My first saf Cossie, technically was the worst one out of all them but I see it as the best one, mainly because most of the best memories in the last 5 yrs regarding cars have all been to do with that Magenta one, here it is, took a hammering every single day yet always stayed clean....

My UK Spec DC2 Intergra Type-R. I didnt spend a massive amount on it, simply because i didnt need to spend on it. Bought my Saph and wanted the cash to put back in the bank. I wished i had kept it as an everyday car because it was a superb car to drive, and never missed a beat.

Gotta be my 2nd Saff, had so many good times in it. Even after i smashed it up BIG TIME
(wasnt really my fault) it was back on the road a week later.
Other than a snapped cam it was always on the road even through winter most years.Miss it every day.
Think its dead now

Wye Valley Hardcore
My old Fiesta 1.8 Diesel.
Took it off the road for a respray, had a carbon fibre roof for it and a 2.0 Stage 3 NA Zetec on TBs to go in it then realised how rusty it was. It was either spend alot of time welding or buy my Series 2 which came up for sale
Series 2 was too good to turn down.

Professional Waffler
My old XR2i, Tuned the CVH to about 130bhp and it went lovely and sounded great. Took an absolute beating day after day and never once missed a beat. Then some gommo twat in a BMW slammed into the back of it as he wasn't paying attention

Love the last pic, shame the ex is in it

Would be my S2 E35 BHK. I miss the 3 door but believe it or not miss the S2 more because I was happy to drive it harder - if I fucked it was only Ł3k against Ł10 for the 3 door

i miss them all in a slight way but in the long run, bollocks to them, onwards & upwards 
although it is nice to see your old cars looked after.
if there was 1 car i still held a candle for then it would be my black 4x4 saff, 1 owner, very clean, leather, aircon etc, i tuned it a bit, fitted coilovers & 17" Rondells, just what i always wanted from a saff, owned it for 2.5 years with no problems,, sold it to a friend, its been through a few owners since then, i have moved 70 miles away since & the car has recently been bought by someone a few miles away!!! it must be hunting me out

rosso red mk2 xr2 , f870 gag , was more like a part of the family than a car- was gutted when that went.
but id love to have our mk2 focus back, hated it at the time but it was so much more comfy as a day-to-day car around the doors than a fucking subaru.

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
My old 1.6i Orion Ghia. H425WVO. Radiant red. My cousin had one silly low on saph rims and massive install. I loved it and found one that was as tidy as i could find, spent every weekend fixing something on it, was almost sorted mechanically and was going to be a rolling resto and i sold it to my mate(and bought a rover 620 not even a Ti), he put 17's on it a full ashley and rst recaros. I asked for first refusal but he scrapped it!
