What was your second car?
Discussion
After a brand new Fiat Cinquecento Sporting for my first car in 95, my second in 96 was a proper car! I got a 1991(J654CCJ) Golf Mk2 Driver 5door Auto in Alpine White from Whites Volkswagen in Camberley for £5995. It had 34k miles on the clock and 1 previous local owner. It was perfection for me at the time. Always remember the day I picked it up, everything about it, even the salesmans name! Saw me through the Uni years in style..
..replaced it in 99 with a 1996(N373VOD) Golf Mk3 Driver 5door Auto in Mystic Blue from Cheam Subaru for £9995, which strangely left me cold despite a fabulous spec and only 3700 miles on the clock.

I had one of these, a Celica Carlos Sainz:
It remains the only car I've ever bought without reading up on it first. It turns out that despite being a rally homologation special, it was in reality a nice comfy GT, but to be honest in my twenties I preferred the mk1 MR2 I replaced it with, which was far more fun on the lanes around where I live

That looks nice.It remains the only car I've ever bought without reading up on it first.

Unfortunately my second car was a 1.2 Vauxhall Corsa (Kept for two years or so). My third car was also a mk1 MR2 T Bar (owned for almost 7 yeasr!!). It was a gem, a rusty gem! I think we should start a thread about your third car owned.....It remains the only car I've ever bought without reading up on it first.

One of these bad boys:
2.5l straight 6, 3-speed column change. Stupidly heavy on fuel: I collected a cupboard full of 'free' tumblers from our local garage in the 6 months I owned it.
About the only other thing I remember about it was the front bench seat one particular girlfriend liked to make use of
