coldel Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I do miss my VX220, stunning car but really was a third car for warm weekends so wasnt getting the use it deserved Actually miss the white Ford Orion 1.6i Ghia I got in my early twenties - I grew up in Dagenham so whilst everyone went the Fiesta Escort route I decided for something a bit different - leccy windows, a blower that worked and an electric aerial! It had all the mod cons. And a fuel injected 1.6 litre engine, at the time felt like a missile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Have fond memories of the Red Renault 5 GT Turbo that I owned and spent fortunes on in 1988. Went like stink. Only regret was not taking enough photos of it. Thought I had grown out of mods until I picked up my 350z in 2012 and had a mid life crisis with modding cars all over again...

Tricky-Ricky Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 This one...no contest! Nice and it still has my old spoiler by the looks Unfortunately that pic is a few years old, although it still has the kit, and the spoiler, i loved that! looked really good from some angles, but not to some peoples taste i guess, some cars suit BGWs some don't. I managed to get an email from the new German owner via one of the German guys on the Supra club, and it sounds like he is really going to town on it IE drag spec etc but i have heard nothing for a while now, but at least its still in one piece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzzz Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 My 1988 911 in Guards red with beige leather interior....perfect condition and low miles. Never cost me a penny except for servicing and didn't depreciate as it was 10 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianphampton Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I miss my 1973 Saab 96, great car, only sold it when we enlarged the family from 2 kids to 3 . . . . V4 1500cc so not really that quick, but good to drive (column gear change and free wheel (hangover from the old 2 stroke Saabs)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JurassicZ Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) I have a few cars I really regret selling. First would be my Alfa Giulietta Spider Veloce, which was a nut and bolt rebuild Second would be my 7 And third suprisingly would be my R32 Golf. Sold this for an M3 Vert SMG. Never shouild have parted with it, great workhorse, lovely engine and what a soundtrack Oh okay fifth would be a mint 911 Carrera Targa I brought from Dubai and sold stupidly to buy one of the first Audo TTs Edited August 28, 2014 by 350ZRDev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Without doubt, from when I was in my 20's, single and no kids compared to now being married, two kids and been on a car lock down for five years!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrzed Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 mmmmmmmm! Corrolla, I had one of them, slow but oh so comfortable, you could drive for 12 hours and get out the other end without feeling tired, only drawback was it took 12 hours to get any where but it went round the clock twice and I only ever put brake pads and half an exhaust on it ..........Japanese engineering you can't beat it with a big stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
