7. 54 Plate Clio 182
8. '06 Polo GTi
9. L plate Astra GSi
10. The current '04 Ibiza Cupra TDi
basically my reasons for buying the ibiza . . the polo was costing me a fortune, by the time i paid the finance, insurance, tax blah blah . . ! then i was lucky to get the MPG into the low 30's, which is a bit shite!!! so i got the astra with the intention of running it cheaply and having a bit of fun . . but i hated it! so que the ibiza, all the comfort and luxuries of the polo but at a fraction of the cost. And i haven't looked back since

Ok here it goes, its a long list and not all good!! so please don't fall asleep
Starting at the age of 16 (the luck of passing my test in the isle of man)
Fiesta 1.1 - Gold
Escort 1.4 - Blue
Citroen AX GT - White
Peugeot 205 1.9 GTI - Red (Written off by me)
Nova 1.2 - Burgandy
Mondeo Estate 2.0 - Black
Primera SI - 1.6 Green
Cougar 2.0 - Blue
Suzuki Vitara 1.6 - Gold (Lived in Cyprus so needed a 4x4 for taking jetski to the beach)
Renault Scenic 4x4 2.0 - Green (For the jetski)
Vauxhall Vectra 2.5 v6 - Blue
Yamaha DT 125 (for the scramble course by my house in Cyprus)
Seat Leon Cupra 1.8T - Red
Peugeot 306 1.6 - Red
Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 SXI - Green
Mitsubishi L200 2.5 - Blue
Ford Focus 1.8 TDCI - Silver
Renault Megane 1.4 - Silver
Fiat Seicento 1.1 - Green
Saab 9-3 Convertible 2.0 T - Blue
Skoda Fabia VRS 1.9 TDI - Red
Collect 08 plate Ibiza FR TDI 1.9 - Grey on Wednesday
Some of the time I have had 2 cars at a time, the car values vary due to changes in circumstances as I have moved around a lot with the military. Reason for the Ibiza I like my Fabia and think it will be similar. Saab costs too much to run for a commuting lifestyle. Missus has a 56 mile round trip and I have an 80 mile round trip hence having 2 diesels makes sense but are still fun.

Mines pretty small:
1998 'R' Reg Ford Fiesta LX 1.25
That was suprisingly nippy, my god the clutch was fierce as hell when it came to biting point and wanted to change gear as soon as you pulled off. had about 80k on the clock when i sold it. Pretty good car (especially for a first) No pics i'm afraid
2003 '52' Reg SEAT Ibiza S MK4 1.2
When I bought this I wanted a nice looking car that was reliable, wasnt too big, which wasnt common and stood out. After oohing and ahhing about a puma I really liked the look of the MK4 Ibiza and after checking out the great reviews I pretty much was sold on one. Now I don't regret it at all, i'm pretty sure my next few cars will be SEATs too. I love my MK4, only letdowns are the rattles and the lack of power but that will change when I get a MK4 FR/Cupra for my next car

First car aged 17 was a mk4 6n polo. Was a 1.6 8v, 75hp, pistachio green and 5 door. Sounds awful but i loved it! Snapped the exhaust on it, clutch cable and cambelt :| So when i sold it it had new exhaust clutch cable, newly rebuilt top end etc so new owner got a bargain!
Got a job where the office is 28 miles from my home, wasnt 100% sure on what wage id be on as an apprentice so just got a fairly cheap small engined car (as i was only 18 and insurance was daft) and polo was quite thirsty for its lack of power!
Never really felt much for that car, was too slow and a god awful colour for an 18 year old lad, so 6 months later i flogged it on and bought the first car i had proper wanted, rather than settling for:
Bought completly standard and spent a fair whack on it in my year of ownership, i know corsas wont be appreciated much on here but this thing was class. Still be 18 and work been a 56 mile a day commute, was costing too much on a modded 1.8 petrol car so saw this and fell in love:
had this 4-5 months now and think ill be keeping this one to be honest, awsome cars! Now looks like this:
Spent tons on the thing already! haha

The FR is only my Second car, bought my first car, a 2004 Corsa C SXI 1.2 16v brand new in March 2004, had it for 5 years, spent about £6k modifying to the point of it having a mad spec:
Engine:
Dbilas flowmaster
Ecotek Valve
Piper Fast Road Cams
Piper Manifold back + Sportcat
EDS Custom Stage 1.3 Software
Suspension:
Bilstein/Eibach all round
Whiteline RARB
E-Tech strut Brace (Front)
OMP Strut Brace (rear)
Black Diamond Brakes
Misc:
Irmscher Bodykit
Irmscher Interior Parts
Full ICE
HIDs kit
Now the FR, which I bought after hitting diesel on a slip road in the Corsa and spinning out, subsequently writing it off:

scott mine is in for service on friday too lol
and yours still looks good chino, whats up with ccuk havent been able to get on in days
anyways my car list
i had a ford courier van when i passed my test (wrote that off)
then got a silver corsa c which ended up looking like this, loved that car but 242,000 miles took its toll
then i went to the kandy white ibiza (i was told by seat uk it was the first one in the country in white)
and i believe from what im told is the only kandy white fr with factory fit xenons, not doin anything to the bodywork as i like it maybe lower it but ive heard stories of knocking like mad and i cba with that tbh so its just engine mods for me according to raclogic performance box it does 0-60 in 6secs which aint bad for a diesel fr in fact had some fun with a member on here called luke with a silver lcr (thread in spotted section) think he was suprised!!!!
at the dealers when i heard she arrived
then when i got her home (picked it up at 6pm a few days later) in mid november
and a quick 0-60 video on a private runway according to racelogic performance box it was a 6 second dead sprint
and because i dont want to ruin the ibiza because i rly rly rly love the car best car ive had
ive got a corsa z20let 2litre turbo which is in bits at the min but should be back on the road in about 2-3 weeks
