Due to popular demand I thought I would put a post together of my car history, As it is I have been driving 5 years and am on my 4th car!
Due to insurance I couldn't get anything fast to start with so I got myself a 1.1 fiesta in Ash Black... (warning these pictures may be offensive)
1.1 Fiesta
And so the dragon wagon was born!!!
After some guidance the car started to show some promise as I removed a few bits and lowered it:
I soon turned my attention to the interior, I did things differently but it actually went down well with most people:
The need to mod kept getting at me and I eventually gave in to the idea of 17's. Funny as the little 1.1 engine stuggled to do anything with those wheels, 70mph was for down hill only!
Actually half way through my 1.1 ownership I blew the engine! Only cost me £150 for another one fitted!
2.0 Fiesta
After a year I got bored and needed more speed so I bought an Ash Black 2.0 SI... It was relatively standard looking to start with, but it soon become... The dragon wagon 2.0...
Eventually the need for speed took hold so I got a K&N induction kit and a get of piper fast road cams!!
And as always if you go faster you need to stop fast, ST150 brakes...
As I didn't want to mess with the interior this time I went for under the bonnet:
Unfortuantly the 2.0 was plagued with problems I won't list them all but here is a few pictures of how the car looked on a regular basis:
After 2 years as much as a loved the car I had to give it up as it was costing too much to keep it running. In these 2 years it required, new suspension, brakes, 1 head gasket and 1 new engine, nevermind a whole range of smaller problems
Saxo VTS
After a bad experience with the fiesta a French car seduced me while I was at my most vulnerable... The Saxo VTS...
When I bought it it looked like this:
As time went on I added my own touches for it to become:
The Dark Side:
I didn't mess with the Saxo anywhere near as much as I classed the pictures above as complete and it didn't need anything more.
The Saxo was bought as more of a stop gap while a got another fiesta..... But I fell in love with it instead.
The Saxo lasted me just short of 2 years, then a few problems with the MOT pushed me on. The problems weren't huge but I was already playing with the idea of a new car.
C2 VTS
Still seduced my the dark side I bought the C2 and really love it.
Still not modded this one (unless you include a headunit change). All I plan is an air filter and I may not even bother with that. As far as standard setup going its an amazing car to drive.
The future.... Who knows I plan to hold onto the C2 for a good few years now
