Daily isn't so Special. And it makes me sad.
Need space and time and I'll crack on with Jams si!

Catch me on Facebook as I'm rarely on here.

my first car was a fiat regata 80Super (basicly a huge uno saloon) electric everything and non of it worked.
i despised it and tryed oh so hard to kill it but it just refused to die, i ended up selling it for £30 it ended its days wrapped round a lamp post in bradford.
sad thing is if i ever found another 1 id have it

i wont boar you with my list of previouse cars as its huge.

_________________

first car was a mk4 escort 1.1..was buggered underneath altho the battery tray was solid. reverse parked it in a ditch one morning on way to work. via a telegraph pole. lesson learnt! lasted 6 weeks i think from passing my test.

next was a 1.6 cvh mk5 escort estate. was a good car to be honest till the gearbox crapped its pants. put another box in it as i needed it..gearbox that went in wasnt much cop...found some nasty rot..weighed it in lasted a year tho

needing a cheap runner...red 1.1 L fiesta..the engine had done something like 150,000 miles and was FTD couldnt kill it and i did try!. lasted as long as it had ticket...floor was super shagged and rear arches containing more snot (filler) than a 5 year olds tissue... so was binned after 12 months

sierra saff 1600 pinto.. first car i broadsided and more by luck than skill at the time i didnt hit anything. was good fun albeit not that fast. had that 2 years. the first year i welded up the crap bits...a year on it wanted a few more and i couldnt be bothered. went in the bin

Fiesta si. mallard green. never made it to 2.0 stardom..as im a perfectionist and the simply chuck a 2.0 in over the winter turned into a full on car rebuild. its going to a new home in a few weeks to have a sensible amount of work done to get it back out on the road. ran as a daily for a year. very few probs

MK2 1.6 golf..in that old person goldie yellow piss stain colour. was filth. i didnt kill it. i never serviced it or touched it. wait no thats a lie i put 2 wheel bearings on it as they howled like buggery on the way back from brands i think it was. the carb was ready for the bin in the end. got weighed in. had that 9 months. shame as it had been a loved car..the inside was lovely..if you liked brown and a smell of damp and something resplendent of an old person.

and finally my white 1.3 fiesta lx. cheap and economical daily drive...while i decide what to spend my pennies on next.


thats my list so thats 7 in total in nearly 7 years. ive not had particulary good cars for dailys or whatever. si was the best to be honest. only reason i ran crappers was cheap and easy to fix and if it got ruined i wasnt gonna cry over it!


Jam
