Some impressive numbers there, i've only had seven.

In Denmark we have the most ridiculous car registration tax system in the history of the world, a normal car cost 3 times as much as in GB or Germany.
180 % in car tax and then another 25 % in vat. So actually we pay 205 % more than you do for the same car you could buy in GB or Germany.

That means that it's not that easy to be a real carnut in Denmark and own some of your favorit dreamcars, thanks to our crap socialist government . But in spite of this, I've actually owned and stil own some really cool cars.

Pete man. WTF?

[Acidburn]

Pete man. WTF?

It was £125 quid with half a tank of fuel. I had it delivered down to bracknell by another forum member, I drove it back to swindon and it sold on ebay for £400 quickly and no hassle.

TFFT. Thought you'd bought cos you wanted one

TFFT?

I have been tempted before as its very easy to fit either a zetec, zetec turbo or cvh turbo into one. That with a set of escort cosworth alloys and a dark blue paint job looks fantastic on them.

Or I could do like a guy on passionford has done and fit a cosworth engine rwd setup.

That's just wrong. They are hideous and awful to drive (I had one as a courtesy car a few years ago, I wanted to kill it dead)
You can't polish a turd even one with a cosworth and RWD.

If you are ever bored, go into a maccy d's/burger king and get 4x plastic trays. Put two under each rear wheel and put the handbrake on, do this in a big car park and go drifting. Just make sure you give it proper rev's off the line as it is so gutless it struggles to pull the car along. I got lent a hire car once before at a cruise when I was younger so made good use of it.

Biggest issue with them is that like most fords they rust well.

[UrS4boy]

Ooo... this might do my head in as I have to remember back further than many of you have been alive.

1. 1955 Dodge in 1967 - F head inline 6. 115 hp, 3 on the tree. Held 15 people once.
2. 1968 Plymouth Fury 1 in 1972 after graduating with Civil Engineering degree - V8 auto - 4 dr sedan - looked like a cop ghost car
3. 1978 Celica coupe in spring of 78 - 4 cyl, 5 spd - first wife left me. Needed some fun.
4. Datsun 510 2 dr -1979 - rust bucket (tide me over before heading off to Uni again)
5. 1975 Datsun 210 (Sunny) 1979-82 - Electric cockroach school of design - girl friend's car while I went back to Uni for Ph.D. (79-82)
6. 1976 Capri - Sept 1982 to Spring 83- back from the Ph.D., wanted the V6 John Player special but ended up with 2.3L 4 cyl, 4 spd. Called it "Fritz" (because it was always on the ...)
7. 1980 Jetta 4dr - Spring 83 to June 86 - hot-rodded this little thing, engine, suspension, brakes, etc. Made it into a GLi before the factory came out with theirs. Great fun. Autocrossed/Slalomed this for several seasons - won FTD several times and C Class in 1985.
8. Datsun/Nissan 510 - another one - 1983-85 - Ice racing car - I aadded a 2L 200SX engine and "racing" pattern 5 spd. - car was bent - literally. Tendency to do loops while racing. Got so I could do turn a 180 into a 360 and carry on.
9. 1986 Jetta Carat - July 1986 to Feb. 2007 - 21 years. Picked this one up at the factory in Wolfsburg - had it in Europe for 12 months 86-87 - put on 48K km in Europe in that year - 11 countries, including West Berlin (before the wall came down) - back in Canada it eventually got a suspension kit, 2L 8V and then a 2L 16V. Last 5 years of its life it got an auto trans and my wife drove it (for 3 years - I drove it for the last 2). Died 2 months after I sold it. Sad.
10. 1985 Plymouth Caravelle V8 auto - 1987 to 1990 - this was an ex-City of Saskatoon cop car with the cop car engine and HD suspension. Bit of a beast. Finally finished it just in time to move to BC. Left it on consignment. (Sold for a big loss - Duh)
11. 1985 VW GTi - 1988-1990 - not sure why. Didn't want to autocross the Jetta or the cop car. (Yes, I had 3 cars for a few years). Sold it for okay money considering the fun I did have in it.
12. 1993 UrS4 - purchased in 1998 while the 1986 Jetta was in the shop after some A-hole rear-ended it on my way to work. (the Jetta became my wife's car after the autobox swap). Still have the UrS4 but its not the daily driver now.
13. 1998 C4 A6 V6 auto quattro avant - Jan 2007 to present - daily driver - the tank. Hauls goods and people with equal finesse. Bit of a leaky pig but I love 'er. I have all the goodies to make it look like an UrS6 - just as long as you don't open the bonnet.

[quattrostyle]

hmm need to make a list sometime, about 25 cars of which 2 were not Audi's in the 8 years of owning a drivers license.
