Fiats in general had a Mk1 Punto for my first car and had one before my Focus.
VXR Astra in Red think it look beaut but wouldn't consider any other Astra.
Lexus IS200 Dunno if it counts but my dads got one and i quite like it lol.
Glanzas done up properly.

I quite like hating my mk1 mondy, it's had a pretty hard life and it's still doing its best !

I also for some really weird reason have started taking a fancy to the original shape Ka.

Mk3 Cavalier, fuck knows why, i just like 'em.

The old 6 Series beemer (E24), Sharky as i call 'em. A mate of mine down in plymouth has a 635csi and i absolutely love it. Big, lazy and bloody comfy too

Nissan Cherry Turbo.

My dad long term lent me his 1.3 GL Cherry when I past my test. C reg he bought from new when we were posted in Germany. had 180k when i sold it to go on the piss in Bournmouth. One hell of a reliable car! Never missed a beat.

Also the Citrene Yellow Mondeo with the RS body kit. I bought one and loved it. Everyone I knew hated the thing!

I know, i was watching a few vids on youtube of them last night after i posted that, i had a 1600 supermirafiori when i was about 15 that me and a mate bought between us and thrashed round his dads farm, he gave us 2 fields to do whatever we wanted with, it was awesome lol.

I was living in Okehampton in devon at the time and there was a lad with a white mirafiori sport and another lad with a mk1 RS2000, i remember them racing each other round the time all the time, both sideways most of the time lol.

Would love an orange one one day

Always liked them. Not something that people really have in their shopping list either when looking at that sort of a budget but I would love one

The Mrs has a Proton 1.4. Ive no idea why but i fancy buying a Proton Lotus GTI to go with it they look the same as a 1.4 but with 148bhp owning the two would be cool, she could then decide slow or faster ride to work. Been looking on Autotrader.

Have to agree the 1700 puma is an awesome out of the box play thing of a car.
Awesome fun.

My Hillman Imp is my guilty pleasure though. Its some 14years older then me, but I still love the shit heap of a thing.
