Jonro2009 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 @TomsFocus have you put some grease or similar on the valve caps, assuming they are metal threads. i don’t think I have a picture of my 10yr old car, would a stock image count?

Good point but these are plastic caps so no seizing issues! I ran a set of metal Ford ones for 3.5 years with no issues though, can only assume other people don't check the pressures often enough. Yeah a stock photo is fine...as long it's as close as possible to the spec and colour etc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always post a pic of your family's car at the time if you want to take part. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonro2009 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Ok, so I thought 10 years ago was around 2001, in which case I would have been looking for a stock image of my trusty Corsa - 65K Miles in a 999cc club spec which I bought from new and sold after 18months! I did 500m a week to and from work then every weekend did 800m round trip to see my then girlfriend, unlike my girlfriend the car never let me down! Anyway, 10yrs ago I was driving my 1.6 Renault Megane WSR coupe which I loved and still miss today. I’m now driving a 1.5tdci PS focus ST Line which I own because I wanted a practical car apparently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I only had it a few months, but this is what my car looked like in 2009. (Not my pic, but looks the same). And of course my current car, I think its actually the same size externally. Haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turvey Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Due to having 4 kids and a mortgage, all my cars in the last 20 years have been so boring I haven't taken any photos of them! 🙄. 😥 😀 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of these then? 😝 Gel plates are nice, I did have to replace one of mine hence the upgrade, used to run pressed metal but don't think they look right on newer cars. I'll probably go for 4D plates for whatever my next long term car will be. 5 minutes ago, Simon_K said: 2009 Now that is cool!

Nick Y Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 10 years ago I had a 1996 R reg Ford Mondeo Mk1 18l Verona in green that had something like 85k miles on the clock (spare wheel was on due to puncture).

I've actually seen a few advertised on Gumtree recently. When I was younger my parents had an old Y reg Mk2 Ford Granada and then later an F reg Mk3 Granada 2.0. He went for the Granada because we towed a caravan and toured Northern France with it on holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point I had a bed in it and was working on the cupboards, but then I changed my mind and fitted some captain seats from a Kia Sedona and a dog cage in the back. Then I took those out and was in the process of making a wrap around sofa against the back door and up one side when the engine unexpectedly died ☹️ Vans are great if you have a plan, but I never knew what I wanted from it!

zain611 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 @WES180 @TomsFocus I was 11 not 3 years old 10 years back to have a booster seat and a little tikes flimstone car 😂. Trying to remember back what car my dad had then. It was one of these 3 cars. Don't have exact pictures of his cars. Mk4 golf which he properly modified. Bought five spoke star like wheels from America, did an engine swap putting in the 1.8T from the audi S3, R32 bumpers, seats and other bit. He actually recently bought a set of golf anniversary wheels which he might put on his bora. It's on the pic below. A Peugeot 106 1.5 NA diesel zest 5 door. Rare finding them in 5 door plus it was slow. Or a fiat uno. He made it look like the turbo model. Sadly one day someone rear ended him and what my dad said was the car that rammed him was still revving their engine moving forward so the driver must of got the pedals wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost £300 with T&T and had a huge dent in the rear door. Had to get rid of it when MOT rules changed and all doors had to be operational. So he bought another Mk1 for sub £500. 1 hour ago, Simon_K said: At one point I had a bed in it and was working on the cupboards, but then I changed my mind and fitted some captain seats from a Kia Sedona and a dog cage in the back.

I've toyed with the idea of a home made camper for years, always look round them at the local VW shows and get motivated to do it but never have so far. Would want something with personal toilet & kitchen facilities for day trips and dub shows etc. But then the costs and reality of using a van daily put me off, if I had some disposable income and space for a second car I probably would try it! 1 hour ago, zain611 said: @WES180 @TomsFocus I was 11 not 3 years old 10 years back to have a booster seat and a little tikes flimstone car 😂.

Eric Bloodaxe Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 10 years ago I was driving my Audi A3 Sportback 2.0 TDI - one of the best cars I've ever had and I don't seem to have kept a photo so here's an image of an identical one! Plus current Fiesta (actual car this time!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did enjoy driving it, the higher position and seats like arm chairs were really nice. It was my only vehicle so costs weren’t too bad - 1 set of insurance / tax. I don’t think I’d have another VW though, the scene tax is just ridiculous. TBH mine was a shed when I bought it, for too much money and I think I was lucky to nurse it for so long. But it was handy and fun to play with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StWou7 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 So neither of these are my actual cars but you get the idea........ 10 years ago i was driving this little number (absolutely loved it) until a kind fella in a 4X4 rear ended it doing 60mph (he wasn't looking.....it hurt alot). Now driving this Fiesta. Nothing particularly exciting but its nice to drive and im really happy with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
