Saw an M reg Audi A4 the other day! Amazing how basic they are compared to today's A4.

I'm not sure these exist anymore! I'm not sure rust free pumas exist!

Taking my E30 M3 into XS Racing (when it needs any work doing) and ogling over the stuff they have in. Everything from Ford GTs and GT 40s, to Porsche GT2/3s and many types of rally cars etc etc. A gorgeous ZR1 in today. cloud9

I nearly twisted my head off in traffic a few years back when a K reg (1992) MK1 golf went the other way...

...none of my friends believed me. Then I heard about CiTi imports and the penny dropped!!

Going the other way but when I were a lad there was talk of G reg Mk2 XR2's. Back in the day it seemed exotic, not that a car had sat in a compound with nobody wanting to buy it frown

Lucky bloke, although he will obviously be very skilled. Adrian looks after mine. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Aye, I notice it this way too - like seeing a 51 or 02 plate 306, just seems wrong.

spotting other defenders on the road and trying to gauge what has been done to them and how rusty they might be underneath hehe

Other than that... seeing another celsior on british roads.

So far my count is one....

There was a '51' plate mk3 Polo on Ebay not that long ago. I'm guessing it was an import

N reg, were early E39's 1995? I thought they came out in 1996 with P reg. They don't look like they are nearly 17 years old!!
