Interesting cars I've owned
- 1972 BMW 2002Tii the colour of a lemon - that should have warned me...it eventually ate two gearboxes and 3 diffs...
- 1972 BMW 2002Tii but oranges are a different kind of fruit! - Gill's replacement for her late lamented Allegro...
and it's FOR SALE
- 1973 Porsche 911S my first car, driven at first on L-plates! Later owned by a farmer in Kent who let it go to pieces.
- 1980 BMW 323i the only car I've so far bought new; never again, the depreciation was awful.
- 1981 BMW M535i a wonderfully competent car at (by the time I bought it) a bargain price.
- 1984 VW Scirocco Storm MkII favourite of three Scirocco's I've owned; all wonderfully 'chuckable' and the 1.8GTi ones quite quick.
- 1987 VW Scirocco GTX 1.8 I sold this fine example only last year, and I still miss it
- 1987 BMW M5 'the ultimate Q-car' 0-60 in 6.0sec and 153mph claimed top speed - and it's FOR SALE
- 1988 Toyota Corolla GTi for its hot-hatch practicality mated to the superb MR2 1.6litre DOHC engine.
- 1989 Toyota MR2 T-Bar best gearchange around, superb driver engagement, and that 7,800rpm howl behind your left ear!
- 1995 Subaru Impreza WRX STi Wagon V2 simply the ultimate hooligan's car, and easily the best driver's car I've ever had
