Leyland Mini 850 (synchro didn't work so had to slow to 30mph to shift down - made for fun on the A1!!!!)
MG Metro Turbo (only four gears but drove like a go cart. Big four pot brakes off the Rover Vitesse meant it stopped on a sixpence)
Mk II Golf GTi (They were so good I had two - the first was nicked for body spares even though it had done over 180,000 miles, such was the build quality)

BMW Z3 2.8i. Yes, I know complete hair-dressers car, but the engine was fantastic when you went for it. However, anything less than bone dry and it was suicide with a soft top. I miss the rear wheel drive laughs (scares) and never thought in a million years I'd drive a scooby.....until I drove a scooby. I honestly cant see me driving anything else and unlike some of you guys I only opted for the standrad WRX. I bloody love it.

ill fess up, as well as the ZX, the car i had when I bought the scoob was a 1.5 proton...aeroback...metallic green, just like the Kwak...!
G reg 205XS for a few months until my WRX was delivered (bought for £250, sold for £250 and still going now over 3 years later as my brothers girlfriend has it)
'00 306GTi-6 in China Blue (sold it when ordered WRX so I didn't still need to sell it when WRX was ready)
1990 205 GTI 1.9 Special Edition in Miami Blue with full leather interior and sunroof (7 years) lovely motor hence why I got a cheap XS runabout.
Vauxhall Magnum 2300 with twin 45 Webers (170 miles to a 12 gallon tank I seem to remember!)
Vauxhall Viva on a L plate used to learn in and first car. (ended up being set on fire for fire brigade demo at a local fete).

Peugeot 206 Gti 180,
Great motor with a fab interior and pretty scarce on the roads, trouble was every time i saw another it was generally driven by a woman so i concluded that it was a bit girlie so i sold it and bought the car i'd always wanted, a WRX Wagon with PPP. Best car i've ever driven for performance and practicality.
