[Matt16v]

I had a lovely 1.4 RT 5 door in Black. 53k Bought it in 1999 it was a 1992 K reg. Paid £3,750 for it.

Had it colour coded de-locked, lowered, exhaust, started with 15" rims then went for 17s. Had a sweet sound system as well. (Still got it)

So no it wasnt a sh*tter.

 

[cutlercup]

My brother was the 1st one out of our lot to get a car --

Y reg fiesta popular plus, 1.1

he added blacked out windows (bin liner type - from charlie Browns)

About 6 massive spot lights mounted on the front bumper,

No stereo, we had a rasta blasta on the back seat, we just put that on full blast (loadsa distortion), and took turns replacing the batteries!

We cruised round Showcase Cinema - clutch down revving to any birds standing by, we were the bollox !!

Cant believe we thought we looked cool, bet the girls were well impressed !

 

[cliotuRS]

vw polo 1.0 £500. rare model with air pipe that sat over the carb and froze over when driving hence cut off every 30mins and cut the engine off no matter where i was and i had to fire it up on the fly. nearly killed me about 10 times... then i had a £1500 rover 214sli (old shape) a lot better than the polo as it had power steering, comfy seats, better heating and squidgy suspension also had around 105hp !!!! lol. thats the only cars i had driven or owned really made me appreicate what i have and makes me laugh when most people complain about the cheap modern day cars like the clio.. my 172MKII is still inifinatley better than the other pieces of crap ive owned and ive never really had anyproblems compared with the other two needing new stuff everyweek.

 

[MikeC]

[Rob555]

Fiesta 950Pop..C reg cost 750 to buy and insurance was 850quid. Had it for 18months and put 26000mils on it visiting mates at Uni etc so pretty reliable. Needless to say after that my 2nd S1 RS Turbo was a little better.

[Mack]

1997 Renault Clio started on 37000

Now on 50000, never broken down, no urgent repairs (apart from at MOT).
Nothing Sh*t about it, apart from the dials which look like they came of a car 10 years older.

 

[McBunny]

my xr2 was a great car but certainly not the best car to date even tho it was my first

 

[badinvincible]

52 plate Clio Extreme. It was great fun!

 

[cat171]

i had a fiesta 1.1 ghia on a C reg (about 6 years ago) it took me ages to find a decent one, it cost me £600 & £700.00 to insure it.
as i was embarassed that it was a 1.1 i de badged it so it just said fiesta ghia on the back, i added a decent system to it as well.


sadly it met its death when one night i thought i could see more than i could & stuffed it head on into some railings & wrote it off, on a road i saw all the time!!
I got quite a bit of money for the spares as well, it was only then that i realised what a sh*tter it actually was !
