Re: My first car.
Had SJs since i was 14, progressively collecting more as space allows. The more space you have the more you fill.
Got 3 to keep me busy for now.
1st car was the volvo 480, 2nd import Toyota Surf SSR-G (recaro interior model), 3rd Volvo 850 T5R (mental), 4th 58' Plate Suzuki GV (pretty much a modern fatboy), and currently have a Seat Exeo 2.0TDi Sport as the sensible car.
If i had the money, space and time i'd go buy that back tomorrow (all body work is now show condition and BHP is almost DOUBLE!)

Re: My first car.
Nah, the 480 was the wedge one with pop up lights, 1.7 injection with a powerflow s/s exhaust.
Thats one is a 2.3 turbo 5 cylinder.

Re: My first car.

Re: My first car.
Full 4-2-1 s/s manifold and full stainless exhaust when i had it. Limiter removed, speedo just stopped at 160mph.
AP four pot calipers, and vented discs upfront. Kevlar pads and some funky discs at £300 a piece. Went like shit off a stick.
