Evolution of your cars...?

Have I got the "bold" bit wrong?
Assumed it was for VAG cars?

Or is it for cars you still own?!

 

so far!

L reg 5dr 1.4 seat ibiza - no mods but plenty of rust in the doors.
G reg 5dr mk2 golf GTi 8v, lowered then 2E engine installed - never moved under its own power since.
H reg 5dr mk2 gti 16v - left hooker, lowered, some styling mods, head rebuild then - lots of maintenance done on it!

 

A reg red Nova 1.3 SR with stupidly hard Spax 'suspension'.

B reg black Opel Corsa 1.3 SR. Standard spec.

E reg black Fiat Uno Turbo with Mk2 alloys and Janspeed exhaust.

E reg black XR2. Mint condition, low miles and standard. Chuffing proper slow after the Uno!

H reg white Renault 19 16v. Probably my 'poshest' car! Low miles, 2 owners and immaculate. I put 16" Voodoos on, a full s/steel Mongoose exhaust and decat plus a chip and re-map. And after all that it wasn't any faster

D reg metallic grey Scirocco GTS. 1.8 carb. All original down to its Pirelli P slots and 'Scirocco' sticker in the back window under the spoiler.

A reg red Mk1 Astra GTE. Standard again apart from the reg plate A3 GTE i sourced at a good price.

B reg Series 1 Escort RS Turbo. Bought with 29k on the clock (now has 54k) Full Ford Service History, 2 mature owners, un-restored and valued in A1 condition. Standard and original save for Koni adjustables and s/steel exhaust. Been in dry storage for 4yrs now since moving to Cardiff. I refuse to sell this!

J reg red Mk2 1.8 Golf Driver. Bought for 795 then sold it my mechanic 12 months later for 800! A very nice car that, he still has it!

L reg red Celica GT4 WRC import. Only mod it had was a Blitz super sonic blow off valve i fitted. An utterly reliable car. Owned for 18 months and absolutely nothing went wrong with it despite me never tuning it or servicing it!

G reg Burgundy Pearl Metallic Corrado 1.8 16v. Only mod was a full s/steel Longlife exhaust i put on.

G reg black Mk2 GTI 1.8 8v with factory fitted BBS bodykit and wheels. Totally standard throughout (and staying that way) with 2 previous owners and in awesome condition. No rust or rot in the usual places either

 

Pug 205 trio! J reg, 1.0. loved it! even with the leaky sunroof! green seatbelts were ace!
Golf Mk3 M reg, 1.4. (the beginning of the love for mk3's!, no power steering though, onward & upward!)
Golf Mk3 GL. M reg 1.8 AUTO! was brill in the snow!!!
and so far now...
Golf Mk3 GTi Colour Concept in green! R reg, 2.0 8V. (I'm never selling this car!!! haha!)
