Old Skool cool cars

[Gandi69]

Used to be into my old metros many moons ago, ive had more of them than I care to mentione. i'd love another but cant you cant find them today (not at sensible money anyway). This was the last one I built that I think is still going somewhere in the country:

Still got a 16v converted vtr but it looks worse than this picture now:

That metro looks good!

 

[Gandi69]

I would love one of those. Must be rare now.

Very rare indeed if you want a genuine gti and the prices have gone up accordingly

This was my 1st car after 4 lessons got it for £500 had it a week and my dad was worried I would kill myself so the guy I had it off gave me my money back

That was the thing with the gti, even in the spi form like the one picture they felt a like a rocket compared to the more mundane models but they didnt look too different so most people assumed it was just an old slow metro.

That metro looks good!

thanks mate, it was a rare late one in black and it had all the options like half leather seats and opening rear windows which not many got. I put a 1.8 143 vvc in it after the original 1.4 head gasket went pop in a big way due to the previous owner doing a poor job of fitting a replacement.

That green Corsa only went for £2650 I thought it was awesome! I love sh*t like that!!

You hero! Thats the very boy!

These would be a laugh!

[marinemackay2003]

These, always fancied one, may still get one

Aye? I'd love to know more about them!

 

[cat171]

Aye? I'd love to know more about them!

Me too! iirc he was a bit of a weirdo, and he'd always chat on about his car & how great it was. I don't think he'd ever had a Clio.
Mention of it here (way back when)

There used to be someone on here yeeeeeeears ago with one of those Almeras.

On the topic of Metro's a few mates had GTi's which if you haven't been in one are actually scary quick. My mate also had a 120bhp metro turbo -

My old XSI and Gti were just too mint!

How long ago was that. Doesn't seem that long ago at all.

I mentioned him in the post before yours

 

[Budgie]

XSi FTW.

 

[Sir_Dave]

XSi FTW.

Indeed @Budgie
Here's yours in front of a big tree, instead of in one

the goodwood

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Minis are not hatches I know.

We'll kinda not...[emoji23]

Was mine for 8 year's. [emoji41]

 

[Mr R.]

I'll post up a thread about the Mini.

KAD 4 pot calipers, with 7.9" vented disc's. [emoji41]

the goodwood

Cant remember the last time I saw a 309. My brothers mate used to have 3. Two grey ones one of which was a turbo technics number and a goodwood. I can remember being about 14 thinking they were rapid.

[cat171]

I never liked the 309, to me they were always the 205's ugly older brother.

 

[Clio_fool]

My old XSI and Gti were just too mint!

When I passed my test at 18 my mum had a micra that was due for replacement, how I talked them into getting a 106 Xsi I don't know! Had some great fun in that little car. I had a mint 106 gti too, bought brand new in 98, China Blue, great car that my mum took over when I went abroad!

I'm older than I should be!

 

[Waitey]

I want a 16v XSi. Can't find one anywhere!

 

[Clio_fool]

And that's why all these old hatches are sillt money now. All us old farts want another to relive our youth but there's not enough cars to go around. I see 8v integrale's are fetching £10k now. Just WOW!

I'm older than I should be!

[gwyn rallye]

Great thread! Some fantasic cars in here, particularly the french stuff, just love them. A few of mine over the years....

And the current Rallye...

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Always liked the looks of the Proton, just the Interior is plain nasty.

[Short Norman]

my 1988 5 GT turbo from back in 1995

must have had some snow that year...

 

[MrBlonde]

Cheers for all the postive feedback lads & enjoying the thread!!

 

[Gaz_]

Also had the urge for one of these

Bet there are no standard ones around now. They could be made daft quick, just had chocolate gearboxes :-(

 

[Mr R.]

Massive love for an Imp, my wife made me sell mine...

:tongueout::tongueout:

 

[KitsonRis]

This thread is going to be the end of me. My eBay search is now retro cars and I have been tempted so many times.

 

[cat171]

That Imp is awesome!!! :hearteyes:

 

[Mork of Ork]

Why would someone do that to an S1 Esprit?! :weary:

 

[Gorms]

My mate had a metro GTA for a first car and it was so much fun.

 

[Daz...]

I wish I had taken more pictures of my old cars.

I don't think I have a single picture of my old XR2i's or my Nova GSi. I should have a couple of my Fiesta RS Turbo, that's the only car I regret selling

 

[Ills]

One of only two cars I regret selling.

 

[leeds_182]

No regrets

 

[josh11490]

I will own an S1 Rallye oneday...

Almost bought a 16v S2 rallye in a white about 2 years ago, but when looking over the car it was covered in rust, looked brilliant though and I couldn't get rid of my rust free GTi for a car that's basically the same with rust.

 

[Chris_Beer]

I am so grateful that I grew up with these sort of cars!

This thread makes me happy!

Such a shame so few are available now 😧
