My old cars UK and AUS

[tommymac]

So i thought i would show my love for my other cars before i saw the light and needed to get my fist DUB i still regret not getting one in the UK but hey what can you do!

My first ride was a Ford Fiesta not FESTIVA! there little hot hatches, which you all know as we get the newer models here! but one of their classics is the mk3, the model i had. From memory there 88 to 94? Matt may correct me on this, and they came in all engine varieties from 4 bangers that couldnt make it up a hill to the 1.6 SI DOHC 16V ( my one ) to the xr2i 1.8 turbo phrrroooommmm.


My other ride was a Vauxhall Corsa AKA Barina hmmm Beep beep or something stupid ( its ok for a guy to have one in the UK ) again the sportier model 1.6 GSI 16V DOHC but i had to sell it cos it pissed me off the body kit i got wasnt great to many waves and high and low spots so that when I realised in needed a MK2. They are one of the nicest cars (mk2 golf) in europe easy to maintain hmm and very easy to take apart and break! but at least once the dash is out it goes back in the same unlike most cars aka the Barina!




enjoy

ah mate worked in the Newbury store, which is South near Reading, man it was a mad laugh got to mix paint and like make number plates - funny thing is there was no regulation on making number plates when i first started working so any dodgey townie could steal or ram raid with fake plates! ah the life! i was thinking of actually gettin my mum to send me over two white plates with my rego on it and use them for shows

oh yer the 205 are demons i used to hate racing them hehe my mate had an XS they were 1.4? not bad little motors i tell thee

hello fellow 'pommies' or what ever these auzzi boiz call us! had a feista, mk2 tho backin the uk, the ultimate first car!! lol everyone has had an encounter with a corsa, one way or another in the uk, but due to our petrol prices, ewe're unlucky enough not to afford v6's and v8's!! big up the auzzi v-dubbers!!

Those Corsa/Barina's go very well. I had a 2004 Barina SRi, and it went great. It was awesome on semi slicks, and it ate up 6 cylinder Falcons and Commondores.
