Default Whats the one car you most regret selling?

Out of all the ones you owned, whats the one you wish you still had?

Mine is the 330d sport! Best car by miles i have ever owned, done everything i wanted out of a car and more!! Just gutted had to sell it in order to save a few more quid and be practical any repairs it might have needed, least with honda its under warrenty. Will sell before out of warrenty then go to proper shitter

Urgh i cant wait till earning some decent money and on housing ladder to get one agian.




So whats your cars?

My 2wd Saph. Even though the new owner has discovered a few horrors on the shell, I still really miss this car 4 months after I sold it. I used to really look forward to the 30-mile run to work in the mornings, when I could drive it like an absolute 'unt.

My Fez RS Turbo



I wasn't ready to sell it, but someone asked me to and i thought it was a good idea until I watched it drive off up the road

Loved my S1 but would buy a nearer standard one next time

my 1.1 mk2 fiesta

Was great all them years ago, you could smash the fucker into a curb at 50mph, go home bend it straight, spend Ł30 on bits from the breakers and all was perfect again ready to be smashed into the next curb, ditch, signpost etc

never needed servicing, no perfomace enhancing filters needed, just remove the filter and dustbin lid and let the carb breath freely

My 200SX is the only car I miss badly. Spent loads of money on it and had to sell up when I moved out of my parents house. Didn't get a chance to use it like i'd planned.

My last car, E30 beemer

Sold it for pennies, then spent a couple of grand on my s2. if id spent that money on a 2.5ltr for the beemer, i would have had some proper fun.

Achwell, S2 is a laugh for now
