My recent fun cars: now and then. Love 'em or hate 'em?

[LotusOmega375D]

Been through this little lot during the past couple of years. All low mileage & mint. You can almost feel me getting older, married and having a couple of kids as the years pass!

1989 Lancia Integrale 16v (2006 - 2007, 200 bhp)



2000 Subaru Impreza WRX JDM (2007 - 2008, 247 bhp)

you have/had everyone of my dream cars... I hate you

[MotorsportTom]

That is one uber cool collection of cars!


I never knew they did a Lotus Omega... any more pics?

[pistonchris]

Have you had a car without a turbo.

[r1chardb]

Your first and smallest one is probably worth the most too!

Cool cars - all of them!

[NotKenBlock]

What an Iconic collection of cars!

Well done sir!

It's just an LHD version of the Lotus Carlton for mainland Europe, otherwise identical. They actually made twice as many as LHD Omegas as they did RHD Carltons.

What a collection/garage!!

Only when I was a youngster. My first two cars were:

1975 Hillman Imp (1987 - 1992, 45 bhp)



1971 BMW 2002 (1992 - 1993, 100 bhp)



Then I saved up for the R5T2 and kept it for 14 years, but couldn't keep it any longer due to the expanding family. It did only 250 miles in my final year of ownership, so had to go for something bigger.

Great cars, the 22B and Lotus Omega are spectacular.

[SammyW]

Wow! That's one hell of a collection. Very jealous.

[doodles19]

More of the 5 please! Such a glorious machine!

[Nedz]

22B still looks the bks!

[Mouse1903]

Can't fault that collection, I'd love to own all of them at some point, particularly the Carlton and R5!

This, that is my wish list exactly... though possibly different wheels on the integrale, if I was being picky!

Surely you would want the full fat evo integrale? The iconic one with the proper wide arches etc.
