Year started with ownership of a 206 GTI I bought in September 2007. It was the first "fast" car I owned and I loved every minute of it, was a real head turner.
Had a few little niggly problems that I was struggling to get rid of. Girlfriend then decided to buy a new Fiesta in March so I took ownership of her Mini Cooper that I had bought her in December 2006
I was always planning on getting rid of the Mini in summer once the finance expired so I began to look around for my next car. After much deliveration including Audi A3's, Clio 182's and VW Golf's, I opted for a Vauxhall Astra. Then it was time to find one I wanted. Realised I wanted a sporthatch with XP and in Silver Lightning. After coming across a bargain, picked up my 57 plate Astra XP with 5k on the clock for £11k which I was delighted with. This is how it looked when I picked it up in September:
and how it looks now (after a few subtle mods  )
All in all, another expensive year

started off my year without a car.. after this little mishap in december
A little time on ebay brought up this little gem and i drove it around for a little bit.. 12A rotary power 
Got rid of that when it started playing up every day..
then finished off my red corsa i had bought in march '07 and had pretty much ignored!
went from:
to
Sold that and went and bought myself a car for track abuse..
Its currently sat in my garage waiting more goodies and some good weather for some abuse..
So i am driving this beasty everyday.. mazin..
Not much likely to change next year unless somthing better comes along for little money - or somthing bad happens

Started off with this
125cc of powahhh
Then passed test in Feb and got this two long weeks later
When I bought it it was missing the front trims and was minus the brows, and this is how it is today
Hopefully it will look something like this by the end of next year (minus the brows again  - that's an old pic)
Couldn't quite lower it properly with the angle of that pic but it'll be going down 60mm
Edited: Just knocked up another shop

Well its been a good and bad year for me...........
Swapped my 328i sport for this a few months b4 Xmas 2007 as the GF didnt like driving it in the rain as it was a tad twitchy and she was in-experienced with RWD......
With 313bhp and set-up for the road and track,it was an animal.Really wish i still had it and the temptation too txt the guy who i sold it too gets the better of me to see if he still has it.
Got banned for 6months and kept it and let the GF drive it about for a few months,then got some quotes for when i got my licence back but they were crazy so had to sell it.
Had a P1 with P2 front and rear end 306 Dturbo inbetween cars as a runabout that wee used on deliveries.Was running 1.3 bar boost and after getting it MOT'd it started to fuk up so sold it on.......
Then i got her a 1400 Corsa Sport but she was used to driving the Pulsar and got pd off having something so slow so i talked her into letting me XE it.
Went thro lots of different stages and 3 sets of wheels and it eventually looked like this when i sold it......
Got my licence back in September and started driving the Corsa.Was a fun wee car that surprised alot of so called "big power" cars but the ride started to get annoying and we wanted something a bit more comfier.
So bought the Golf.Like most of the other cars ive had it was standard and i just couldnt resist changing bits for the better.Looks like this to this day.....
Still got a few plans for the Golf after Xmas time.Trying to get hold of some D90s for it.If not then the BBS wheels will be getting re-furbed with black centres and a red lip.
