^^^ Oh yes! I've actually had 964 Carrera 2/4s on my mind for the last couple of days since seeing some beauties over in Le Mans. Beginning to wonder how good a combo one would make with my CSL for weekend/fun driving

Went into the 2nd shed down the bottom of the garden, and stumbled across the set of 4 refurbished, immaculate wheels I have for a 106 S1 Rallye. Reminded myself I should really buy one at some point. 1.3 8v that makes 100bhp at over 7000 rpm? Yes please.

Having owned one, they are a great little car - very reliable, more engaging than a C2 would be, probably one of the nicest gearboxes I've ever used, good economy and a fun place to sit. The only downside is the lack of a 6th gear for motorway cruising but in reality it's a pretty small price to pay.

I loved it, so much so that I managed to persuade my girlfriend to buy it so I can still drive it (oh yes, I'm that good!).

Ultimately, take one for a spin and decide for yourself (I liked it much more than the Twingo 133).

I was talking to a good friend last night and I discovered that he owned a 2011 Suzuki Swift Sport which he adored and cherished. He couldn't say a bad word about it. scratchchin

You can get the same effect of ownership by having tt tattooed on your forehead

Haven't driven it but it looked lovely in the showroom in sophisto grey and cream leather, nice looking car in the flesh.

I have a real hankering for mildly tweaked 106 GTI.

I keep thinking of buying an Audi RS3 - i've not driven one or even sat inside one but they just seem to keep drawing me in.

My old 106 Rallye was a right laugh when you were in the mood for it.



Welcome to the world's smallest pedal box! Which was a joy to use even with size 11 feet, don't let anyone tell you they are undriveable!



Memories of a very hot and dry summer...




I must be getting old though, as all I lust after now are these...

I have always liked and wanted one, I pass one everyday on my commute to work everyday too which doesn't help.



And seeing a Hakosuka Skyline in a Jap performance mag recently has left me once again lusting after one!
I cant quite decide whether one of these or a mk1 Escort Twin Cam would be my first Resto Project from my upcoming Lottery Win.
