quit Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 My first classic I got for a 21st birthday present Loved this car ! Had it 2 years then sold it to get a house Had a awesum alarm Few additions Just before I sold it Ran 328bhp , similar torque and was !Removed! nuts !
Jay762 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 The wheels definately improved the looks and that is a very healthy performance figure... been in the same boat though toys sold to buy house but it all sorts itself out :)
Gambit Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Wish I had one at 21 I doubt I could have even got insured :( Mind you I did have fun at 14 driving around in a 6 year old XR3I my mates dad used to let us take it out as long as it came back with fuel in it So I guess any car I got until I was 25 never really was going to feel up to much :(
quit Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 I paid 1200 a year to insure it fully comp ! Had my dad on it too Yeah I got it off a mech mate who preferred wagons he put a v4 Sti lump in it with a vf28
Gambit Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Nice. My younger brother was paying nearly £2000 for his Skyline at about 21,22 years of age I've never paid more than £700 a year fully comp for any of my cars, would grieve me. Mind you I'm that tight if the car infront uses it's windscreen washers I will get as close as I can to get some free screen wash
Jay762 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I was paying £1200 tpft for my bike at that time so was limited when it came to my car think I was in Mk1 vauxhall astra 1.2 or cavalier 1800gli at that point
Gambit Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I can't remember Escort GTI I think at 21 for me
savage bulldogs Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I quite like a classic in red as you dont see to many .matt how many scoobs have you owned ?(greedy boi lol) As for me at 21i had a Mk1 astra gte ,wish I still had it as they go for silly money now :-(
Jay762 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 That is the car I should have gone for instead of the cavalier as the Mk1 Astra was a solid car - had a few faults I never got to the bottom of but solid none the less
Gambit Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Always wanted the GTE after my phase of wanting an Xr2i I know a lad used have a red one he was a bit older than me I was just leaving school but used to tear !Removed! about in it went like stink.

mikewrxturbo Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 God 21 seems like such a long time ago. I was boosting around in a red charade Gtti ! Man I loved that car.
nyall7 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Thats nice dude, i bet you had loads of fun at 21 with it.
