  • Crikey Callum, lots of cars in a relatively short time, indecisive are we?! and Chris, remembering the before picture you posted, mighty good effort!!

I think if i ever changed my car it will be another ford.

I'm going for another Ford, and I can see me getting a few more in years to come.

It's funny because my Dad absolutely hates Fords. Always has done, even more so when he had a Mk3 Fiesta diesel as a temporary car before he bought his current car on finance. I drove that mk3 and it made a small part of me die ...

Buuuuut, my old Focus has converted me I must be honest. :D

The only thing with the clio was that the tdc sensor went, thats why it broke down on me twice, got a scare from the bd people saying that the cam bekt had gone, again was only the sensor which was £22!

Oh? What happened to it? Interested now because someone I work with hasn't long bought one on a 56' plate.

SEATs are VWs in drag, can't be a bad thing!!

I quite like Seats too actually, owned by VW too so surely can't go too wrong buying one.

Anything German is gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!

My first car was a 1992 VW Golf Cabriolet:

Some nice cars posted! :)

I like this thread.

My first car was a 98 'R' Peugeot 106 1.1 60bhp. I loved that car, with just me in it it felt really quite rapid - with 5 in going up a hill it did not!

Then the head gasket, exhaust and driveshafts went. And the fuel gauge stopped working... and the brakes were terrible. Still loved it.

Looked identical to this:

Micheal I don't think I've ever heard anyone say "I had my heart set on a Seat before"! Which one do you like? Ibiza?

If I had around £2k to spend, I'd want a ibiza or leon :)

My first car was a Peugeot 107 1.0 68BHP. It would be 3 years old next month :o

my first car was a old bmw E32:

My first car was an R reg Mk2 Escort Ghia 1300 with vinyl roof! It was nearly as old as I was!

Sorry don't have any pics, but it was just like this one although in red.
