    SUNDERLAND AFC........Why on earth is there room for two teams?
    Go on then what was it.
    The first car registered in my Name was a Peugeot 309 GTI. Bought it from a mate. It was lowered with a full body kit on when i got it and went like shit off a shovel (well for 97 standards anyway). It soon went however as the clutch kept going. before that i had a tank.

    A Renault 11 TC ... a complete and utter bag of .....

    I got rid of it as fast as possible and then worked my way through a range of Ford Fiesta's a MKII look alike with alloys and body kit, followed by a lovely pea green one, and last but not least the 2 tone brown and gold one until the head blew, after that I sarted to purchase sensible cars that were not at deaths door :D

    Datsun 210 many many moons ago. Not sure whether you had Datsuns in the UK or not. Anyhow, they are now known as Nissans.

    My first was an Opel Corsa 1.2 (1992-2001)... Then Renault Megane coupe 1.9 (2001-now) I also have an old Mercedes E300 (when i mean old, i mean OLD... near 20 years). Soon i will go to Germany to buy a new Mercedes, probably after the summer (so if anyone is actually interested in a Megane... ;))

    Ford Cortina MkV.

    Bought it from a car auction in Bradford for £330. On the way to my sisters in Leeds, realised the clutch was dead. On closer inspection, the passenger door was so rusty that when you open it, bits were falling off it. Back doors wouldn't open. Higher milage on the MOT than the speedo (police didn't want to know), speedo wouldn't work, brakes kept jamming on when reversing the car.......spent another £600 fixing it in Leeds before taking it home to London.

    Kept it for 10 months before the bigends went and the boot was rusting away from the rest of the car. Sold it for scrap for £40 though that was because it had the Ghia wheels on, which the breakers yard wanted!

    2001 Corsa, Moved up to a 2003 Corsa SXi, and I still have it. I drive everywhere cause I'm a lazy bastard, and in the 5 years I've had it, it's done 16,000 miles.

    I need to drive more.

    I've had a Toyota Yaris for 1 year.

    Thinking of getting a new car now because I want more power now that I've passed.

    I've looked at a 1.4 Astra , 1.4. Corsa SXI , 1.3 Mazda 2 and a Citreon C4 1.4 16v
