I still long for the torque of my vectra diesel.

It was a 2008 3.0 V6 SRi Ex-PackII Nav. Had Xenon AFL, electric sunroof, nav and was lovely to drive (contrary to what people say about vectras). The seats were comfy and cloth (i prefer cloth). Bought it at 4000 miles and sold it at 18000 after owning it for about 12 months. frownfrown

The Mondeo st220 i have now is nice enough but it just doesnt feel like the vectra. Yes it handles better but the leather seats are cold on my arse, it isnt as comfy and the dash layout isnt as nice. No nav and no afl either frown

At the time it seemed like a good idea to cash it in but now i totally regret it. If anyone out there drives one of these, it might be mine, let me know laugh

I suggest replacing the ST220 with a sofa.

Modified (ok, chavved) 6 series, and manual X300 3.2

The 6 series would be going up in value again, and I'm still checking the classifieds for the next manual Jag.

I miss my old '00 Focus 1.8 Collection. Bought it as my 21st b'day present to myself & part-ex'd about 16 months later for a Mondeo ST TDCi. I dont regret the trade, only that I couldnt afford to keep both. I would buy it back in an instant.

My Renault Sport Twingo 133... I ordered it from the factory exactly how I wanted it - quite unique too. The engine noise was amazing with no modification and it had precise, crisp handling. Probably one of the best new cars I've owned for under £15k... (Yes, new, before everyone tells I could have got a used M3 or MX5 for that budget. tongue out) I see the Twingo around and it is still immaculate so a credit to the new owner.

I've since had another petrol and now ended up with a diesel. I don't mind chugging along, it's fun, in an agricultural sense... wobble

Would take back my little Twingo any day if it was offered in the same condition as I left it. Quirky yet awesome little car!

I miss selling my March Cabriolet frown
It was an awesome car, rare, fun and a total laugh to own! The only bad thing was the fuel consumption frown My mum owns it now so I can still see it, but I'm craving for another one of my own!

Out of all of them? My BMW 750iL - a great car of luxury with a performance that would put a lot of cars to shame.

It was a stupid mistake to make and I only parted with it as it was not a practical estate. Perhaps I should have fitted a towbar frownyikes

Still miss it. But I see its also still on the road according to the DVLA. So wavey to whoever owns N***JLU

A 20 year old manual 735i, despite all it's quirks like the drivers seat motors pushing you up and towards the steering wheel everytime you touched the brake pedal. Loved that old boat, surprisingly fun to hustle along too.
