Subaru Impreza.

When I had my GTI-6 I came up behind one stuck behind another car. Had no idea what it was thought when we got to a straight I would overtake, but the car in front it turned off and it disappeared into the distance!

After that I had to have one - mental car that was, the performance and road holding was a supercar slayer back in them days (1999 ish), 911's couldn't keep up!

The first car that blew me away as a kid was my dads Jensen Interceptor - even the name was cool!!!!!!!!!! God how I loved being driven to school

my Peugeot 205 GTI was my first performance car and it seemed way faster than anything I had owned before

My first BMW was a 2005 e90 320d but when I got my e90 330d it felt like a racing car in comparison to a tractor and that 6 cylinder was so smooth

As a passenger doing a ton in a triumph spitfire down A1 - I think that would have been its maximum speed with no head wind lol.

Driving would be a rally prepped Mini Cooper with twin webers (if I remember right), full harness.

I had not long passed my test and the charge hand at garage I used to work at took me out in it, then let me drive it around an old industry site.

Mine would be my uncles freshly renovated Roush engined 427 Cobra! Straight through exhausts and 450bhp at the wheels ruined me for almost all other cars

I have been privileged to have been in some amazing motors but the cobra is one car I would love a ride in - it is one of the only American sports cars that really gets my interest (OK - before you flame me I know the AC was a British car but it was Mr Shelby who was crazy enough to shoehorn in a thumping V8!!!)

Yeah it is an amazing and iconic car.

Something about it just ticks the boxes.

Admittedly I prefer the Viper, yes I know it does not compare on handling lol.

However driven a few across the pond and they just do it for me lol.

For me it was the early to mid 90's and a pal of mine had imported from Japan a car not many in the UK had heard of at the time.

It was a GTR33 in midnight purple.

I was utterly gobsmacked at what it was capable of.
At the time it was a very fast thing of beauty.

By todays standards a standard JDM one will not feel fast, but back then it was something that would utterly smoke supposed far more expensive "superior" machinery.

Simple one for me.

For a car I was passenger in first was back in 1993 when I was up at Silverstone Classic for work. One of my clients offered to give me a lift back to London as lived down the road. I kindly accepted his offer, not really thinking about it. Came round corner to find an F40. It was a drive home I will never ever forget.

Indeed the only thing that has probably surpassed that was when we supplied all the on-board cameras for the show at Autosport Show. I got taken around the course by Stig Blomquist in an Ur Quattro and Ari Vatanen in a 206 T16. Was truly jaw dropping.

We never made a huge amount from the in-car business (sold it a few years ago) but it was fun!
