Well I have been on the road 5 years Today!

In that time I have taken out 7 insurance policies on 5 different cars and all I have to show for it now is 1 years NCB Laugh

1st Car: '94(M) 106 Inca Diesel 3dr.
2nd: '89(G) MG Metro Turbo in Flame Red Cool (bought for £300 when I was 16 with 68k on the clock)
3rd: '97® Honda Civic LS 1.6i Coupe. I was going to replace with an EK9 but I ended up going for the car I had wanted from the age of 14........
4th: '98(S) GTi6 P2.5 Love
Which brings me to my current car which I would never had bought if it was not for the blasted Badger! Angry
5th: '00(X) Focus 1.8 Zetec. Sad To be fair even though it is a Ford it is fairly enjoyable to drive but Im sure you can guess which of the above was my favourite Wink

I went on the old fella's insurance for the 205 when I passed, £1500 odd quid 3rd party only.

When you're young it doesn't matter that much I guess. I would've paid anything just to drive the thing!

I had my Metro Turbo for two years before I passed. It was a non runner when I bought it as the syncromesh had gone in the G/box but when I got it back with the recon G/box fitted and T+T all I wanted to do was drive it!! Hyper In hindsight I really should have shopped around before insuring it Wink

Thanks Jamma. I did think Astor was my Favourite colour but seeing some of the pics of yours and mine has swayed my opinion back Wink Yea I do need another. Pugfest would be good even without one but with one would be EPIC! Thumbs up
I loved my smooth front end the bumper was my favourite part I think.

Did you not rate the m3s? Or is it a case of the french bug.

did rate it, just the gti6 is super throwable. everytime it snowed the m3 left me stranded LOL going 4wd nutter soon in the form of a 911 996 turb, lets see how the 6 compares to that! to be fair the m3 was a good example and almost brand new inside and out, shouldn't have sold it really

Thought this was going to be a thread about 5 years of ownership. Similar to the one I didn't start a week ago about the BLF as quite frankly it's not massively interesting.

The alternative thread is the fact that 5 years is a seventh of my life now.
