  1. Saw this on Car Throttle the other day, needless to say that Citroen isn't going anywhere anytime soon! :p
    1.8 liter first car? You Americans... :rolleyes: As long as you love it then that's what matters! Thanks for sharing, Inuyasha! :D
  2. It's a first car, what do ya expect! :p

    I would of gotten a Ford F250 Diesel or a GT Mustang, but I wanted something more efficient. Ya know what I mean?
  3. What do I expect? I expect something with a smaller engine xD Here in the UK, we can't usually afford anything over 1.5L on insurance for new drivers :p Most people get 1.4s as first cars as that's all we can afford >_>
  4. If I would of got the truck or mustang, those are like a 5.0liter engine!
  5. I do like the Mustang :D Shame they haven't ever done them here in the UK, only ones here are imports... Apparently they're going to start production of the brand new ones here soon though which is great!
  6. That sounds awesome! I love the front end and the back with the new ones, which is why I want one really bad!

    My dream car would be this beauty!

    Or this monster!


    I would rather prefer the Jaguar in my opinion! Love that car!
  7. The new Mustang does look great :)

    As for the Jaguar, I'm not as much of a fan, but I hear that it is a great car! :D
  8. You have to admit, just looking at it makes you feel tingly on the inside! If I owned that car, I would never want to leave it out of my site! haha

    One day I will own that car! I just need $122,000 for a custom one. If anyone want's to buy it for me, I'd love ya and buy you a taco! hehe :p
  9. It is a nice looking car, there's sometimes one near the train station in my town :D Ohh not much then, good luck with your dream! :p
  10. This is my car but with one difference, it's not a v8

    This is the 1999 Ford Explorer Limited Edition. Great car!

    The engine I have is a 4.0L V6 instead of this picture shown for a 5.0L V8

    I imagine this thing is very hard to find in the UK :p

  11. This thread also reminded me I need to get some maintenance on it well see ya!
  12. I quite like this, nice choice!

    I doubt you could find one of these in the UK - if so, they would be nowhere near as cheap as they would be there because of all the importing and mainetenance etc. >_> The insurance on this thing would be insane for a new driver too, but older drivers with no claims bonus would be able to have something like it...

    Shame they didn't do Fords like that over here, but there are some nice ones about!
  13. Here's an image for y'all :p

    Coincidentally, I saw a black Jaguar F-Type yesterday! Saw it in the train station car park by college, there's usually some quite nice cars in there and I certainly wasn't disappointed!

  14. I have finally received my Audi quattro parts! I now have the two C Pillar events, time to buy the rest of the car ;) Anyone have fifteen thousand pounds spare? :rolleyes:

    In all seriousness, it's good that I bought these. They are rare and if I ever need them on my car in the future then I have these as a spare set to use, and they're also a good investment. All I'd need to do it strip down the yellow paint on it, paint it to match my quattro and then screw it on. I may take a picture of it for you all later :)

  15. I saw an interesting Citroen C2 yesterday... Matte black, orange spoiler and highlights, shiny wheels, lowered springs, and it was pretty loud and speedy too! Not bad, I'd never have thought that I'd see a C2 quite like that - though I have seen some rally spec ones at Castle Combe! :p

  16. Saw some more interesting cars in Cardiff today, believe I saw a tastefully modified Toyota Soarer and a Mitsubishi FTO. Also saw an awesome Vauxhall Nova that was spitting flames and it made a gun shot sound from its exhaust right by Anon and I! Scared me half to death! :p

  17. Some slightly bad news for next year, Japfest isn't going to be hosted at Castle Combe, it's going to be at Silverstone... Annoying, because that means that it isn't going to be very close to us now :( It will be a bigger track and there could potentially be more cars, but I know my way around Combe so it would have been nice if it had stayed there!
  18. Planning to get some work experience next year and I may be able to get some with rally car conversion. I'm not one hundred percent sure if I'll get on it yet, but I'll let you know how things pan out! :)

  19. Forgot to mention but in the morning yesterday, I saw a Nissan GTR on the way to college, and it was nice :cool: The train station car park wasn't too bad either, a couple of new Porsches!
