My mk1 Astra, not because it's anything great but just the fact you don't see any around now.

19 year old me put it through a field backwards and rolled it end to end into a tree.
Not my finest hour if I'm honest.

More impressive than falling 4ft off a ladder. Did you do any damage.....to yourself?

Made a bad day at work, into a good night out. Smiles per Miles - Great stress relief

Really miss my old e61, 530d. Fantastic engine!

Yeah, a few TVR's have turned up. My only regret with the Z is that it is German and not British. I hope I haven't offended anyone with that comment.

First of 2 new Ford Capri. 1979. Best paint finish I've had on a car since. 2nd one was a better colour - 1981 Graphite Grey.

My dad had one of those followed by an Ambassador then various Rovers. A few Maxis were before the Princess along with other British Leyland cars. He never wanted to buy anything other than British Leyland/Rover until he finally bought a Civic, and then another one.

The father in law would never buy a Japanese car. After the Princess he bought a Rover 213. He nearly choked when I told him it was basically a Honda.

My old 2004 S2000 GT finished in Moonrock Grey with a full red leather interior. The one car I wish I never sold.

I was considering buying another one just before I bought the MC, however, I couldn't justify paying what they are presently going for. I purchased mine in 2014 and I must have paid at least 50% less than what facelift examples are going for now.
