Peugeot 205 GTI was a death trap on wheels but I loved it. Would never buy French now though

1982 Ford Capri 2.0 . . unfortunately couldn't insure it but was great for midnight burns on the back roads. . . I later found motor bikes and haven't looked back. . . Its dangerous anyway. . .

84 mini when I was 15ish.... Spent years building at it to be told after passing my test I couldn't insure it......

Wish I never sold it....Have a later Mini in the garage now (single point injection etc) but not the same, can't warm to it, or face working on it in the cold

I'll finish it someday.

Never liked my first car. It was a crappy Korean but it did the job. I couldn't afford a better one at the time. The one I own currently is a whole different story. I very much like the European one I have right now. A very joyful and reliable ride.
