This

Wasn't all that to drive, but it would have seen me right financially if I'd kept it, given the aircooled fanboyness that's prevalent these days.

Apologies for the thread revival!







Loved my MX5! She'd only done 60k, but I didn't use her enough to warrant keeping her!

A mint, original XR2i in white about ten years ago. The values are creeping up a bit on these and they're pretty rare now.

I wish I hadn't sold my F250 Ranger in 2010 - I put so much work into restoring this truck and loved driving it on the weekend... but when I moved back to Europe, I was worried about being able to register it here due to safety legislation issues. By now it would be considered a classic and thus possible to register irked

Gutted I sold this one. 1.8 non turbo petrol, 250k miles, full service history, run so quietly you could not hear it running. Sat on 18 inch Audi TT rs alloys, I even put a stainless exhaust on it.... Mrs didn't like it, so off it went

I have had the pleasure of owning quite a few nice cars but these ones are the ones I miss the most. Great thread as well.
