I'm curious as to what cars folk drive.

If you have anything interesting or out of the ordinary, or just special to you, what is it??

I've got a 1986 Ford Capri 2.8 injection Special

It's been "nut and bolt", bare metal restored with a few stealthy modern upgrades and period after market parts.

An example just a year newer fetched over a 100k at auction this year

My first car is a mermaid green skoda fabia 51 reg. She is called Tinks, and she doesn't like hills, and her favourite colour is green. I don't mind that she isn't the fastest or smartest car, she's mine and I got her all on my own. She's my sexmobile as well. :D

There is, I can't argue with you there!

I wanted something a bit newer but didn't like the 3 series coupes and the 4 was only just out and a bit steep on prices still. Think it's a 4 next time round though.
