Still the most fun I've ever had in a car, it's not always about performance or badge, some cars just stay in your heart.

I would buy it back now for lols, but from what I can research it has gone to heaven. Image not actual car but identical:

My wife had a Europa Blue Astra Coupé Turbo and that was a quick car

Wish I'd kept my CSL but sold it in 2006 to buy a 911, idiot!

Regret selling my supercharged Honda S2000. But had to go in prep for emigration. Once relocated, I hope to get a 70's skyline as a project.

[Dr Forinor]

My VW Corrado VR6.

Strictly speaking it's still in my possession, but I don't have the time/money/space to bring it back on the road for now.

First car I bought on my own - Fiat Coupe Turbo Plus. One of the very last off the production line. Had it for two years and sold it for more than I paid for it. Worth even more now but that probably wouldn't take into account the £££ it required to keep it on point. That 5 cylinder turbo engine...

My uncle stole one of those around 30 years ago. Changed the log book details too. Back then you could apply for one. Peppy little engine. Awkward stereo placement. Easy to hot wire. Uncle no longer steals cars. Reformed man.

Had the family over last week and got the old photos out for some fun and embarrassment in part then I came across some old cars I had, just made me think ahhh if only I kept them.....

You'll have to excuse the photo of a photo!

E30 325i complete with LS diff





Then this brute with its V8 & rear cart springs, cost a load in rear tyres






...and for the eagle eyed, yes that is a 740 turbo volvo peeking out

[mmacho90]

My Volvo S60r I had in college. It started having some issues and I just quickly sold it because ya know broke college student. But it was a fun little car

[Wills2]

My old SL320 picture taken over looking the 18th at St Andrews with a potato back in 2001 I think, it was a lovely drive up there nice and warm. The SL was perfect for sunny days and long drives.

On the back of the last Grand Tour episode, my mk 2 Cortina 1600E in Fern Green. Was my second car after a Marina so quite an improvement. Second photo is after a close encounter with a Fiat Strada.

That 325i is lovely. I still look at e30 318is or 325i sports. Gone up in price big time over the last 5 years or so

Still something I really want to own, definitely on my inheritance list!

I loved my 318iS. A company car. Delivered the week before my 26th birthday in May 1990. I originally wanted an Alfa 164 but work decreed that was above my station..

Thanks, I really enjoyed it despite cracking the sump twice it was quite low but in standard form. Put an M3 sump guard on after that & it was fine

6 pot normally aspirated BMW's just have that lovely engine & exhaust sound as standard still makes me look around when I hear one. Has a sensible size grille as well !!

[JustChris]

Hmmm.

Missing this little guy a bit.

[Cherry2.0]

Bought my 2003 Si new with 40 miles on her. Unlike our UK friends, we never got the EP3 Typ R version, so it only came with 160bhp. To help fix that, I added a turbo setup which took it to roughly 260whp. I drove it up to 160,000 miles before I ended up selling it. I really do miss this car.

[TiredGeek]

Much missed old series 2 Landy, fitted with a 3.2 race tuned Ford V6, around 240bhp at 7000 rpm going through a drive train designed for 70, cross ply tyres, drum brakes and cart springs. It was FUN
Older folks might have seen it running around Leeds in the '80's....

[GOF_430d]

For me its my Seat Freetrack, it was practical had pseudo 4 wheel drive [never got stuck in snow], 168bhp diesel engine and could scare Cooper S Minis on roundabouts [the beauty of 4 wheel drive] also missed the two footrests [clutch and accelerator side making long journeys a doddle].

Part Ex'd it for a 320d convertible [mid life crisis moment] which was painfully slow by comparison.

I can't work out if this post is for real, or a joke. Sorry

It’s not always the best car that you miss, some just get under your skin....
