 Ok I know this must have been done before but here is a pic of my first car.OK I bought a scanner today and I was dying to use it!! Anyway my first car- Passed my test in Dec '90 and my dad bought me this at Christmas.It cost £180 pounds and was and absolute shed and I loved it! It was a 1.1 L with a 1.3 gearbox and had had a big accident at some stage as it pulled like hell to the left and the back end was about an inch too short.It was also hand painted black(BIG brush marks) and had a front spoiler to hide the fact the valance had rotted away. I called it the XR 1 1/2!!! Well it sounded good at the time  . I kept it for about 10 months and sold it for £200 (RESULT!) I didnt stay around long after I had sold it as god knows how it got an MOT in the first place.But I will never forget it and I don't suppose my parents neighbours did in too much of a hurry either  .OH I forgot to mention the Pink tail pipe and the green insulation tape pin stripes What was I thinking???  |

Bonus points for the Street Machine 'AWESOME' sticker... I had one on the back of my 1.3 MK3 Cortina...!
|
| |
... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down  and that's not really the car's fault. |

Street Machine is in the veins of this place. The pink and green detailing on the XR1.5 says you were a reader more than the sticker does!

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

Read the thread carefully.... He said: "It was a 1.1 L with a 1.3 gearbox and had had a big accident at some stage as it pulled like hell to the left and the back end was about an inch too short.It was also hand painted black(BIG brush marks) and had a front spoiler to hide the fact the valance had rotted away. I called it the XR 1 1/2!!! Well it sounded good at the time" You could always look out for a genuine XR1/2. May take some time though! ;D |
