I've had some rubbish ones (funds permitting). But I've also had some nice ones, which include: 1. Lancia Thema with a Ferrari engine, which was quicker than; 2. RS500 Sierra Cosworth (I was only 23 and bought it with a 90% loan / HP and then had to take out another loan to pay the insurance) 3. Porsche Boxster (with the slow 2.5 girls' engine) 4. Porsche 911 Carrera (3.2 1985 reg) 5. BMW 7 Series B10 Alpina exact replica (with a nice pumping 4.4 V8) 6. Mini Cooper S Works And I love old Jag XJSs too. Bought one 17 years ago when I was 25 and recently bought another. Nothing, though, comes close to the current Bay, now nearing completion!
