I was talking with a lad at work today about the cars he used to smoke around in when he was younger, I'm only 24 so missed out on that era, but it got me thinking about things you just don't see around any more.
Think along the lines of 21 Turbos, 205/309 GTI's, 300ZX etc etc.
What else can you think of? I'd love a 21 Turbo to be honest, although not ideal as a daily smoker!
Renault 19 in gti style, good clios, 944 and 968, Toyota supra...the 205 is a given (I have 2)
24, the world is your lobster...risk everything and enjoy the ride, it will pay off and if it doesn't who cares.....I was thinking today that if I had risked everything at 23 I would have my feet up now.
Renault 5 GT Turbos, Nova,Astra,Cavalier SRIs and GTEs and GSIs. Citroen AX GT,Metro Turbo to name but a few, there were loads and i havent mentioned the Fords.

i had an MA61 2.8 supra, I also had the 2.0 RA61 that I spent many thousands on having it cosworth converted.
just waiting for some miiserable old git to chip in and say all modern stuff is shit and his Austin 7 was the dogs especially now hes retired and hs lots of money
oh no he wont cos he thrown the toys out the pram.....
Renault 21 turbos were cool cars, had a drive in one back in the day, will never forget that. Cavalier 4x4 turbo, charade gtti 3 cylinder turbo were a couple more good ones!

I've got an old Austin haha, vanden plas limousine 1960 but nah 80's-90's stuff is unbeatable
I was in my v8 capri from early 80s to mid 90s, when it was garaged went into a transit mk2 short wheel base with a 3litre essex v6 in it prob had more fun in that van larking around being a boy racer with my dukes of hazard air horn and wolf race slot mags then any other vehicle and it went well too, the good old days
datsun cherry 120 hatch. vw scirrocco storm. mitsibishi colt starrion pop up headlights m8 tried driving his across russia in the 80`s people just stopped an starred thought it was a space ship or sumut. the fiat mirafiori was quite sort after because the engine would fit into most fords. vauxhall ferenza fast back and the vauxhall magnum these two are worth looking up cars before there times. audi quattro. i was smoking about in mk1 rs 2000
I saw on Saturday a white 5 door MK2 Astra SR(i'm sure thats what they were called?) in Trowbridge. Today a very tidy silver 3 door Nova, Not sure on the model though. My parents have a SD1 owner near them and his gold one sits outside all year round. At work for the last 2 working days I've parked opposite a dark blue 306 GTi6
Always had a soft spot for these I had one when I was 18 my first fast car lol. Fully loaded never ever let me down mine was the dark blue colour last of the line K reg.
