Ok so here goes,
Very first car, identical colour to this one. Bought it in 1982, no licence but a dream. Only bought it because it had 2 electrical arials and Ultravox's Vienna sounded well hard init.
Bought this Talbot Horizon because it looked like a Golf GTI when you looked back in the wing mirrors. Not mine obviously as i cant find a pic. Dont think they had cameras in those days.
Living in Germany so bought this Cortina for £300 quid. Was in mint condition and a lovely car.
Bought this to replace the Cortina. Biggest bag of boll**x i have ever had the misfortune of owning. Bought it from new too.
Probably one of the nicest cars I have ever owned. Bought from new and loved every minute of owning it. People used to ask me what on earth it was.
Sold the Galant for a deposit on a house. Bought this second hand as a run around. Never let me down.
Vrrrrroooom First taste of German cars. Always wanted a Beeeema, so saved the pennys and bought one like this. Was in mint condition and at that time was my pride and joy.
Moved to Saudi Arabia for 3 years, so ended up owning 3 differenct cars, all free of charge, including insurance - none, petrol costs - none. Free to bash about in the sand dunes. Brilliant...
Loved living in the desert, so much so i got to teach desert driving and survival techniques. Was then asked to put this little chap through its paces in the dunes. Not a bad car but not too good off road. Nice engine though, V8 in such a small car making it very handy when "pottering" through the delights of Riyadh City.
Back to the UK with a bump and bought this from new. Overall a nice car, full leather package and pretty nippy.
Then wanted somthing a bit bigger, so bought Ghia X TDCI Mondy, brilliant engine and spec, useless Ford after service. Had an ongoing problem with the waste gate valve, always sounded as though the thing had a hole in the exhaust. Ford's answer? Stuff some toilet paper up inside to stop it touching the exhaust !!!..
10 Months down the line and i got shot of the thing, did a straight swap for this baby.
Loved the car.
In need to downsize so bought this from new.
Sold her eventually to start new business so got this little fella and its for sale if anyone is interested lol
And now have my latest pride and joy.
Love the thing.
Saving up the pennys for this little sweetheart. Had 2 test drives and vvvrrrrrrrooooommmm xoxoxox
And this little chap got me out of tonnes of scrapes....
