What was the first car that you saw- be it on the road, at a racetrack, or on the telly, that had a lasting impression on you?



For me, it has to be this:

Jaguar XJ220 - My first remembered Supercar spotting.

I remember my first 'supercar spot' too. Being driven from Manchester to Brighton one night by my Dad in his old Mk2 Cavalier GSI (go and find one for sale now, I challenge you) for the wedding of a couple of my parents' old friends, we pulled in at a motorway service station for some 'food' by way of dinner at the Little Chef. Now, you've got to remember that I was all of about five years old at this point and had never been in a motorway service station before, so to me it looked for all the world like a spaceship inside. I remember looking out of some floor-to-ceiling wrap-over windows at the car park, and seeing one of these, in this colour, pull up outside:

Kevin, the chap who does IT for a mate has a mk2 cav gsi, recently restored, and another with the (i think) irmscher body kit.
Still, whatever floats your boat
