Ford Probe 2.0L 16V, nice car in stunning Chameleon Blue paint. Not too quick though.

115 BHP, 0-60 in 10.6 secs and a top speed of 128....

Amazingly for a car with 'modest' performance it was Insurance Group 16.

Cheap as chips too, virtually had to give it away when I got the Scoob (5 weeks ago) and it was a 97/R in great nick.

Only changed cos we bought a dog so I needed an Estate :D

Forgot to say have a MY02 Wagon Import

T-1000 26 March 2004 05:56 PM

Focus 1.8 Zetec nice motor but lost 5K in 2.5 years so brought a MY03 WRX and love it!

To right i had a G60, i thought it was quick but then i got my first scooby!

But they were/are good cars, loved hammering down the autobahns in it.

0-60 wasn't to bad either.

Neilo 26 March 2004 06:19 PM

Rover 214 here, a 94M model. 74 of your finest bhp, 0-60 in calendar months and topped out at 104 would you believe......

Bloomin maaaarvelous

Ozzy Scoobourne 26 March 2004 06:20 PM

one step further
 
as an add on question, if money was no object, would you still be driving around in a scoob or would you opt for something else.....?????? and what do you think is the best car ever..??

fatgarykeys 26 March 2004 06:21 PM

Fiat Seicento Sporting 1.1, yes the bright yellow ones

Eddoe 26 March 2004 06:39 PM

MIne was a nissan 300zx twinturbo jap import(bring on the oversteer!!):)

FrenchBoy 26 March 2004 06:56 PM

Clio Sport 172 Mark 1

Really loved it, my first real fast car.

Went for the scoob as it was the fastest thing for the money (03WRXppp) and it flatters my poor driving skills!!!

If money was no object i think i'd still only go for the T25 or Evo 8 FQ330.
might be tempted by the Clio V6 though.

andypugh2000 26 March 2004 07:03 PM

One of my faster cars was a rover V8 powered capri which i converted myself, then a 2.8 injection then pug 205 (marriage) astra gte 16v (divorced) then landrover discovery (miss like crazy) and now the silver bullet MY98 wagon ;)

subaruwr1 26 March 2004 07:05 PM

I had a Prorsche Boxster s which was a 3.2 and such a fantastic car in the dry but not ideal in the wet I found

Geddon 26 March 2004 07:19 PM

Rover 416sli on a J plate:)
Now that was fast........not.

Porsche 996 C2 not looked back since

Vonzack 26 March 2004 07:58 PM

FSO Polenez 1.5 - Built and handled like a tail happy Tank.

Skoda 136 Rapide - I was young, it was free and it was black with a set of cosmics on.

Pug 205 1.9 GTi - Got it when I was 19, 14 years ago, impressed me so much I will never sell it.

Rover 214 SLi - Didn't go, didn't stop. It was cheap to run and insure though.

Pug 306 2.0 XSi - Quickish but too heavy for 130 bhp.

MY04 WRX - Still running it in, but still great fun.
