Question Do you miss your old car?

Every time I see one I really miss my UR Quattro, does anyone else miss a previous car?

I really miss my RX8

Oh - apart from the ridiculous oil consumption, the outrageous petrol consumption, and it's total inability to move in even a milimetre of snow of course

I still miss my old Mini that I had back in the '90s. It was beautiful to look at but a complete pile of junk under all the polish and shiny bits

I miss my heavily modified MK2 golf GTI from nearly five years ago, which is why i have bought another GTI 8valve to use to and from work whilst returning nearly 40mpg, and the Scooby is my weekend car.

I had a mini that would have been 42 now...

The hydrostatic suspension had dropped on the nearside, so this meant that left handers through housing estates could be taken at warp 8 as the car went in unbalanced and pre-loaded

I do miss my Saxo VTS, as it was a great little car and my first performance car. I'm in two minds about my ol black wagon. It was a great car and I did enjoy driving and modifying it, but I did have various problems with it, and have to say this marred my feelings towards classic impreza's so much so that if I do return to owning an impreza, it certainly won't be a classic.

After owning it for 6 years I put it into dry storage. Two years later I had to sell it to buy our first house after years in a flat. The day I sold it I regretted it as it was compeltely standard and in pritine condition for the 96,000 miles it had done. The car was a 1990 H plate Renault 5 GT Turbo in Glacier White. Simply the best car I have ever owner.

I heard a Scoob (classic - the best! ) today, and for a second, I did miss the sound.......

But then I realised I what I now drive - eased the twinge slightly, but will always miss the old flat four growl. Very distinctive sound

My UK300 I don't miss, because I like my WR1 better
My Audi Quattro, I do not miss, because it is in my garage with a flat battery

Got to admit missing my Fiat Strada Abrths. Espeically my modded one that had even bgger valves, gasflowed gead and naughty cams. It flew and sounded great. One of the few cars I've ever had that scared me and the best throttle respnse of any car I've drive. King of the hotch hatches without a doubt

In this day and age of Eco-terrorism, Alfa Romeo thoughtfully provided me with the Greenest car of them all. My Biodegradeable Alfasud. Do I miss it ?
You bet I do. Flat four with **** off 40's and handling to ambush sleeping Integrale drivers. (None of you Scoobs out there then) The good old days (I think)
