That Car Meme That's Going Around
16 years ago
General
Enthieved from Bjorn.
I've had loads of cars, I went through a period of changing them a lot a while ago. I can't really afford to any more. I sold a pair just last week to help me pay for food/shelter. Still picking up the pieces of having my life cruelly destroyed, really. These are the main ones.
1. Ford Capri.
I may be a very old, but this was the first car I had, and I still have it.
Cologne V6, minor suspension upgrades, but otherwise standard.
2. Opel Astra GTE
With a Spax lowering kit. Bought it for a tenner, because it'd been smashed up by vandals.
Fastest fooking thing of its kind, would slay a Golf GTI, 205 GTi, 318iS...
3. Opel Astra
Same as the other one, but cheaper to insure, and in better condition.
Not a GTE, and was unmodified.
4. Ford Capri
Another one, bought for spares for my original one,
but decided to put it on the road. Still have it. Rusting away.
5. Austin Montego
Absolute fucking rubbish.
Binned within a few weeks.
6. Volvo 740
Strong car.
My dad ran over my little kitten in it, and I didn't want it any more.
7. Austin Metro
Cheap stop-gap car, was truly horrible. Was abbreviated into a pick-up,
then I broke the gearbox linkage driving over rocks, so I smashed it up with a digger and buried it.
8. Ford Sierra
Basic 1.6 model. Plain. Very very plain.
This is one of the ones I sold just recently.
9. Porsche 944 Turbo
...lag. Bought on eBay one drunken evening.
It was great, but smelled so bad I gave it back.
10. BMW E30 320i
The sleeper. Had it stolen and almost completely destroyed.
I still have it, it's now sporting forcefed ITBs for serious power.
11. Cosworth Sierra
Moving up. Much like the other Sierra but with boost.
Started falling apart after a while since I abused it.
12. BMW E30 325iC
My current runner. A bit shit mechanically. Will be taking it to shows.
Considering supercharging, nothing lairy, just want more power.
There's been a few others, mostly ones that I've borrowed from friends and family. I've missed out my old Land Rover, fook knows what happened to that. But now I've come full-circle, because I'm getting back into the original Capri.

You can see the point at which I got fed up with front-wheel-drive wrongness.
Your car legacy is Legacy cars.
Lol, this'd be a real short one for me.
If you've had more girlfriends than cars,
then you've had a decent degree of success in life.
Could be worse,
you could be a single motoring journalist.

I used to have a really good job working for a big media organisation. I left it to be with someone, who didn't even care about the huge sacrifices I made for them, and now I have to work my way up from the bottom again, while they're carrying on with their lives and jumping into bed with whatever comes along, no doubt laughing at how stupid I was, and still believing that I was ungrateful, even when they did less than nothing to be with me and I'd given up everything for them.
Land Rovers are the shit! There was an import company back in L.A. before I left, that brought in a bunch of the military scout cars and ambulances. I'd have killed for one of the ambulances.
I wouldn't mind another one, but they've managed to stay horribly overpriced recently.
