Corsa after roughly £15k:
Bought a TT and split the Corsa to pay for it:
House deposit meant TT had to go, replaced with a GT TDi:
Golf is for sale and looking for something sporty and petrol again!

First car was a 02 saxo vtr in red, no pictures of it on my laptop though. Bought it damaged and fixed it up with my dad.
2nd car, another saxo vtr
Had an escort van at the same time as the vtr. 3 spokes as standard 
Also had a 106 rallye at the same time
After the saxo came my corsa gsi c20let, the reason I'm on this site
I then decided to strip it down and completely rebuild it and respray it. Ended up losing interest and selling it in bits 
After the corsa I bought a mk4 golf gt tdi
Next was a mk4 astravan
After the mk4 was a mk5 astravan
Which ended up like this after some arsehole pulled out infront of me on a dual carriageway 
Civic type R
My first mr2 turbo
Also got a astra gsi while I had the type R and mr2, hated it.
Sold these 3 to buy my evo 9
My 2nd mr2 turbo, used this for a few months then sold to my mate
Now have a new VW caddy van too but no pics yet. Got some wheels etc to fit after winter. And some nice corsa vxr leather recaros. Currently trying to sell the evo and going to get a new car at the beginning of next year in time for the baby.

My first car was a MK3 Polo which was stolen from the previous owner but he didn't want it no more so all I had to pay was the storage fees.
Tidied it up a bit doing a few little mods here and there,
I then managed to crash it in the drive way, I planted the accelerator thinking it was the brake and drove straight into a post
I then got the 2nd Polo, another 1.0 costing me £100 this time
Which ended up like this and then I got bored.
After that I concentrated on passing my driving test, which I did so went and bought this 1.4 Astra, ran it for a few months and then sold it on.
Then last year I bought this 1.0 Corsa
Which is now looking like this
So out off all the cars I've owned, the only one that has been on the road is the Astra which was only for 2 months
While I've been doing the work on the Corsa for the last year, yes it took me a year , this is what I've been driving around in

first car....
started as this
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j259/mattlindop88/old%20stuff/DSC00056.jpg
(big picture and despite resizing it it wont show up any smaller  )
minus the backbox...
way tooo much money later ended up like this...
dent was thanks to some ar5e in a carpark who decided to drive off and not leave details.
by this point i was working/earning more and the car was too slow for my liking and was gradually dying... so stripped bits off and then sold to my brother while he was looking for another car after coming back from travelling...
i then started looking for my next car and foolishly went for the first quicker car i saw...
turned out to be terrible to drive but was epic on fuel so had this for a few years got bored and got it mapped also had whiteline arb + spacers + rs6 replica wheels on in its life but all got taken off and sold on.... so thanks to it being good on fuel i had a weekend toy...
so was running both for around 6months then ibiza started to have a few issues along with the zed needed a few things looking at and the cost of running the zed despite it only being a weekend car was rediculous so sold that on (miss it so much ) then traded the ibiza in for my current car...

Started with a white 1.0 Nova which I turned into an SR replica (no pictures of this)
Then bought a standard black Nova Gsi which I still own 10 years on. (has had XE and then LET and various other changes over the years)
In the meantime got a Renault 5 turbo to run round in. Only had 45k on the clocks and spent a fair bit getting it up to 180bhp. Really regret selling this.
Got rid of the 5 as it was too thirsty and wanted to put the Nova back on the road. Bought a yellow Nova SR which was rough and fitted an XE but left the rest totally standard, was terrifying. (no pics of this)
Then found a red Nova GSi for £500 and bought this and dropped the XE in that and scrapped the yellow SR. Had this for a year (again no pics)
Then made a massive mistake and sold the Nova to buy this.
Slow for a 2.0 turbo and drank fuel like mad. Went round corners well though. Had it for a year and then bought another Nova and dropped an XE in again.
Rust killed that off and the XE ended up in a Corsa Gsi
Then bought my first mk1 MR2 at this time.
Dropped a 2.0 in it but was disappointed.
Broke the car for parts and bought a 2.0 turbo converted one.
Also bought another turbo one for parts.
Took the best bits off it and sold it to a mate who put it back on the road.
Decided to sell the Corsa as it was getting a bit old and I'm doing 13k mile commute a year so bought this.
Absolutely love this car, 113k miles and still drives so well and still loves being revved to 8.5k.
So currently still have the Civic, white MR2 turbo and black Nova turbo.

corsa 1.2 sxi - got this in june 2006 after passing my test, written off by some wanker who pulled out into the side of it. fixed it up and sold it on to my neighbour.
fiesta zetec s - bit of an impulse buy in july 2007 after starting my new job at ford and needing a car to get to work, wasted so much money on it.
focus st3 - traded the fiesta in for this in july 2008, thought it was the fastest thing on the planet at the time loved having a nice new fast car at 20 years old. sold it in february 2010.
puma 1.7 - bought this in january 2010 whilst the focus was up for sale as needed the money for a house deposit. couldn't fit in it at first and had to have the drivers seat all the way back to drive it. currently breaking it for parts after the gearbox went.
fiesta 1.25 - bought this fiesta as i got it cheap in april 2011 because of where i work. got it for the missus' 21st birthday, but she hasn't passed her test yet so i've been driving it around, so slow

Started out with a Ford KA that my auntie gave to me (no pictures of it)
decided i wanted something sport about 7 months later got a corsa 1L (pics i had where lost when laptop popped)
realised a corsa wasnt sporty
was bitten by the french bug
and currently
Would like to think thats a steady upwards progression certainly in performance.
