My first Car..Wasn't I lucky (Thanks Dad)...All my mates had Escorts and I got this.. It was BOG standard before i wasted my YTS money on it!

A few others:

Oh and all the 'Green Lannin' we use to doo...

My 1st ped after getting my license (RD250LC)..Oooo I was so proud in my brand new jacket!

The beast that got me into lots of trouble (more so than all my other bikes)..

Showing my age!

My first car was a '72 beetle which, in the early nineties, was fitted with early panels all round (lots of ppl were doing it back then), deseamed, suicide/solonoid doors etc and fitted with 2110cc stroker motor. Not got any pics to hand.

Sold that (minus engine) and bought a Rover Metro GTi 16v, which was promptly stolen 5 months later.

Bought a '64 notchback with the insurance payout and fitted my engine in it.

Kept that for 10 years whilst driving various company cars (Golf, Laguna, Fiat Bravo HGT, Passat).

Eventually sold the notch when I took a cash alternative to the company car offered and treated myself to this..

Kept that 3 years then bought an RS4 saloon...

Changed jobs and started travelling to work by train and the RS was spending lots of time in my garage, so sold it and bought my split and an A6 as a daily driver. Nobody understood.... :lol:
