Sam Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) First car I was driving around in was a 4 speed 205, it was actually a great little car. I purchased a 1.2 clio soon after, which I successfully rolled into a field after 3 months. Just put a deposit down on my 21st car in 10 years of driving, a Clio 182.

Don't see very many of those! I gave away a gearbox to someone with a 2002 touring recently so he could keep it racing. Must a rare site at a track!

Do like the xr2 fiestas too. Nice cars. Most have rotted away now or been butchered,a good original one will be valuable for sure,I've had 2 mk2 golf GTI's the last being a run out edition in pearl grey,tastefully upgraded,both would also go for a premium now too,I've also owned a cavalier 4x4 turbo 204bhp rare cars now,if only I had of kept them.
