- 1992 J-Plate Series 2 RS Turbo, regretted it after my friend started to use it and I saw it out and about. I will always look back through rose tinted glasses at that car.
- 2007 Impreza STi Spec G, regretted it as soon as it started to move off my driveway.. almost cried when I heard the fucker being opened up over the Tay Bridge. Was only comforted by the thought of a deal I had pretty much agreed to do for a car I'd wanted for a couple of years, then things sort of imploded for me personally and I couldn't follow through on the deal I had agreed.. so was left with a MK6 Escort as my only car. <- Real Tears.
Cheers,
Grant

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
My old frst only had 42000 on the clock. Thought I'd sell it and put the money to a cossie. Never happened, spent the money on the new house

think mine has to be C90 GOV my old S1, was a little tatty round the edges, but for some reason of all my cars, this car felt like it was part of me.
It recently turned back up and have been chatting to the new owner, he his having it restored so can't wait to see it looking all pretty again.
