Car History

In order
learnt in my dads 2 litre Celica. Then had to learn to do 3 point turns slowly. I passed my test first time and have been driving for more than half my life now. I'm definately one of the oldies on the forum.

Year of car

1979 1.3 Mk II escort
1982 1.6 KE70 ? Corolla DX (2T engine)
1983 1.6 TE71 Corolla SR (2TB engine) Red. 21st birthday present. Put it on its roof 3 months later
1982 1.6 TE71 Corolla SR Silver. Rusted away to nothing
1984 1.6 Corolla GT Coupe (AE86) White. Crashed, at least i removed a Maestro from the world.
1986 1.6 Corolla GT Coupe (silver over Graphite). Stalked the car locallly, leaving notes on the windscreen until they sold it to me. Sold it own when i got the one below.
1987 1.6 Corolla GT Coupe (dim dip model) One of the last made. Swapped the engine 3 times, parked it in a ditch, sold it with no MOT and severe rust for twice what i bought it for.
1992 1.8 Nissan 200SX. Fast car, but scary with no LSD to help out. Traded it in for my Primera (see below)
1984 Corolla GT Coupe (Blue) First trackday car, sold it to James
1998 Nissan Primara GT. (Current) Needed 4 door for the kids. A good fast car but does not inspire.
1987 Corolla GT Coupe. (Current) New trackday car, been featured in a magazine with previous owner. Bought it believing it was in better condition that it was. Now it needs welding, new LSD.........
