Hey there thought i would let you guys no a bit about me.
im 21, australia, lived here since i was 15.
I love cars, nothing beats driving, well maybe one thing :P

I currently drive a 1992 Honda Civic 1.5LSi non VTEC its a great car, once you get it up to 5000rpm there is a noise that only hondas make. its got all the bits i need, alpine cd player, pioneer speakers all round, no sub yet. 15" alloys, not going to change them, as i will sell the car next year. its my 2nd civic, my 1st i bought in march(1996 5dr hatch 1.4se), was a old ppls car, it took me two months and it was gone, miss the AC but not the jokes.

My car history:

• 1993 Peugeot 306 1.6XR owned from Feb 2004 to Sept 04
• 1996 Rover 420GSi owned from Sept 04 to Nov 04
• 1996 Ford Fiesta 1.3 Encore owned from Nov 04 to Sept 05
• 1990 BMW 316i lux auto (project car which got scrapped) owned from May 05 to Sept 05
• 1992 Ford Escort 1.4lx owned from Nov 05 to Sept 06
• 1993 Vauxhall Astra 1.4GLS (scrapped due to failing emisions) owned from Apr 06 to Jun 06
• 1994 Ford Escort 1.6 16v lx (scrapped due to conrod going throught the bottom of the engine) owned from Jun06 to Jul06
• 1996 Saab 900s non turbo owned from Sept06 to Nov 06
• 1997 Peugeot 306 1.6GLX (scrapped after accident which cost me my no claims) owned from Nov 06 to Mar 07
• 1996 Honda Civic 1.4se owned from Mar 07 to Jun 07

Now im on my current car, the astra and '94 escort where both bought for about £100 each, lucky they lasted as long as they did.

Out of all the cars, my best one has to have been the 1992 ford escort, yer its wasnt pretty, yer it was only £160, then needed a clutch a month later, but it just kept on going, even when the heater was hot when i got to work 13miles later. the poor thing just kept on going, have to take my hat of to it.

But now im onto better and bigger things, Im after my 1st VW(maybe audi, if i get my no claims back) well not quite yet, but sept 2008 i will have the money for one, not sure what i want, but all i no is its going to be a TDI red DI, i feel in love with one 3yrs ago and now want one, just depends what car it will be in ??
