Mr Brannen

Just looking through my Photo bucket thing and seen a picture of my first ever Cossie when I was 19, I sold it cause the head was on its last skim and the gearbox was whining,knowing what I know now about them and there being PF`s parts room on here I wish I kept this Sierra Cossie,loved the way it sat and the finish on the paint.




Anyone else done this with a car?

Yeah i had a Renault 5 GT Turbo - first ever performance car bought it when i was 18 & sold it 2 years ago as a rolling shell minus the engine

In its prime the car made over 250bhp but kept eating gearboxes & clutches when on its limit & that was the main reason i got rid as i got fed up replacing them - sometimes i wish i hadnt sold it & just kept it garaged as really good condition bodywork 5's are hard to comeby nowadays

Sadly i lost all my digital photos from when it was completed so all i have now is a few old scanned pics before the engine conversion & on its shitty 5 spoke alloys - thats even more gutting tbh

Rodge.

RS1600i, bought it in 1992 - great car. Wish I still had it!

Not a good pic though (scanned). No camera phones in those days!

i'm sure i saw that very car, or something very similar as it might have been black, round my neck of the woods this afternoon

yellowsierra

My old Cortina Savage
Was mint and i converted it to rover V8 5 spd and 2.8 locker axle and even went as far as getting a Rovercraft 4.2 conversion. Got it all in and running then lost interest at the paint stage and sold it off
Would be worth a fortune now

I regreat selling two cars. my 205 as i needed the money to buy my 1st home and my 1st cossie. was stupid clean but was standard power so was soooo slow (should of had the power upped)

Escy

My Mk1 Escort 1300GT. Had it at 17, kept it a couple of years but got fed up of constant breakdowns. Reliable it was not.

I miss it now though, won't be able to afford another for a while yet.

Mr Brannen

Sure I sold it to a guy from Cumbria ,I think thats where he said it was

here's my old car, fookin loved it, spent every weekend cleaning and polishing it. Got fooked off cos the central locking kept playing up, so I sold it! What a cock!












And the fact i could get it around the country with using no petrol at all most of the time was a bonus too!!

if im honest ALL OF THEM.


biggest regret is my S1, should have spent another £500 on engine and kept it



also my 1949 beetle- shoulda put a scoobie lump in it instead of restoring it stock



my mk1,

shoula put a V8 in like this


And also im going to regret this one, its up at the mo, i simply cant justifiy keeping it


but heyho, on to new things (not always better or faster) tho i have big plans for next one 500bhp v8, oh yeh!

guys, heres the one i wish i still had








its a CADDY SPORT, only 100 made, basicly a golf gti in a pickup form.

it was 100% original, apart from the wheels and suspension....the body kit etc etc stripes are all standard trim!

god i miss her, but she had to go, as i couldnt use it, as it was too clean! i couldnt put anything in the back as it would scratch it

indycos

iTrader: (2)

taxed until: 01 11 2008

so its taxed, but not insured? or just not on the insurance database. likely to still be alive!

Only 2 i miss, my first cossie which i had for 4 years untill the engine blew and couldn`t afford to fix it





And my first M3, which after a while i couldn`t afford to run, so got rid. Bad move.

Daviet

jtech i didnt know there was only 100 of them made
theres 2 round about here one looks standard just low on black rims in white also and theres another with a vr6 turbo engine in it and mint aswell in a pale blue colour.both look cool as

JTECH James

iTrader: (13)

apparently 100 made yes,

most you see arnt genuine sports, as mine stated on the log book caddy sport....


i met most of the others in the uk at shows, i was a member on the caddy forum.
mine was the cleanest of the lot....i found her under a tarp in someones back garden....pressure washed the algae off, and thats what was underneath...chucked some coil overs on it, and that was all i did to it!

anyone know if my first saff... G268FNO is still alive.....flint grey, was tidy when i had her

Escy

Thanks, I loved it too. To be fair, it was a bit rough around the edges but it was a daily driver. Was a 1300cc but I was running it on twin 40's. I sold it for £2600 in 2004. I don't know what it's worth now but the prices haven't stopped rising since then.
