well, being the son of a wheeler dealer i have had some 50 odd cars in the 10 years i have been driving, and have many experiences
most suprising car was a 1985 honda civic 1.5 gti looked ugly, had rust in weird places but was uber cheap and went like stink, had a 12v efi engine and over 3000rpm was a hoot, (not mine below but just for the ugly refrence) mine was red with 13" steel wheels and Wheel Trims
car i miss the most has got to be my alfa, was nothing special, a silver 156 jtd was lowered remapped to 170bhp, had a great sounding 5 pot diesel and is still the best drivers car i have had to date (for day to day stuff that is)
but my favorite car, the most fun the the car i have had for all of the 10 years has to be my mk1 escort
shes not perfect, but she is all mine
