My first was a suzuki vitara that was great fun for the time i got it(summer) i swaped it for a nissan 200sx (240 bhp to the back wheels) so i was a little dissapointed with the performance at first. Then reality cicked in and i realised it wasn't a fast motor so i enjoyed it for what it was, great fun and nice with the roof off in the summer.
i sold the vit and purchased a 109 ex military petrol 3 door which had full camo paint and the rag top ,from day one of driving it i always had a smile on my face it was great too. i wanted the long wheel base because they had a lot more presence on the road than the 88.
it went through a lot of changes until i finaly sold it to a chap in ireland . I miss it very much as it had lots of character and was a great drive. it didn't forfill my requirements as a family man and the wife thought it was uncomfortable.
i now drive a g reg 110 csw that is a great looking motor and fills all the requirements for a family car and to tow our caravan in the summer, pluss carry all the prams and baby stuff we need,
the 109 was my fav because i got lot more waves and good reactions from it and it had a 1 off trim that the wife and i did
but the 110 has more potential for the family.

regards scott

Only had 1 & thats the Terrano i've had for the last 2.5 years :Dall my other motors have been modified hot hatches but I kept getting told I should get a family car :roll:& I was heading to collecting speeding tickets again :doh:I wanted some thing different so bought the Terrano. because of my back ground I had thought about 24" rim etc, but saw the light after joining here & a couple of other sites & took the plunge in my very shiny motor & took it off road under the watchfull eye of sptb :Pnever looked back since as it surprises me at what it can do every time it's off tarmac. I'm not the best off road driver but i'm getting better (I think/hope) On tarmac it handles very much link some of my hot hatches as you can chuck it about & you always know what it's doing. As the only motor we have it has been a fantastic family motor & very comfy to drive. Would I get another one? YES ;)

First 4x4 was this, straight six monster, it could catch pigeons but at 12mpg and insane parts prices was a dear motor to run and it suffered from tin worm....  Offroad it was ok just had to mind the ground clearance.



2nd is my 300TDi auto, she is the ultimate MPV, comfy, quick enough, fair economy and cheap to fix and goes pretty much anywhere offroad.  I wouldn't ever not want this on my driveway.



I owned this S3 V6 for a while but sold her and kinda regret it....  Made a nice noise and will be a good truck for the guy who has it now...



Now the Ninety is mainly used to get to work i bought this 2a V8 as a toy, she is ok on fuel, good enough on and off road but has been fairly unreliable, i hope i'm getting there with the not getting me home problems....  and She is sooooo LOUD!
