Errrrrrr..... quite possibly, but no idea to be honest

Picture was taken at Twickenham fire station with Fulwell bus garage as a backdrop. That would have been 1986 year after I joined the Fire Brigade

Apparently for sale for just short of £1 million???????

I quess that one is the genuine article then. Mine had the same paint scheme as the one in the photo I posted but was only a road going copy.

Are allowed more than one?

On reliability, it has to be my second car, a Y reg VW jetta which had 15k on the clock when i bought it off an old couple for £150.00 in 1990, a steal, in Gosport through my girlfriend at the time. Was so mint and never missed a beat.

For sheer power Nissan 350 Z directly imported from Japan - which I couldl never handle in the wet had to get rid of it as it just used to make me wet my pants every time i stabbed the gas pedal!

My Audi A6 Avant 2.8 quattro sport for just the sheer pace handling and comfort. Bloody miss it.

Mrs had an 05 plate 350Z, lovely looking motor, never got on well driving it though

This one, I know who owns it now, just got to get it back

Some good memories with that.

Martc · 17-02-11, 11:11 AM

Still got mine

My 1995 Mazda 323 fastback, 2.0 v6. Great handling car, went like a train and gave alot of people a bit of a scare in the traffic light gran prix. 146 Bhp in a car just over a ton. Just had a full stainless and a k&n induction kit on but apart from that standard. Chopped it in in the end against a brand new honda.

Always regretted it.

Mine has to be the TVR Wedge that I owned from 2002 to 2005. Lovely V8 growl with the hood down. They are marmite TVR's, you either love 'em or hate 'em. Most people prefer the curvy TVR's but I like wedges. (Ignore all those curvy ones in the background, mines the one at the front)
I must have have a boxy wedge thing going on

, as I love the original Audi Coupe's as well - see the pics in my welcome thread of my GT5S that I owned many moons ago.
