    Do you like my Micra then?

    It's black. And shiny. And obviously superior.

    Really need to sort all the dents out though :hehe:

    Lets see here,
    first car '86 Plymouth Duster (a total POS)(my younger sis and I thrashed it)
    '91 Toyota truck (crashed it)
    '86 Monte Carlo (loads of fun to drive but had major electrical probs, stereo stopped working, powerwindows died, a/c died but had t-tops :rock: )
    and now I'm driving
    a '97 Pontiac Grand Prix (great car, Sporty with power and yet still has room for the car seat in the back!)
    and the wife's car is '01 Honda CRV
    that's my cars in a nutshell!


    edit needed, thanks for pointing out my error Froggy and thanks for reminding me that it was a 'Plymouth Duster' Penski!

    Honda Prelude 2.2 vTec - Crashed, lost license!
    Renault Clio 1.4 Auto - cheap insurance with new license!
    Corsa 1.4 16v - cheap insurance but much nicer!

    Next buy: Toyota Mr2 Turbo or another Prelude 2.2 vTec when license is clean in a few months ;)

    '87 mr2 mark1 - cool car but was written off by crap garage

    I said owned.

    They're all either rotting in a scrapheap somewhere, rolled into a little ball or burned out in a scrapheap after being rolled into a little ball. I used to race them...and they were barely roadworthy when I got them.
