Rather than hi-jack the deadzed thread, I thought it might be interesting to see the cars everyone had leading up to their zed. I know this has probably been done before, but still..

Sheesh I thought I'd had a lot of cars, some very nice lists there, couple I forgot, I had a second 2.8i Capri while I had the GTR, the GTR went off road for a couple of months to save some money when I was living in London, so I bought a white 2.8i V6 Capri with a REALLY loud exhaust! I also left out my beloved Bertha! A white, blue and two different shades of brown LWB Twin Wheeled High Cube transit :D
