My first car was sharing with my old girl, who had it given to her by my Grandad. It was an F-reg Volvo 370 1.7. So comfy used to think I was awesome with 2peeps in the front 4 in the back lol but i gave that a bump so after I passed my A-levels my old man bought me a p-reg 1.4i Escort in white. It was lush for me and i put some 17's on it and limo black tints all round, used to cruise all night long but I sold that then for a 206xsi on an s-plate. Kitted it right out (so thats the chaviest i spose) but in a tasteful way. Then I sold that and bought a Mk4 Golf 2.0GTI 8v but sold it cos it was too slow. I decided then on a Honda Civic Type R which was awesome but burned a hole in my pocket like u dont wanna know. Then it was another 206xsi slightly modded, followed by a Mk4 Golf GTI T 180 and now I got A Mk4 Golf TDi 130. I bn driving for about 5 years but last year I went through 4 or 5 cars so im trying to keep the TDI as its fast and economical. Would like a TDI Anniversary next, so watch this space lol
