At the time i had just got 9 points on my licence.....and i just couldnt help myself when in the car....

Also i found myself getting it out the garge, cleaning it, then pushing it back in the garage....scared to get it dirty.......i think i turned into a closet bufty

But the cruncher was that i wanted to do track days......but wouldnt use the 3dr......

Didnt have room for a track car and the 3dr so i thought i would let the 3dr go to someone who would get more use out of it......

WHAT A TWAT I WAS.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As it drove down the road bound for Belfast i genuinly cried..........i was gutted and i knew 100% i had made the wrong decision.......

It came up for sale about a year or so ago, but as i was in the middle of getting divorced it was a big No No ......... I was trying to get rid of my money, not make it tracable

The person who has it now...COS47..... knows that i want first dibs on it when it is time for my baby to come back home

of all the cars Ive had, the one I miss is my xe converted corsa. It wasnt the fastest thing around, or the tidiest handling, but as a compromise car that was easy to live with every day, monstrous in traffic or up b roads, and light on fuel and tyres it was unbeatable!

no mate.they went ages ago.sorry bud.


TIFF.You really shouldnt have sold that 3dr.it was lovely.it was one of them cars that just "had something about it" even though it looked larger standard.
it will return no doubt.


as far as the car i miss goes,ive had some cracking cars but its my cheapest that i miss the most.the pug 205 mi-16.mainly because i wish i had it still so i could go on track.as i wont go out in the cossie
plus it was a mental little car,so raucous and loud but didnt look anything at all.suprised many an unsuspecting car.

i would still love an ae86 too.i know they seem shit to everyone but they have that "something" i really like.character
