Nice line up there mate..

Was the supra 3l Turbo ?, what was it like to drive, not compared to the four wheel drives, just in its own right?

Twinturbo, masses of power and back end happy, would even drift in a straight line when the accelerator was slammed. Round abouts, don't even think about it and deadly in the wet too. Not very nibble however the reliability was really spot on as was the build quality, looks were great and was smooth and comfortable to drive. A really nice car just really unforgiving.

Thumbs up

1. Austin Metro HLE (tuned but still not fast...)
2. Ford Orion 1.6 Ghia (faster...)
3. Vauxhall Cavalier GSI2000 16V (faster than it should have been...)

Then the scoobys start.....

4. Impreza Turbo 2000 (in the background)(properly fast...)



5. WRX PPP (faster than you'd think...)




6. WRX STI type UK (not really faster but a lot of fun...)




7. BMW M5 (so much faster it wasn't even funny...)




8. WRX STI spec C WRlimited (should be the fastest of the lot with 350bhp...)

Second - BMW 318 Ci coupe, 2.0l manual. Not got many pics of this, only when its **** up or dark Un-modded





And now - Merc C class sport edition slightly modded. Also the only brand new car I've had and I wouldn't have another merc if you paid me! (Unless it was an SL or similar)

The car is the golden oldie, not the (then future) wife


had the RS2000 for 9 years

eventually ended up with this


which I kept for 11 years.

Then I moved onto this

for 5 years before I bought the current one

These are by no means all the cars I've - in 1975 alone I had 9 cars
