I would love to have back my 1993 Mustang 5.0 Notchback. What a gem it was! And this was during the times when ricers were really starting to emerge, I roasted SO many of these annoying little st cans. Good times, good times. When Camaros and Stangs united against gawdy st boxes with huge wings and neons.

My Mini Cooper





Stolen 11 years ago, still hoping it will turn up again one day.

I had a red one years ago, last saw it pictured in a Sunday Times supplement touring Italy!!!

It had obviously had a huge amount spent on it.

Fiat Bravo 1.6SX, W122NLD

Would love to have that car back. Don't know why, it was just a nice car. Not too fast, not too slow, quite capable, went every where, and was pretty reliable. Nice all rounder if you know what I mean.

If anyone ever sees this car I would love to buy it back regardless of condition.

Thanks for the info, I had a look through my car files to see what the exact date was. Unfortunately the photos are all I have left of the Mini, but the receipt for the car the insurance money went on is dated 18/12/99 so I'm guessing my mind is getting a bit fuzzy with age and it was slightly under 10 years ago.

The upside is this is what the insurance money went towards;

Bluebird Turbo.

If that Porsche hadn't hit me, I reckon I'd still be driving it now, nearly ten years on. Great car, totally underrated. In fact it wasn't even that fast, didn't handle that well, had a leaky door, but it was ace.

Car I will never sell - my 205 GTI. Plan on getting a lot of better, faster cars in the future, but will never get rid. I wanted one since my Dad had a 205 1.6 SR, and I saw a 1.9 GTI in the showroom when he went back to buy the aftermarket air conditioning unit. The salesman let me sit in it, and I fell in love. No amount of pleading would make my Dad buy one (exporting it to Egypt may have been a bit of a problem), so I had to wait until I could afford the insurance on one myself.

I had a 1999 728i for a while before I moved up to Leicester from Surrey to live with my then girlfriend. I sold it when I became self employed and bought myself a '98 classic Mini Sportspack. It's great but I wish I could have afforded to have kept both. The engine in the 728 was sublime.

I'd have my Bertone X1/9 VS. So may happy memories hooning up the backroads to the north coast of Devon for a surf. It had a K&N air filter and a modified Ansa quad pipe exhaust. Lots of induction noise and the exhaust could set off car alarms. I geniunely loved that car.

Caspian Blue Ford Escort XR3i NGG754Y with RS1600i Bodykit.

Nicked in 1990 and missed every day since.

Hope the scrote who nicked it and took it to somewhere near Openshaw in Manchester has since died in agony

My MR2 Turbo.

Reliable (ish) fast, fun, good looking (IMO)

I was 21 when I got it though and couldn't really afford to run a car like that. Not properly anyway.

I sold it after 3 years to a young guy from Peterborough who brought cash with him in a rucksack 24 hours after I advertised it.

I got £800 more than I paid for it and wasn't sorry to see it go - I don't really get attached to cars - but if I had to own a previous car again I think that would be it.

I'd like my first XR4x4 back. It was pretty much mint when I had it and was easily the best of the four that I have owned. If only they were a bit easier on the fuel.

Edit: In fact, it was just like this one:
