Seeing as I've owned around 30 cars, listing every car I've ever driven would be nightmarish

It was the turtle shaped - 2.0 but 8v.
The 1.8 GTE is still one of the best looking hot-hatches mate, loved it and still do.

Indeed

At the time, I only had the 1.6 square shape, but it was quick enough for a 17-year old (most of my peers had 1.3s or bigger cars like Cavs).
