAT IBIZA Cupra Sport, and I'm thinking of replacing it, just not sure what to get. At one point it was either Fiesta ST or the Focus Zetec. Any suggestions.

Agwiii, yes, you must own up to your sins automotive.

Ok. This was taken on the front yard of my house. I had to climb up on the roof to get this perspective.

Focus Zetec, depending on what model your talking about though, Focus mk1? 99-04? or new shape mk2 Focus, 04 -?

Anyway, i have driven a few of the mk1 Focus's and they dont half handle well, whatever engine you try, i have tested the 1.8TDCI and the 1.8 petrol before, the Diesel was very impressive and better than the petrol version (in my opinion), however i didnt buy either in the end, but i did think about it. The only thing i dont like with the first focus was the dash and interior plastics, they were a bit naff.

A very good replacemen indeed as the 2000 model is the last of the Classic shape. I've got the UK Turbo 2000 and it's a late 2000 model one of the last Classics, there is a pic of it earlier in this thread.

The bug-eyed abomination that followed should be stricken from the record.

I didn't like the current shape when I first saw it but I've grown to like it since. The rear end needs work though as it's basically the same as the bug-eye.

GTi's are cheaper and more plentiful though :) Apparently the 1.3 Rallye's are the pick of the bunch and are better than the 1.6's :)

Ive owned an S1 Rallye and Im now on my 2nd GTI... For a 1.3 it was brilliant but doesnt have the torque to hold the drifts like I can with my Gti which is although softer sprung.. more progresive and better on all but the tighter narrower roads.

Just bought off Ebay another Daihatsu Charade, $330 with 14" mags RWC. will try and trash it using it for Recce for Rally of Canberra :)

Thought it might be interesting to reignite is as after a few years everyone will be in different cars!

Since starting this thread I've owned an Audi 80 for a couple of weeks till the heater matrix went pop and it just didn't run properly either, a 406 turbo diesel which blew a head gasket twice and now I'm onto a brand new Fiat 500 with a teeny tiny 1.2l engine....

About a month or so ago i bought a Renault Laguna 1.9DCI Dynamique, so far (touch wood) its been very good, my first diesel too.

Not my car, but same colour and exactly the same shape.


I dont have that car anymore, it turned out to be a bit of a dog in the end, alot of electrical problems, even a bent alloy, after a good deal of cash trying to sort out different problems i cut my losses and went all sensible again. I bought a 2004 Ford Focus 1.8 TDCI, 18 months down the line and its been a good car.

great drive...

Speaking of legend, series 2, 7, and 9 are models which represent revolution of Volvo, the newer types are fine because they are new that usually give less trouble to the owner.

A pity if you sold the 242 off. To change the headlight of series 2 with american looks, short and long of each headlight is separated in different reflector, is an awesome option.

diesel, of course as too often when stuck in traffick, the slow idle and torgue, plus sitting above it all, makes it more fun or suvivable....... the other fav is an r6 as in 600, with most of the lower body work removed.

then there is the usual boring collection of mercedes and ferraris :rolleyes:

There are massive floods all around and a man is trapped on his roof unable to escape.
A boat comes along and the man onboard shouts "Jump on board mate!"

Some time later the RAF send out a helicopter but he refuses to be winched up. "No, I have faith in the lord he will protect me"

The waters then rise further and the man drowns.

On getting to heaven he asks god "I had faith in you, but you didn't save me, why?" God replies : "I sent you a boat and I sent you a helicopter, what else did you want from me?!"

Regretfully selling my 260Z after 3 years of (mostly) happy motoring. Will try and catch hold of a 351ci XD Falcon now, something I should have done the last time I was in the market for a used automobile. Somehow a four cylinder Volvo didn't quite meet those expectations.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go help with the evacuation of my suburb, as I opened the door of the Daewoo bubble of fail and let out all sorts of biological toxins and mould spores that have materialised in the last three months since I last opened it. I have to say, it's an improvement on the OEM plastic interior colour, don't fancy a commute in the Hazmat suit though.

Thought I'd post a picture of my little Fiesta ST taken a while ago in the Langdale valley in the Lake District. It's performace blue and has full racing stripes, not that you can tell from this particular picture. It's three years old next month, just had its 50K service and a full set of new tyres. :)

I didn't buy it for its performance because everything in its class is faster, I certainly didn't buy its for its fuel consumption, and I didn't buy it on the presumption that it would be reliabile (for which the most part it has been). I just bought it because I quite liked the look of it and got a really good deal.

One time the exhaust on my 406 rusted through and I had to be recovered. Completely my fault for not getting the exhaust replaced.

http://members.iinet.net.au/~fenix1983/Files/26092008053.jpg

One time a wire broke off the starter motor on my 504 which for a car which was 25 years old so you can't blame the car.

... and the final time was when I locked my keys in the car, thankfully the 504 is rather easy to break into.

2 of those things were my fault and the other one could happen to any car that is that age ;)

[AndyRAC]

Nope :)

Ah, a VAGroup man - my last car was a Seat Ibiza Cupra, had it for over 10 years from new, now have a Skoda Fabia vRS SE. No major complaints with either.
