Fiat Panda - Dead easy to keep and run. Learned about as much as I could about fixing cars from this little guy. Had Parental consent.

Ovlov 480es - Loved it to bits. Great fun to drive and throw around. Was at it\'s best before I traded it in, gave it a wee kiss goodbye. Had Parental Consent

Ovlov S40 - Hated it. Had Parental Consent

FD - Love it to bits. Sometimes I am afraid of it, but this makes me love it all the more. I have more respect for this car than any I have ever owned or driven, and I have driven some nice machinery. Corvette, Lotus and such. Decided to surprise my Parents with this 1. They Love it.

I hope to 1 day have a black FD and Black MR2 II parked in my drive. I have a real soft spot for the MR2, but for some strange reason, insurance companies thought the FD was better;)  and so do I

i forgot one ..

it was a great car so i wanted to mention it..

opel manta berlinetta

this thing looked bad with flat silver paint and rust but the stage two (?) 2,2 big bore and dustbin lid valves was great fun putting the power down threw 185 tyres

it was the days before drifting events so the queen highway had to do:rollin

Current (in the past many boring company cars + Fireblades, TL1000s\' to stop me going crazy)

Lexus GS300 (Company car)

1971 Series 3 V12 E Type Jaguar

2000 RX7

Interesting thing about the E type and the RX7 is that, in theory, they make the same hp - both 265. One from a 5.3 litre V12, the other from a 1.3 Rotary.
Which one does the wife like (when she\'d not driving her Honda Jazz), the Lexus - must be grounds for divorce................. :confused:

[Miguel]

Hmmm... Long list. Will only mention the ones I owned for over 6 months!

Bikes: 1976 Yamaha DT175 @ 14 years old.
Honda 1982 XL250S @ 16 years old.
Honda 1990 650 Dominator @ 22 Years Old.
Honda 1990 VFR 750 F Pro-Arm (Still have it in my garage!)
Honda 2002 Fireblade 954 F2 (Have it here in Japan).

1st Car: BMW 2002 - which I converted to a Tii when restoring.
2nd: Fiat X1/9 1500cc
3rd: Renault 5 Gordini.
4th: Citroen 2CV
6th: Mercedes Benz W124 300D
6th: Radbourne racing Stage 2 R5 GT Turbo.
7th: 1985 Corolla GT AE86 RWD.
8th: 1980 VW Golf GTI Mk 1 1.8.
9th: 1997 Corolla AE86 facelift
10th: 1996 Mazda Eunos Roadster 1.8i
11th: Subaru Impreza 555 STI 3 Estate
12th: 1990 Mugen Tuned CRX SiR Coupe.
13th: MR2 Rev 3 GT Turbo 280 bhp.
14th: Skyline GT-R R33 V-Spec - 380 bhp.
15th: 1995 RX-7 Type R Bathurst - (Won\'t EVER sell this one).
16th: 2002 S2000 (Still got that one for daily use).

The Skyline was very quick indeed, but will never be as entertaining or rewarding to drive quickly, as a well sorted RX-7.

£ for £ (Or in my case, Yen!), there\'s nothing else more fun for the money. I\'d have a Type R NSX if I could afford it, or if I got silly, a Porsche GT-2 or an original 2.7 RSR, but I doubt that day will ever come....Besides, I enjoy the rex plenty.

I don\'t give a flying **** about economy figures on my RX-7. It is reliable though!

:wave

I forgot the Opel Ascona 2.0s too.....Yeah, a bit of a sideways car - that one. Primitive, although fairly quick(ish) too.

Another I forgot was the 1996 Transit 2.5 Di Camper Van which we painted at a party, after repair from being written off by an Uno which passed a traffic light on red and knocked a hole in the side of it... Became a real hippy "look" van as a result of that party....The Europeans liked it, although the Germans weren\'t very amused.

I sold it 3 years later to a very nice 50 year old couple who still own it, in Brighton.

My first car was a 1ltr Fiat uno-was fantastci to build my no claims bonus, plus it was solar powered iam sure i never put any petrol in the thing.

I had a Fiesta Zetec 1.2 which was a great little car.

Then i got my  3rd gen RX7... which nearly has double to Bhp of
my other cars put together

[mids]

Ford Fiesta - just about the only car I could afford to insure at the time and I soon learnt that if you turned into a corner at more than about 20mph in the wet, you went straight on :eek

Peugeot 205 XS - not a bad little car to whizz around in and handled surprisingly well

Honda CRX Vtec - always liked the look of them, mad engine which just screams at you to rev the nuts off it but low down torque was non existent which meant it was hard work to drive fast

Subaru Impreza - now we are talking ! Great car, owned it for four years and only sold it because I wanted to try some other cars (so many cars, such little time). Hadn\'t quite appreciated how good it was in the wet until I bought....

Ford Focus RS - Awesome handling, great brakes, pretty fast but as soon as it rained then the wheelspin just pissed me off. I got pretty fed up with that and realised that I could sell it for good money so I did although I didn\'t know what else to buy so I bought a sh*tbox to run around in whilst I thought about it

Ford Fiesta - naff little shopping trolle.

Mazda RX-7 - haven\'t got it yet but have placed a deposit with Miguel. Thought it was about time I bought a RWD car and when I went for a test drive I knew I had to have one

[Donato]

1st. 1960 850cc Mini, great car!
2nd. Fiat X19, engine with rust and some glass around it!
3rd. mg midget, death trap
4th. Lancia delta 1300, great car considering it cost me £80.
5th. Lancia delta hf turbo, awesome machine until the engine gave up!
6th. Golf GTI Greg, absoulutly minted condition, a complete dissapiontment to drive after the lancia
7th. Saab 900, another nice car until i put it in a farmers field.
8th and 9th. company land rover discovery\'s, killed the engine in one of them.
10th. My rx7 3rd gen, im hoping there won\'t be an 11th for a long time!

[hugepiece]

17 - 1986 Mini with 1300cc MG conversion + 1"3/4 carbs
17 - 1959 Ford Pop 100e (RS2000 running gear/engine/box)
18 - 1989 Escort RS (wrote it off after 2 months)
19 - 1986 Fiesta XR2
19 - 1989 Escort XR3i
19 - 1996 Rover 420i (company car)
20 - 1993 Renault 19 16v
21 - 1997 Ford Escort Si
22 - 1997 Alfa Romeo GTV 2.0
24 - 1989 Porsche 944 S2
25 - 1992 REX FD Type-R1

Plus various other bikes (CBR400, GSXR600, Ducati 748 and currently a 155bhp R1).  All I can say is that my FD would leave my old Porker for dead, and it was no slouch by any means.  Rotary and Twin Turbos are the the only way.................
