Has Motosport Influence Your Car History?

[robm3]

Was watching an Australian V8 Touring Car race on the weekend and thought, I'd rather like a V8 Holden HSV.

Then I recalled back in the early 90's I brought a Volvo 850 T5R mainly because of how good they looked in British 2lt Touring.

But it get's worse than that. I also suspect I was heavily influenced to buy an M3 because of the BMW POWER badge on the rear of the 2001 Williams F1 cars I enjoyed watching (strangely I also had Alliance Insurance with it too).

Please tell me I'm not the only one who's been weak enough to be influenced by Motorsport???

Yes it did for me. Watching the Audi quattro blitz everything in the forests (most of the time) in the early 80's had me hankering after one. Took me until 1990 to get one, kept it 5 years until family meant I had to sell. got another in 1999 and still have it.

Been my only motoring constant since I was eligble to drive and now have had one in the drive for a combined 20 years. Still love it!

That's awesome!
