LOL good to see some dodgy '90s 'icons' (like the tomcat & maestro!) in there!

I wanted an Escort Cosworth back then, had the money to buy one in the last few years, but I'm not too sure now

Always wanted a saph cossie from childhood or 3 door cossie but finally got my cossie aged 24/25 and had it 2 years before the dreaded mortgage and kid and i will return with a saph cossie again in the future i hope ................ saying that owning the cossie felt like having a mortgage sometimes

they are ok if you dont mind going sideways,i'm sure they had a toe set-up on the rear to promote oversteer or so i was told.

Astra GTE 16valve. Never got one, got GTT's instead which are miles better.

Then wanted a 3dr Cossie and got one. Best car I ever had and shouldnt have sold it.

Then wanted a R32GTR. And regretted it, awesome cars, just wasnt me.

Then wanted a Chaser (well I wanted one before even the GTR) and got one now and totally love it.

not really 10 years ago....more like 18, i went to the motorshow and fell in love with the Astra GTE 16v (i was only 10) but have never owned one.

been into fords for about 8 years, always had hot hatches, R19 16v, Rover Gti, but in 1999 a housemate of mine at uni took me out in his ERST and i've been hooked ever since!!

alfa SZ - never had one and don't want oen any more -they're probably all a pile of orange dust by now anyway..
