Escort XR3i wasn't an RS but was made to look like an RS1600i tuned by abbot racing cams etc
Escort Turbo S1 - sadly missed tuned by torque developments also superchipped
Renault 5 Turbo - superchipped blew intercooler
Scimitar SS1 - don't ask me why part part exchanged it with the Renault 5 got bored was brought by someone who wanted to stick a 2.1 cvh engine block in it for track days.

i`m sure i`ve forgoten a few and have not included company cars
 
Currently my Puma is my only vehicle as I can only really afford to run one car, but I thought I'd share the previous machines I've owned or driven (Citroen AX, 2 Peugeot 205 Gti soft tops - the red one I sold in November, our family's old Bedford lorry which was sold a few years ago and a 1949 MG TF I was lucky enough to look after for a few days last year!)
I grew up around classic car/truck shows and steam engine rallies, which is possibly a little different to many members but might be of interest - I hope to eventually run an old truck and something like a Triumph Stag convertible alongside my daily drive.

PS I hope there is no porn with my photos this time!!

Ok, I'll give this a go :grin:

I'm not going to post photo's of every car I've owned (just some of the more interesting ones) partly as I don't have photo's of all of them and partly to save the bandwidth!!!

Roughly in order of ownership but it's difficult to be exact as I've usually got two or three at a time so they tend to overlap but here goes....

since passing my test in 1984 I have owned.....

Shortest on the forum for sure is me...Ford Fiesta Mk3 "sunray" (complete with pimpin spotlights and spoiler, Ford Escort Mk 5 1.3 "the ferry" and Ford Puma, which I've now had 5.5 years :D

I just get attached to things (except the Escort, had that less than a year, it was terrible) :roll:
