Miss your old car ? Why ? 
 
I miss my R5, looked awesome considering it was only a look a like, below are picd of what it looked like early on in its life, and the stages it went through under my ownership. 
 
How it used to look (when previous owner had it) 
 
  
 
How it looked when i bought it (for £300 !) 
 
  
 
  
 
When i had it colour coded... 
 
  
 
When i crashed it... 
 
  
 
When i fixed it, and put the finishing touched on... 
 
  
 
And the interior...

Oh, and please stop changing your avatar.

  Thought it looked a bit Pandary or possibly Unoee, but did not wish to offend by asking if it was one, in case it wasn't.

i felt it was time to move on.... sold to a lad in the local town 
 
I miss the weekend cleaning and maintaining  the body... which silly enough is one of the reasons i sold   
 
Friends, my garage and even people on here have spotted it being ragged.. selling local is a mistake i will never do again, i dont see it often myself tbh but when i do it annoys me

My 1st modded car, miss it for the fact no matter how old people were it would turn their heads as it went past 
 
  
 
Punto GT was just silly quick & wheelspin in the wet was stupid, but it used to crap people up as the dump valve was so violent when it went off   
 
  
 
Corsa GSi 2.0 16v, just had a pure fun element to it

Loved this car, my first car - modded before i passed my test 
all it needed was a 2ltr in it and it would have been a cool sleeper 
 
sold to Adam-D's mate (phyco clutch)

me and my mates got bored one day and decided to chuck some white steelies on it, well they used to be black until one of my mates got a bit carried away.   
 
and what happened to the car, someone smashed into the back of it and wrote it off.

I saved up for months to get my bodykit, respray and engine swap all done at the same time, but sold it in a moment of madness to an asylum seeker who fucked it up within a few weeks.
