A fully restored white XR4i, not the one in my sig.

The new owner rolled it within a few weeks of owning it

I really wish I hadn't sold my Mercury Grey Fiesta RST H192EFD.

It was more or less just a standard car so nothing earth shattering but it was I really good nick with no rust at all on it anywhere!

When I sold it the guy came back to have a look at and tried to tell me that it it was a write off and it had been lifted up via a chain through the windows! Numpty!! He then kept saying he wanted a black one really. 'Fuck off and buy a black one then!!' was my reply! He still bought it though.

it was for sale again recently and was tempted to buy it back bit IMO didn't look as good as when I owned it.

Really kick myself when I look at my photos!!

Regret selling my Fiesta RS Turbo. Was an awesome little car. My ex nagged me into selling up and I did because I'm a mug. Thought I was doing th eright thing for us. Should have kept the car and kicked the bitch out instead.

My mercedes c230 kompressor. Not majorly fast as the thing weighed about 1800kg, but soooo comfortable to drive. Like sitting in a Lay-z-boy armhair!!! Looked the part in all

And I definatly regret writing off my white saphy cossie F883 FLG! Stood me in at 9000 by the time i stoved it into someones front garden. Still paying for it now in one way or another. Saying that it caused me nothing but grief, blew it up the day i got it doing an indicated 160mph on the m20. I was only 19!! the perils of youth a?

As mentioned elsewhere, I sold my XR4i and it was the most stupid thing I have ever done (car wise). I am now trying to find out if it still lives as I would dearly like to try and get it back.









If you know the whereabouts of this car or how I can find out about it please let me know.

My first S2 in white. F688 YRU. Bought from a Ford Dealer on Portland, Dorset. Totally standard bar a mongoose exhaust and absolutely immaculate. Gutted when I sold it. No pictures as this was back in the film photography days

My MK2 Golf GTi, G62 OGK. Sold it to fund a house purchase. I cried when it was sold to a bloke in Slough. I heard he crashed it too, the stupid twat.
