Tough choice!!
I REALLY miss the ability of my Tommi

I loved driving my 3dr about, i lost count of the amount of people who used to ask questions at the petrol station etc....it was a real head turner and drove beautifully!!


BUT...i think the one car i actually regret selling is my saph, only bacause of its untimely demise!!!! it was a beauty and i really really regret letting it go!
(although it's funny how the Pf bitches decided it was a nail as soon as it changed hands a few times )

I dont regret selling it (well, part-ex'ing actually) as I got a better car in my Mondeo ST TDCi, but I miss my Focus Collection. Espically as I saw it around a few weeks ago. I sold it without the BSA alloys, put the nasyy 15"s back on. Was modified a bit. Fully colour-coded, lowered on eibach springs, 17"s, ST170 half leather, Seat Leon Cupra R splitter, boot build (done by previous owner) & ST170 airbox / snorkel with a K&N panel filter. Was a little rusty on the rear where the bumper met the arch. Think that was due to having the bass up to much over the years and moving the bumper, so the paint flaked off and rusted.







Now im after a Focus ST3 3dr in Sea grey but also want a Escort RS Turbo. S1 or S2, I dont mind but it must be mint and 100% standard. I know nothing about them. Kinda scared as I dont want to get a dog.

without a doubt it's my M3.

I think that it was quite literally the best match for me, could not have owned a better car for the last few years. it just suited me so well and i loved it

I've generally never regretted selling a car as it was a gateway into something better - But I was gutted when I had to sell my Golf. Uttery relible and loads of fun. I had to sell it as I had to repay the wife for smashing her car up, plus I lost my licence for a year so it had to go.

My VR6 was the best car I had, I sold it for my RST but I wished I had of kept it. It had a Scotts Mototune contersion (3.2), full Oettinger kit, Cream retrim etc. It was just a nice car to live with. Not majorly fast, but it looked and sounded lush.

Just stage 1 m8.Had custom map by AVA,custom throttle body(believed to be Audi Quattro,S4,RS4),T28 hybrid mounted upside down,custom twin air intake with twin filters and also acted as strut brace,paddle clutch and that was it pretty much

Had ALOT of fun with that car.Surprised alot of big cars but was sooo hopeless in corners,even with coilovers,uprated bushes the lot and the wet was just stupid,even not using accelerator and just using clutch i had it spinning wheels a few times but think that was more on off type qualities of paddle clutch and on incline.The noise was the best bit,sounded the nuts under load

My Mk 2 XR2....without a doubt the most fun car I've ever owned. Mercury grey, D759 EYX. Handled like a go-kart and sooo much fun.

Not as quick as my Escort, but nicer to drive if I'm honest !
