Was going to keep an eye on this until I read the description......:banghead:

Your old Miami Blue Pug looked better :smt023

Got my first car in 1996 (@ 20) and it was a classic 900i. But the dream was a 900 T16S


Love that 968 especially Matt :smokin:

The closest I came was a 900s saloon in my early 20's, I loved that car even though I never looked after it :bigcry:

Cheers Jeff :thumbs: it was a particularly great example but as I later realised 240 bhp just wasn't enough for me U know what they say... "Power corrupts"
BTW my second car (first VERY sensible car) was a Classic shape SAAB 900i... but a TURBO 8V with epic Turbo lug :bigcry: and yes T16S was also a dream at the time but they were big bucks in the 90's thanks to a certain Trend at the time. Pic below of my Golden Swedish wonder :whistle:

Well I bet it was quicker than my 8v saloon. It had a "5 Speed" badge sitting proudly on the back too :hahaha:


I nearly went to look at a 2-door sedan 900 T16S a couple of years ago, but then this popped up for sale and knew it had to be bought. It would have been getting sold to its first owner when I started to learn to drive

Nice Matt. An insurance quote of £7k meant the Turbo stayed a dream for me back then

[pops]

1971, my second car, Cortina 1600E. Smart in its day.

:hahaha: You should have seen its brown leather interior :whistle: Willy Wonka would have been very proud
IIRC I think I paid about £1500 for my SAABs insurance after about 5 years of careful, claim & accident free years of driving, still living in London with only on street parking.
Your £7k quote sounds very much like a "F*** Y**" quote... in all honesty I'm surprised they didn't just hung up on you, like they did with me when age 18 I rung for an insurance quote on a 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang 289 V8 AUTO 2 door Coupe :clown: Eventually someone quoted me a "F.Y." figure of £13 k for 3rd party only insurance :119: oh how I laughed :bigcry:

[LeinsCSL]

^^^ The joys of insurance before the Internet :banghead: :hahaha:

[Trawler]

A few have mentioned bhp, but I remember drooling over 70 profile tyres. :hahaha: how times have changed. Pops will be along soon to reminisce over his 8 track sterio system. I think that's what it was called before cassettes took over.

[pops]

Ah, the 8 track :-)

Never actually had a car with one fitted. It was the heady days of cassette players that used to eat more tapes than they played.

When I passed my test, it was the Lancia Delta Integrale Evo 1 that I wanted and then the Evo 2 came out. Some years later at 24 years old I set off to the bank, took a decent chunk of my savings out and headed off to Italy.

Looking at the replies it looks like we have always had petrol in our veins since an early age. :thumbs:

Some fantastic cars you have owned

:smt055

But I still went for the Ur quattro. Looking back I think the Lancia would have been better. The Audi was a big car.

It was a big car, but I'm pretty sure it was cheaper to run than my Lancia was! :banghead:

Other than a wheel sensor for the ABS (which I was ripped off by the dealer) it was routine servicing. Plugs cost a fortune though. Sold it for good money after owning it for 8 years.

The car under steered and the standard brakes were rubbish, with a capital R.
