Ford Puma 1.7 - Manufacturer said it was good for 130, and they were right. Cracking drive over the North Wales hills from Wrexham to Denbigh via Ruthin.

Saab 9-3 Convertible for the weekend when they first came out. Apart from the severe scuttle shake it was one of the nicest and coolest looking convertible saloons i've ever seen.
Buggers cancelled my op just a couple of days before it was due. Inconsiderate barstewards!! :rant:

a 3cylinder corsa we had in GranCanaria when over for the Race of Champions..........we had our own over the little passes, etc. and with the missing airbox it had an almost 6R4esque noise to it (in a childish, giggling maniac sort of way)

Red 1.1 Ford Fiesta which I stuffed into a couple of granite walls on Jersey as me and my agent had been celebrating closing a deal for new Boilers at Fauvic Farm and got pissed drinking the clients whiskey, I was driving because my agent had fallen off his boat and dislocated his shoulder needless to say he was not impressed with my driving

When I took the car back to Avis they were fine about the damage probably because they had just refused to hire Tony Jacklin a car

Oh what fun we had in the 80`s

If that is a red one Bello, I think I saw you in that today (near the lights by the old Thresher/Wine merchants in Norwich)
