You and your car history.

[Ivan141]

Wow, those are some impressice histories.

I myself got my drivers license when I was 18, back in 2000. (in one try).
I didnt have much money back then, nor did I feel the need to own a car.
I just kept to driving around in my moms daihatsu cuore, which I still use very often due to the superior mileage.
A few years later in 2002 I was starting to save up some cash to buy myself a cool car eventually. Since my bro was into the whole honda thing back then (with his 130bhp civic) I kinda liked japanese cars as well. Back then looks where my main point of interest so I was planning to buy the early 90's honda prelude.
Then came my brother with the idea of buying one of 2 hachi's that where for sale for nice prices. I didnt know these cars back then, a lot of people didnt. I looked it up on the internet, and after nosing around on club4ag, I had decided to buy one.

I had to overhaul the brakes and some little problems before bringing it for it's first MOT, it took me about a month of driving back and forth to the formula student workplace next to which it was stored.
I had to pay around 900 euro to get most of the rust fixxed and all the more difficul stuff (wheelbearings, steering knuckles etc). Then finally in summer 2003 I had it on the road legally for it's first time in 4 years. Sadly the engine broke down after a few 200km runs moving stuff up to my house when I was working in Nijmegen.

Finally april this year I had a spare engine fitted, and have been upgrading the car ever since.
