I think the term you are looking for is car enthusiast Quite like me really. Were the corsa's red tops? CLET? ZLET?

First one was just a 1.4 and second one was x16xe 1.6 16v sport, I think it ran 128BHP on the rollers but I could not destroy that car for love nor money, everything since has been a money pit Honestly that red Corsa was a fantastic motor! That vs. the Type R for my faves really.

Honda Civic EX 1.6 16V (Got this after watching Fast and Furious )

Chevrolet Corsa Wagon GLS 1.6 16V

Spoiler

Fiat Marea Turbo 2.0 20V (It was sold in Brazil with the same engine as the Fiat Coupe Turbo) after some preparation it got 360CV, it used to do 10mi/gal or 2.2mi/l on Ethanol

Fiat Uno Mille ELX (Had this together with the Marea, used when visiting clients)

Spoiler

UK:
Renault Laguna Privilege 2.0 16V (2 years of ownership here and I used it less than 3k miles, so I sold it and didn't buy another car)

Spoiler

Living in London I don't need a car, I already thought about getting a S2000 or a 911, but would be a waste of money.

 

[adam cool dude]

Haha yes a little, I am still a fan of BMW but I can't deal with the service from the BMW anymore.

Technically the first car i drove wasnt owned by me as it was my dads, but it was a 55 plate Focus 1.6

Focus ST

Spoiler

Focus RS

Think my next car needs to be something other than a Focus

 

[pepsilol]

You must have passed your test a little older than 17 I assume then, if that's your 8 year history? Or do you just have a lot of money?

Yes when I was 17. I'm richer than EliottJames.

 

[brightside229]

My first car was a Rover 214 SLI in green, was a horrible car, it kept over heating and losing all its coolant, and the battery was toast so every now and again i had to jump start it had it for around 6 months before i ended up selling it for £250.



Second car was a black 2005 vauxhall corsa 1.2 Design, had it for around 3 years until i ended up rolling it close to home when a tyre blew at at high speed.



3rd car was a honda civic ep2 sport, had this car for nearly 4 years, loved this car and was sad when i part-ex'd for my next car.



And my current car is a HONDA S2000 which i will have owned for about 9months

I like the outside of some BMW, but the interior I just hate the dashboard with a passion. They've never changed since an E30, it's just not modern and nice, yak!

Yes when I was 17. I'm richer than EliottJames.

No one is richer than ElliotJames!

On a serious note though, I am guessing you are/were slightly parent funded and they own a business or had a lottery win at some point? And you now maybe work for them? Or got very lucky in some kind of job?
