I had an MGF for 3 years (am 25 now).

Not too reliable and a bit leaky by the end but it was a fun car. Had some ace/terrifying experiences driving over the pennines in the snow.

I don't regret buying it one bit. Was an enjoyable first car and was a bit different to the usual hatchbacks.

When i went for the test drive in my Impreza (MY00 Turbo) and set off home in the MGF I thought I had left the handbrake on....

Rover Coupe turbo.

lots of mods, rebuilt engine, forged pistons FMIC, bigger turbo, stronger box, clutch, suspension, bigger brakes etc etc.

Still got it, sold the STi Type R now to get a nice volvo Tdi for day to day use, Rover for the fun times, not as good a car as the type R, but then it cost a lot less as well, and it's a fair bit quicker than the scooby.

VX220 Turbo - went like sh*t off a shovel, but, though I never thought I would say it, I prefer the wrx! I guess I am getting old at an early age of 30, because I just love being comfortable again, with heating that works, lights that actually show you where you're going and space to throw everything you want to carry into the car (+ a first baby next feb, all things being well!).
