A few of my old cars
A few of my old cars
Bored flicking through folders on photobucket, Thought i'd share a selection of my cars from the last few years. There about 90% ford so i fully expect someone to delete this thread through pure disgust at my sort
Tried to post them in the order i owned them cos i'm quite anal lke that
my first legal car, lasted a week
replaced it with this
had these 2 as projects at the same time
I replaced both of them and the cav when the cav engine let go
bought this as a 1.6l auto
2 years later i sold it as a 2.9i manual, ghia s spec
also had this orion
Then i moved to a house with enough room for 5 cars in the front garden so i bought more
this was my daily
replaced with this
then i had to get another cortina, this one was in a cement yard
cleaned up nicely
that went when i had an accident in it.
so i bought this cavalier, it was actually the 2nd time i owned it
then came a period where i couldnt decide what i wanted....
another project
loads missing along the way but you get the idea
brings us right up to the current pair you've already seen

Re: A few of my old cars
Are you related to steven77 by any chance?
Almost every photo features the same set of wheels! I'm guessing you loved these more than the cars!

Re: A few of my old cars
Wish I had never looked, need to go and cif my eyeballs now..
Infact I had a Mk1 fiesta on alleycats with a xr2 engine in it that me and my old man built with uprated cam etc and a Xr3i mk4 shape that I used to demolish a brick wall when the brakes failed.
Pretty much been a vauxaholic ever since bar a rover (bad times) and a peugeot 205 gti I did up then wrote off

Free Parking is a bonus, leaving my Cav in a carbon dust filled carpark is not.....

Re: A few of my old cars
I cant help it, i like old fords. The way i've got it now is the way i like it, the cavalier as my sensible reliable daily and the cortina is my baby, my plaything, theres a cossie waiting when i can afford to do it.
theres a sticker i always have i my back windows
think the cavalier qualifies as old?

Pug 205's were amazing, loved mine and it was a decent spec one with extras including a new fiesta in the grille after some to**er in a fiesta hire car pulled out right in front of me on one christmas evening twisting the chasis and writting her off still bitter nowplanetc wrote:O worked in a peugeot garage when I was 21 ish and the 205 gtis were in full swing,they were fun!Mikebmth wrote: and a peugeot 205 gti I did up then wrote off

Re: A few of my old cars
my first car was a chipped sierra 2.0. i didnt have it long enough to find out how poor they were as i rolled it and it died a premature to death. before that i had concluded it was indestructible because of the abuse i gave it. haha!

Re: A few of my old cars
It amazes me how many Cavalier owners once owned Ford Escorts and Cortinas, which proves the mass appeal of what I consider to be Vauxhall's greatest car, extremely proud to so bias!
