Its Sunday… so lets have a fun topic ( no doubt its been done to death)

Il kick it off:

I miss my Volvo S60 (185bhp) with the 4c chassis option. Such a lovely car, mid range was fantastic.

Lovely red and black leather interior including doors

Dolby surround sound was just perfect

Could easily drive that Sheffield to Glasgow with no stops.

And for my second choice: a Peugeot 406 with chunky wheels, big arm chair fabric seats were just amazing.

Same - my 200SX S14A - lost when we moved countries, the one car I really want back.

My 4 litre TVR. Sure, it lacked the reliability and fuel economy of a Micra but that's not the point. Small alloys meant dodgy roads were fine. Have wondered about sticking smaller wheels and brakes on the 911!

In 2019 I got an i30N and it was a real hoot of a car. I then sold it in 2021 for over list price due to covid madness, parlty sold because of the price but mainly because the OH wasn't a fan of driving it and money was being ploughed in to the house so there wasn't really budget for a 3rd car.
Two years later I've got an F-Type as my fun car and amazing fun, however I do still miss the i30N for some reason.

Got to be my ‘99 sparkling Yellow 2.2 Honda Prelude Motegi edition with a manual gearbox.

I’d love to find a decent Prelude, but they’re all shabby as per Japfest 2023, such a shame

My 2018 OG BMW M2

Sublime and I was stupid changing it for a CLS63

I’ve had “better” cars in theory but that was my pinnacle

I miss my RX-8, bought it when I was 20 - fantastic car, great fun to drive and a really fun engine.

Sadly didn’t have anywhere to store it, and petrol prices started shooting up - ended up selling to WBAC for £1k after 4-5 years(I bought it for ~13k)

Wasn’t cheap to run, didn’t like sitting not being used and didn’t like cold weather - but still miss it regardless, can’t fathom how much of a car it was/is for the £1k I sold it for, the tyres were worth not too far off that 😂

Oh, I also miss my 650bhp R32 GTR that I sold for £8k. nuts

What I should have done was put it in the garage for 20 years and then sell it as is for £100k or whatever.

That said, I should also have accepted the 1 BTC that someone offered to give me when it was worth fk all.

Hindsight is 20:20 and all that. biggrin

Celica GT4 ST205, absolute rocket ship for the time with handling and brakes to match, got mine to 354bhp. Slight rwd bias and very strong transmission and diff.

For me, a Lotus Evora S, and BMW i8, I did have 2 of them, and would happily have another!





And the R34 GTR I had, At the time I don't think I appreciated it enough. I also sold it for a loss, which is annoying considering how much they're worth now..

My 172 Cup. What an angry little car, such a riot to own. It's still alive, currently up in Aberdeen.
