This was one of the most thrilling cars I have owned especially as I was only a 23 year old...



Still sends shivers down my spine

The 911 in the office car park with my GSX1100R - some 30 years ago but quite a pair!

23 and you had a 911 - you lucky, lucky b'stard!

I had a tiny Japanese van with a 2 cylinder motor and my motorcycle was a Yamaha YB100.

At 23 I was running an Escort RS2000...not quite a 911 but on a good day it could hold it's own very well ! Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

At 21 I had a SAAB turbo sat on my drive.

I couldn't stretch to the turbo model.

I won 20 quid in the office sweep stake when my 24 year mate old wrote one off within 3 months of buying it. I guessed he would crash it within 90 days. He only made it to 85 days. Think he still blames me for jinxing him. 2006 4.4 V8 Vogue SE

That's London financial careers in the 80's for you! I also had one of those brick mobile phones and a trendy house, thought I was I was pretty cool (at the time)

Is that you dressed as Brian Ferry in the motorcycle pic?

Yup

23 ? - Vauxhall Nova 1.3SR in Jamaica yellow . . . Oh yes !

 Where do you go after one of these . . . ?

I remember a mate who had a 1.4 SR nova...went horribly wrong and a tree won when he took a 1.4 Uno turbo on in a bit of mild street racing...his taste remained very boy racer onto a 2L Turbo cavalier...now runs an RS4 Avant ! Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........
