Mine was the VTEC one and as long as you wrung its neck it was fine. If you didn't take it right around to 7500 it was terrible and if you didn't try and drive it on the door handles it didn't handle properly either 
okey dokey..

Ok here goes
1st car was a £50 morris ital in blue looked a bit like this:
Then a 4 door nova saloon, eeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww but hey it was reliable and cheap, bit like this, got broken into 4 times and stolen once
Finally a bit of taste
A 1972 bay window VW bus that was pearlessant pink and white, haven't got a pics unfortunatley (pre-digi cameras!)
Then a gold mini with a 1.3 and a few minor tweeks
again no pics (I'm showing my age)
after that suffered numerous breakdowns it was the turn of captain sensible and I had my grandfathers rover 100 (no its a metro) AUTOMATIC....sweet that was red and had about 10k miles on it
Couldn't live with myself in that so it went after 5 months and i bought a rover216 coupe, lowered it and put 17's on it, it was a good car.......no REALLY it was
Then the fun bit........a 1993 golf VR6, god that was a fun car
used to fly on the motorway, but after crashing it twice and getting 6 points in 12 months I decided to let her go
then the golf bug really hit and I was feelin retro so i bought a mk1 GTI
Which I've still got today but has spent the last 3 years off the road after blew up the box
so i bought a ratter, well I say bought I think I paid £50 for it
The suspension was shot and it was like drivin a barge....fun though
so after that a golf mk2 16v
can't find any pics of that either
head gasket went on that so became a hairdresser
then had a little save, borrowed a few squid and bought the best car I've had so far:
as I bought her
and now:
that's my lot hope I didn't bore you

Considering i'm only 20 I have had quite a few....
1. Mini 25, which met its end when my sister took down a bumpy drive and smashed the sump off...
2. Austin Metro 1.1, (looked like this but in green and had white hubcaps)
3. Fiat Punto 1.2, this one died when I stupidly let a girl drive my car....
4. Austin Meastro 1.3, luckily I only had to drive it for two weeks!
5. My current/favourite car my Ibiza!
When I got it...

For god's sake dont let a girl drive this one!!!!!!!!!
They're nice to look at - but don't let them drive!
You seem to get ok women drivers - and then the ones that REALLY give girls a bad name. It appears you only know the latter. lol

Well the first and was my fave until the Cordy came along, a VW Polo 1.05C!! 65MPH in second made it the fastest and most reliable first car out mine and all my mates, really did love it:
Really wanted a MK4 Polo but discovered Ibiza's as the cheaper alternative and this car grew on me more every time i drove it, a fantastic little work horse that did 20k in one year! The day she left me:
After having an Ibiza and craving something with a GTi badge this little beauty made sense:
Unfortunately she met her demise one sad day at meadowhall when she got rear ended and written off, would probably still have it now if not
Next up i finally got my Mk 4 Polo needing something to get me back on the road after the GTi went, had huge fun with this car even though i only had it 5 months and in a strange way i miss it. Nothing special just a really good car:
sold it on to another SCN member who also went from a GTi to a MK4!
The Polo was great but i needed a beast once more.... something capable of giving me that tingling feeling down my back that lets me know i'm alive... I spotted her on Ebay and fell in love with the look, then a couple of SCN members got in on the act and told me to get off and get it, that same day i did!:
She's up for sale and getting a lot of interest, i'll miss this car the most i think but i'm needing something cheaper to insure, tax and fuel now i have a new job doing 40 miles a day starting in a week. If i could keep her i would but i just don't have the space.
My next main car is going to be something very special indeed, i've just got to track a white one down so i'm thinking i'll go back under MK2 or MK4 Polo power while i search
