In order of regret,with first being most regretful:
1.series one turbo,c515spg
2.UNO turbo c535ade
3.Audi coupe 2.3,g325xme
4.astra sport estate n236***
5.transit van v923ghb

There's probbo a few more but these are the obvious ones to me.I managed to get the coupe back but i had a cavvy gsi at the time with big plans for it which was lovely to drive and stupidly I let the Audi go again,still miss how great it was now.

Oh just remembered,pajero 2.5 td cabriolet.fuck knows what was done to it in japan but it was jacked up to fuck,it smoked like mad but almost wheelied off the line!!I'd say it must have been about 300 lb/ft torque it was awesome,sounded like a racing truck,pretty sure it had a big blower on it too??sold it for a good price but hated doing it,guy caught me at the right time,prick.

It went round the houses a bit and was then sold to a guy who eventually drove it through his missus house in an argument and wrecked the shell.amazingly,it started back up and he reversed it out,tough truck that one.

Had a rs1800 when I was 18. Tatty to look at but had no rust what so ever, on coilovers and rose joints with cossy breaks allround. Loved it. Screamed all the way to 7500 with a bit of head work and some rod bolts

My Sierra hatchback, it was only a 2.0 Lx but it drove nice and surprised a few people.

Having said that when my current Sierra is finished it will be nice, well nice to me anyway.
