A 1969 vw beetle 1500
standard when i bought it except for the colour(john deere tractor yellow)
Great fun car
drove it newquay to exeter to meet run to the sun 1988 (in the good old days when rtts was 95% vw, an not full of twits like these days) and back to newquay with a cracked engine. it refused to stop, just needed 1/2 litre of oil every 20 miles

kept it for five years and did loads of interior mods and stuck a 1600 engine in it to save on oil costs

J-plate Polo 1.0 Hatchback (start as you mean to go on  )

It was maritime blue with special 'polo player' graphics on it, and it had 13" alloys....no other mods though.....

And it was sweeeeet only the allure of a newer polo made me trade it in.

1. Make and model and colour please
2. Modifications if any,
inc: exterior, interior and engine
3. Did you have a booming system? Did you think it was cool to cruise/terrorize the streets in your home town?
4. Did you think it looke the mutts nuts at the time?
5. Did you engage in sordid/risque/illegal activities in said jamjar?

6. Did you have any 'amusing' stickers in your windows?
ie: On a Mission, My other car is a Porsche, FORD owners club.

1. Honda civic 1.1 on an 'M' plate (SLY 540M....1974). White with black vinyl roof :-[
2. Blew the engine up whilst doing 85mph
3. No, just a cheap ?30 radio
4. No, there was more rust than paint. It rusted so much that eventually I was able to see the road between the inner sill and the floor pan........probably just as well I blew it up
5. Driving whilst being able to see the road through the floor was dangerous enough for me
6. Not that I recall, but it was a long time ago now

[Helios_Blue_Valver]

1) 1981 VW Rabbit, 5 door, 1.6 liter carbbed, Beige with beige vinyl interior
2) Stratigically located speed tape on the drivers side A piller and driver side door to keep the rain off the fuse box and me.
3) old cassette deck with some sh!t speakers
4) looked more the mutt's arse
5) three of my mates and me went everywhere in that car. constantly in trouble with it. Girlfriend at the time and I spent lot's of time in the back seat and on the bonnet . got ticketed for driving through town with 2 people sitting on the bonnet and 1 on the hood.
6) no stickers that i remember


Had lot's of fun in that car. sold it to my neighbor when I bought a Camaro and regretted it so i bought a Scirroco. That old Rabbit was running up to 5 years ago when it finally died.
