Nice memories... While reading this thread I started to think about my previous vehicles. So, here is my story with few pics. I couldn't find pictures of all my previous cars.
- First car I ever had was
1982 FORD ESCORT 1.6 GL 5dr. I bought it in my 18th birthday 1996. I drove with it about two years.
- My second car was
1984 FIAT UNO 70 SL 5dr. This was my car while I was in army for ten months.
- Third car was
1982 FIAT RITMO ABARTH 125 TC. This car is nowadays owned by my uncle and you can see it in beside of my 131 Racing in my project story in Project Corner. Here she is in 1999 in Ahvenisto Race Track:
- Unfortunately I crashed my 125 TC and I had no money to repair it. I was forced to sell it to my uncle and buy my fourth car,
1987 FIAT UNO 60 S 3dr- While driving with 60 bhp Uno I was forced to buy a faster car. I managed to buy a
1984 SAAB 900 T16 AERO. This is one of the funniest cars I've ever owned. With the replaced APC unit and modified turbocharger it had almost 300 bhp with a HUGE turbo kick. I just loved this car and I have to admit that I have managed to find out the current owner and I am interested in buying this car back to myself. Here she is:
- In 2001 I got my current job and I was forced to travel quite a lot. As you might know, Saab is not the most cost-effective cars and I sold it. I bought a brand new
2001 FORD FOCUS 1.6 LIMITED 3dr.
- The Focus was full of "childhood diseases" and I made one of the most stupid decisions I ever made: In 2002 I bought a brand new
2002 FORD MONDEO 1.8 AMBIENTE 4dr. This car was more at the local Ford repair shop than on the road. This is the car I just want to forget...
- In 2003 I bought a brand new
2003 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT 1.6 SPORTLINE. This was one of the most reliable cars I've ever owned.
- For some reason Skoda Octavia II pleased my eyes and I decided to buy one. It was a great car.
2005 SKODA OCTAVIA 1.6 FSI ELEGANCE.
- After seeing some pictures of Skoda Octavia RS I was gone... Never seen the car in live, never test drove it. I just wanted to have one and I ordered it as a first RS II customer in Finland. My car was one of the first
2006 SKODA OCTAVIA 2.0 TFSI RS's ever made. I equipped it with MTM chip and it delivered 272 bhp.
- Then I made the GREATEST mistake ever with cars. Because all careerist's and climbers were driving with a SUV I needed to have one. In 2007 I bought
2007 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER 2.0 DID INTENSE+. It just didn't work. In 47000 km's I managed to destroy the gear box. All the electronics were f***ed up. Radio, OBC, AC.
- 2008 I went back to Skoda dealer and ordered another RS. This time it was
2008 SKODA OCTAVIA COMBI 2.0 TDI DPF RS. Again it was equipped with a custom made MTM chip and some improvements in turbo charger and DPF. It had 242 bhp with 510 Nm torque.
- Last spring I made one of my dreams come true. I bought
2006 BMW (E61) 530 DA M-SPORT TOURING. This because all careerist's and climbers are driving nowadays with a SUV or BMW
.
- My first pure "hobby car" was
1982 FIAT 127 903. Sold it about a year ago.
