Subaru Impreza Turbo, W Reg.
Bought it from Holland at £5k less than UK Price.
Great car .... wish I had it as well as the Chimaera. Bought it for its practicality but the other half did not like driving it so I bought the impractical TVR which she does'nt drive either cos she can't reach the peddles.Had to buy her a Corsa but it is worth it.

I used to drive an Integra type R..red with 17" low profiles; beautiful recaro seats, momo steering wheel, fanatstic performance over 6,000 revs all the way thourgh to 9,000 revs. Did 65,000 miles in 2 years. Now woth cerbera 4.5 and a 2nd commuter car..a renault laguna 1.8 rt coming my way. Was going to get a Jag xj40 sovereign with 65,000 on the clock but everyone persuaded not to..so hence the renault (swapped from a little hyundai coupe 1.6..) as it was cheaper than getting a 40,000 mile service.
just had a letter saying if i want to get on list for Noble 12 GT0..then have to pay a refundable deposit...what to do..no more spare dosh.

Ummm, Ford Escort then Sierra then Mondeo. The latter being at least competent, unlike the former two. Then a Rover Coupe vvc, BMW 525i (gave that back, undisclosed accident damage), BMW 730i. Still got the latter, great for commuting, a real armchair on wheels. It's surprisingly game in the twisties too, at least if it's dry.
I didn't consider anything else before the Tiv, I just made the mistake of test driving one.

Nasty brown V-reg Polo 1.1
Silver T-reg Mk1 Golf 1.1
Red Y-reg Golf GTI Cab
White F-reg Golf GTI Cab
T-reg MX-5 Anniversary... which I'm stil driving, until the Tuscan arrives in March
Will probably get another Mk1 Golf (notice a trend?
) as my daily runabout when the Tuscan arrives, as don't want two 2-seaters, and can't afford to run them both.

OK, first off: LDO 585G Hillman Hunter 1725cc, followed YAW 20K, a 1971 MGB Roadster full of rust which I rebuilt then a 1974 Triumph Stag V8 in white, reg no. SOL 174M. No, after the MG and before the Stag for just two weeks it was a beige 1968 VW Beetle FGH 765F
Right, then it was all company cars, B reg Cavalier, then a C reg Cavalier then a new F reg Sierra Sapphire (the pits), then my pride and joy, a brand new Peugeot 205GTi 1.9 in silver (G222 JUB). Then a Y reg Fiesta when redundancy loomed. Then finding my feet again it was an E reg 205 like the silver one (E868 GNH), then a white one (J108 DFC)
Also had a Spitfire at this time. Concours weren't you WCT 144K!
Had a 306 Cabriolet M949HAV, now got as K reg Passat K858 XEW, a purple MGF (L111LDU) for the wife and the ol' Mustang OKE503F.
Oh and loads of motorbikes too
Phew!
