Renault 16.

Lasted a month ish. Used to keep the dip stick under the drivers seat! Fog light switch was a household light switch self-taped to the bulkhead. Just had the shock of my life by googling a pic of it. God it was worst than I remember. Took on a bike holiday because someone split their sump the night before. Because the weather was crap, ended up wallowing around Polzeth and Rock with 8 blokes (and Moose) in it.

Those were the days....

Ah layne just googled that and oh she's a stunner!!!

First car was a renault 5 gt turbo.
Didn't last long though. Nether did the 205 gti I bought to replace it, after 2 engines died that went.

Since then had german cars.

A Y reg Fiesta Finesse 950! Affectionately known as Nessie, made a whopping 93mph 4 up on the M5 on a downhill bit

Out of interest, can you still find out if a reg number still exists?
