1998 saw the end of my company car days, a combination of a shit blue mondeo, the punishing company car tax and the fact that i started working for myself.

my very own company car would be a 1994 rover 820 fastback. i thought it was the business. it nearly put me out of business. my very first weekend of owning it i drove to scotland, and was told around lockerbie by a helpful aa man that the gearbox seals were knackered, and spraying oil everywhere. i wondered where all the smoke was coming from.

i hated the car from the moment i bought it, and had no confidence in it. it turned out the car was clocked, and instead of 60K miles on the clock it should have read 160K. i learned a lesson that day, namely if you ever come across a car salesman in hampshire called malcom seal, avoid this crooked bastard.

i was stuck with a car i couldnt sell, so it sat in my garage. to cheer myself up i bought a brand new nissan 200sx. this thing was a flying machine, and brilliant fun to drive.. but after accumulating 9 points in the first 6 weeks of owning it, i new it had to go.....

My first car was a 1994 1.4 Vauxhall Corsa...


I then upgraded to a 1999 1.2 Vauxhall Corsa...

(Wasnt this car but the reg was very similar...Mine was V293 HNP)

I then got this beauty...My favourite Car... My 52 plate Honda Civic Type R in Nighthawk Black...


I Sold that bad boy and went to Australia where i bought this run around...A Vauxhall Barina(Another corsa)

ok, so the 200sx had to go. i was now getting into the habit of changing cars every few months. i guess it was just a phase i was going through.

I fell in love with a mercedes e class coupe/convertible. It was gorgeous. dark metallic green, with cream leather interior. it was only a year old and it was a main dealer car, but i had figured with the trade in for my nissan and a couple of grand, and i would be ok. imagine my surprise when he offered me 10 GRAND less than i had paid for it. that guy was very lucky not to get a sore face that day. I stormed off, and ended up at the jaguar dealership, where they had a beautiful green xj6 sitting on the forecourt for the same money as the merc. I thought the merc was nice, but once you sat in the jag, it just felt right. it was beautiful. it was one of the last 'old shape' jags and it was fully loaded. he offered me book on the nissan, and a deal was done, except i then said 'any interest in an old rover 820? only 60K miles on the clock....he took it, and the whole deal ended up costing me about 500 quid in readies.

of course about 10 days later i got an irate phonecall from the dealership 'this cars been clocked' 'REALLY? thats shocking....bye'

this was a truly great car. 4.0Litre straight 6 engine. 20mpg but who cared business was good. I remember the day i got it, i went to show my parents it, and ended up going down to the shops to pick up my mum. i was like one of those scenes from a film where the boy done good comes home.

i have a picture of it somewhere i will post it in a bit. wonder where the car is now...

#2 for me


2L Auto, I thought it was the b*ll*cks but in fact looking back it was b*ll*cks.

#3 in black though.


I loved this car. i spent a few quid making it faster, fast road cam, engine blueprint and racing manifold and exhaust. Zender twin light conversion.
Unfortunately although it was pretty quick I never even gave the brakes a thought.. oops! I did remember eventually when I couldn't stop at a crossroads and hit a mini metro.
That was 25 years ago and started me on a VW love affair. I've had 8 of them and currently have this in black.

thats an r32. much faster than a gti

i wanted my missus to buy one of them, until the salesman out on the test drive decided to be an arsehole and scared the crap out of her. nice one. she ended up getting a Gti somewhere else, but i keep wondering what could have been...

It's probably not that much faster but the V6 engine is so torquey. It's got the DSG box which is fantastic and smooth. It just annoys me how much these things cost nowadays in comparison to my first GTi.
