Last year was full of regrets selling up the cars I love. But at the time it was the only way out of financial situations (including losing my job after 10 years and getting a first house!)

 

First of all was my 300zx, which I sold to Z32 (now in the scrapyard) :cry:

My R32 GTR, which now lives in Sweden (with a broken engine after cheap swedish fuel was put in) :rolleyes:

and my '72 Dodge V8 - too big, too noisy, too much of an arse to own :nelson:

the genuine artical TWR xjs 6.0......Si i aint got any pics so could you pull a couple from your bottomless pic collection please:)

Honda civic type R, had it between Z's, by far the best car ive ever owned and i will defo have another, usable daily, hit the track at weekends, or throw the bikes and camping gear in. And it runs, everyday, no matter what.

Not that i dont love my Z of coarse, but you love with your heart, the brain would say what are you doing binning money into a car you can hardly ever drive.

I miss my zed but i'll have another one sometime and i've learnt alot from the ownership of that one to know exactly what i want next time.

 

I also miss my bmw 323i, was a brilliant car, second car i had @ 18 and felt rapid, sounded fantastic as well. Only had 57k on the clock when i bought it, as with all my cars, sold it for far too little. (I traded it in for my 300zx)

When all my mates had xr3's xr4's and Mantas, I went for a MK2 Supra just to be different, It was a great car and well kitted out for its time. had it for 5 years before trading it in for next to nothing. wish id had space at the time and I would have kept it!

 

Werent many about back then, and must be like rocking horse poo now.

 

Cant find any pics of mine, but it was one of these.

I used to have a Manta GTE, in Barytt brown metallic (rare colour), was

an absolute minter, not sure what happened to it:(

Would be worth a few quid now.

Also had an early Calibra 16v, that was good fun, but it fell to pieces!

I would have loved to of kept my Porsche 944 (Which had been in Only fools and horses) and my Robin Hood Kit Car....... If only I had a double garage:(

Choice of two cars i had when i was a late teenager. (late 80's, early 90's))

A red MK2 RS2000, which i killed into my mates MK2 mexico.

Then my real toy, An Avon lotus sunbeam.It was white with a big blue stripe down the sides. ex rac rally car. Full roll cage, forest arches, huge exhaust (very loud) and just under 220BHP. Used to get stopped on a regular basis.

But rolled it after watching the British rallycross Grand Prix at Brands, where Will Gallop won in his 6R4.

I thought i was super fast, but not until i lost the back end on a tree stump.

Rolled 4 times into a field and took out a tree for good measure.

Thank christ it was a fully kitted rollcage.

 

Who have one everyday..........

My old 1981 2.8 Injection Capri.

I really should never of sold her. Although I replaced her with another 2.8i (5 speed) it was never as good as my old 4 speed. Even an XR4i (3 door), which was a lot smoother and in much better condition, was still no mact for the fun I had in the first 2.8 :rolleyes:

Loved the JPS Specials :hyper:

Honda Crx-del sol SiR Mugen Import. 1.6 180bhp. I loved this little baby, it had so many cool features, such as the first ever transtop electric roof, and the rear window going down :D also the bullet proof B series honda engine & a unique look to it. Never failed me ever that car, 100% reliable. :(

had a 1972 mustang mach1 manual, no brakes rubbish handling not even fast,but sounded fantastic and took off like a scolded cat and i loved her.hav'nt masterd pics yet:o

definitely my old alpina tuned 325i coupe

 

had that bout 8 years ago. Very very quick car, even more so than my Zed strangely enough. I still dont know what engine work it had but it was fast. (pics with the old wheels)

The car I've regretted selling is my supra :( miss it madly, giving the zx a try soon though - Have loved them since I was young, so can't wait to get my mitts on one :D
