So first car to present in order are,,,

1. 1983 Mk1 Astra 5dr estate. :) Me mum gave me this car. Sorry

2. 1984 Mk1 Astra 5dr hatch. :) 1st car I bought with my hard earned. Sorry

3. 1984 Mk2 Cavalier 5dr hatch. Astra failed MoT, cheap replacement, got written off by some girl pulling out in front of me. Sorry again

4. 1986 Mk2 Astra 5dr hatch. Needed a replacement fast, did the job. Oh dear

5. 1988 Mk2 Astra 3dr GTE. Loved this car, very quick,,,,for people to break into:(

6. 1986 Mk3 Honda Accord EXi, had everything, cruise, ac etc. Flat cap some where

7. 1991 Citroen BX TZD, Awesome barge.

6. Currently a P reg Fiat Coupe 20v n/a in yellow :slayer: and
