January 22, 201412 yr 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 !
January 23, 201412 yr 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 :)
January 23, 201412 yr 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 :(
January 23, 201412 yr Author 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
January 23, 201412 yr 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
January 23, 201412 yr 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
January 23, 201412 yr 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 :-(
January 23, 201412 yr 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
January 23, 201412 yr 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.

August 26, 201411 yr God 21 seems like such a long time ago. I was boosting around in a red charade Gtti ! Man I loved that car.
