DT36 Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 If we're going down the bike route, my Can Am Qualifier 250 when I was 15 and my Suzuki RM250 when I was 17. Lad on the Honda CR480 (my old bike) next to me now has a very nice orange MK2 with a N/A YB. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pack 2000 Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Oh I see now, so you guys were the suave chick magnets that got all the ladies back then? Because of you all I could do is throw all my money away on cars instead of booze and women as thats all there was left in life! Thanks heaps! 😀 How did you afford the cars as well then? 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pack 2000 Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Is it politically incorrect to have bonnet babes these days or just too old to lure them any more? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a wink may help! Go on give us all a larf! Edited November 16, 2020 by katana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vista Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 So this thread has been running for 9 years and I have just realised haven't ever posted my own pic in it. Age 19, 1989 with the first non banger I ever owned. A properly nice 1.6SR mk1 Astra I bought in 1988 when it was 5 years old. Loved that car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last of the decant Astra's. Mine finished it's 4 year life in my ownership with a 2.0 16v red top with twin 48 Weber's. Went well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He burnt down his garage welding and the car was in it, couldn't even find a trace of the alloys the next day, I was gutted too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
