Next up is my(or rather used to be) gorgeous Lotus Elise 111R, this was an epic little car to drive, but unfortunately for me, just not in the wet, here are the before pics:

Really not proud of this crash, i loved that car soooooo much, was a little present to myself for my 22nd Bday and cost a bomb, then a year later(day before my 23rd Bday) ended up like how it did. Was a shame too, was the ULTIMATE chick magnet ;):D

Next up, My Astra VXR Nurburgring Ltd Edition:

VXR is now sold tho, got rid of this in June to make way for a VW Tiguan :o

Have owned a few other cars aswell as these, but dont have any pics. Also owned a heavily modified Evo8 FQ300, this suffered a similar sort of fate to the Lotus, however this was due to an old man piling into me at 70mph and making me land in some trees :blink: Still trying to find the pics of the Evo pre and post smash.

So come on guys and gals, lets see pics of your past and current cars, always interesting to see what bikers other rides are.

Lol people were asking that, they also couldnt believe i was the driver and escaped with nothing broken or cut lol.

Hi mate,

couldnt tell you its performance figures as it never gets used, got a fresh rebuild in August and has covered half a mile since. Hasnt saw a track either as it decided to melt 5 pistons within 200 miles of being imported :rolleyes:

Im more of an American muscle guy to be honest would love an old Dodge Charger or Challenger.

My dad used to have one pretty similar to this mach 1 Mustang 1971 but white and black. Used to drag race it at Santa Pod pretty heavy modified would get under 10secs AND drive it home again!

My CCM which i just quickly turned the screen black in a sketchy photoshop pic. I like it ;)

How the fk can u have afforded to buy all them flashy cars at 22 year old" You cana have saved that sort of money in that short time,

Lottery or daddys cash ? if u had to work hard for them cars, u would look after them , and not trash them.

Its called working offshore ;) And i am a finance junkie :lol: lol. And the Lotus wasnt trashed, it was in an accident, if you look at the pics before the crash, a think you'll see it was kept it mint condition :P

I loooooooooooooove V8's, Brittish or American. Would love to buy a new ZR1 Corvette, but its way over my budget :(

My mate had a V8 Rangie, he loved it, good cars, he traded it in for a new Supercharged Sport version last year.
