bikes, millions. most loved its hard ummm i did have a long string of lc's and power valves they were real fun, loved them all.
as for cars the list is small. funny really i have never owned a car smaller than 2lt even when i past my test i had big cars
:D :D insurance wasnt the issue it is today. i have always likes and prefered jap cars, this is my first honda and it has been the most reliable vehicle i have ever owned. :twisted:
i like kit cars too, but never owned one myself. best memory of cars is shagging some girl in her suzuki samari while the blur song woo hoo came on the radio :lol: :lol:

First car aged 18 was a nissan pulsar gtir, epic car, crazy fast but cost an absolute bomb to insure

1993 clio 1.8 16v awesome little car!
1994 clio 1.8 16v with a 2.0 williams conversion with HUGE profile catcams! Fully and I mean FULLY stripped out, was scary fast too!
1990 fc rx7, cool old skool looks and plenty of power! Swapped it for my first lude!
1992 bb1, where it all began! Lol
Swapped that for a scooby 555 280bhp standard!
1995 fc3s rx7 type r, the only pearl white one in the country, absolute fanny magnet lol!
1995 bb4
1994 impreza sti
1998 integra type R - overrated
1999 audi a3 1.8t - blah!
2001 106 gti, really awesome little car! Almost felt like vtec at 5k revs
1999 s3 - again....blah!
And finally at the age of 25, my latest bb4, never going to sell this car! Either it dies or I die in it! Lol

1994 Honda Accord 2.0 LS - aka The Shinymobile
1995 Honda Prelude BB1 2.2 vtec - transformed into pure sex and sorely missed
2002 Honda Accord 2.2 Type R - just awesome
