Your Past Cars

Ummmm...

1999 VW Polo - Slow as anything, but kinda fun.

Not bad for 1yr and 3months driving :) new one this summer though. I wonder if it will be a Toyota????

1986 VW jetta 2.0 TSR

1989 VW Golf Syncro 4x4 66k 1.9 TSR crap fuel economy rotten chassis, sold it to TSR for one of their projects

←

What is TSR? The only mk2 Jetta's I know of had the same engine range available to the mk2 Golf, even the syncro and GTI 16v, not heard of a Jetta Rallye or G60 mind you, but doesnt mean they dont exist.... Is TSR an engine company who did a conversion for you?

Golf Syncro - very cool cars indeed, not alot of them left now! Out of interest, what on the chassis rotted? Not heard of a mk2 Golf chassis needing alot of welding before, only if its been badly repaired from an accident etc.

TSR are a VW tuning company up the M5 from me they specialise in engine upgrades and modifying veedubs and more recently seats audis etc. there are a lot of cars out there with TSR engines especially around here. the jetta had one, i can only assume cos it had done 230k the engine was put in years before i bought it. the jetta was a dog it leaked like a seive and drank fuel at an unbeleivable rate. the rot on the syncro was more or less from the handbrake down the length of the prop shaft +viscous coupling and extended to the sill on the passenger side. i bought it from a farmer who's arthritus was to bad to drive it it had sat in a field for best part of 2yrs had 66k FVWSH and 12months mot for £650 then bought a secondhand 1.9 TSR engine for £450. twelve months later when i realised it was uneconomical to mot TSR bought it for £600 cos the 3dr syncro shells are worth £400 whatever the condition.

[KidKoala]

Shame :( syncros rule! not many about now :/

1st Car - 1996 1.1 Fiesta Classic, cheap to insure but had to have a new engine 2 weeks after getting it, developed numerous rattles and squeaks and spent more time off the road getting fixed...also wouldnt start in a multi storey and left me stranded alone til Mr RAC came and got me :( Pic: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/blue_r_best/ro.jpg

2nd Car - 2004 1.0 Yaris..love it, but is going within the next week..

3rd Car - 2005 1.3 Yaris Blue :D

[Puls]

1989 Mazda 323 I had was found recently...abandoned in a grocery store parking lot. I still have a key...I wonder if I could go get it :D I sold that car for $30USD, so you can imagine the condition :arrgg-matey:

[Desmond22]

1954 Ford Popular - black situpandbeg sidevalve. Cart springs. OK unless you hit a camber on the road.

1960 Ford Popular - sidevalve, engine blew, steering snapped, vacuum wipers, but apart from that a decent car!

1962 Woseley 1500 - wonderful motor. Comfortable and fast (0-60 in 24 secs!) Fell apart.

1964 Viva 1200 box shape. Comfort and rust combined.

1972 Mini 1000 - my first new car. Great until I put a tiny steering wheel in without the biceps to turn it.

1973 Imp and

1974 Imp - had 2 in quick succession as my father fancied one as well. Good engine once it warmed up. Better handling than the mini but less roadholding.

1974 Viva 1800 2 door - quick and thirsty. Huge doors and massive wind noise.

1976 Honda Civic and

1977 Honda Civic - for same reason as the Imp. Tremendous engines, pity the bodywork didn't match them. Metallic paint didn't work too well then.

1978 Morris Marina (really!) - bought it new as well. Leaked like a sieve. Dealer bought it back.

1978 Austin Maxi - heavy as lead but great early people carrier and good on motorways.

1979 Alfasud - performance and yet more rust. The driver's door would leave a 2 inch gap at 70 but strangely no draught or wind noise.

1978 Viva Estate 1300 - horrible yellow, good looking coupe type styling and versatile but sooo sloow.

1980 Renault 14 - fast but unreliable. Rust, rust and more rust. Gearbox went.

Then I went to Toyotas. :)
