Uncomfortable as it was, I do miss my Ford Racing Puma...

I had an S2000 for a few weeks before realising it was an import. The garage happily took it back and returned the Audi TT we part ex'd and a cheque for the difference but by that time I was hooked on the Honda.

Noisy, cramped, incredible gear shift, bonkers engine - bloody loved it and so wish we'd got another especially since prices have only gone one way.


 Current: FF Westminster money pit

Gone:
RRS 4.2 SC
RRS 3.6 TDV8
FL2 TD4

It has to be a Landrover…..

J reg 200 TDi 3 door 300,000 miles on the original engine, towing trailers across Europe down to minus 30.

Amazingly reliable. Never broke down in 300,000 miles, and basically all it had was oil changes.

Built like the first Range Rovers, an affordable off road utility vehicle with modern (ish!) comfort.

Shame that design philosophy changed.

If I won the lottery, I would have a new one built from scratch.

Best wishes
Glen Previously......
Series 1 80, Series 3 88, Turbo 90, 300tdi 90, 110's with 200, 300, TD5
TD5 Disco, Disco 3, 200Tdi Disco - probably the best vehicle Landrover ever made,
Now 3x FFRR, some would say I should have learned by now......

Two actually!

First one was my Triumph Spitfire Mk4 that I bought when I got £800 compensation for a karting accident back in '74 when I was hit by a kart while marshalling at Aintree!

Had the Spitfire for quite a few years then stupidly p/exed it for a Marina T/C

Second one was a Sierra XR 4x4 but that had to go as we were showing Rottweilers at the time and it wasn't quite suitable, then got a Granada 2.8i Ghia X estate, then started on the Range Rovers!!

(Also had a couple of Alfa Sud Ti's)

I also miss my D3





and my D2 Also I've always been a bit of a green oval nut.

Mk3 Mini Cooper S K reg (1972) one of the very last built and registered........then again I probably wouldn’t fit in it anymore, but it would be worth a mint now! David

Please let me know if my comments upset you, I may wish to upset you again.

....simple, slow but a wonderful chariot. In retrospect its a wonderful piece of automotive design, IMO.

Quite a few ;
Uno Turbo digital dash-loved it
MK2 16v Oak Green one in a million golf
DC2 Integra Type r longest I've ever owned a car, had it from 3k miles.. traded it for:
Facelift S2000 - what an engine & box, as good as you read about.
Jag S Type r so much grunt

I'll be on ebay if you need me......

1992 red ford sierra gls hatchback, the best car ive ever owned, 90k in 18months in every weather going, it was fantastic.

If it's a green oval, then my G4 D2 Remember:- amateurs built the ark
Proffesionals built the titanic

I don't seem to be able to part with any of mine. Should thin them out really, but which to go?!
I also have a Land Rover 90, so four in total!

Well, not MY car exactly, but the first family car I remember. A VW Type 4 “411”.

I just googled a photo. Looks like this one. It seems it wasn’t a popular car and I never see them around anymore. It was nice, comfy, reliable and Mom and us kids loved it. Dad finally got rid of it due to worries about rust. Many fond memories of it on the school run.

The keeper

Only one car I sold I would have back.... Lotus Carlton. Dare I say it but, would even swap the range rover to get one back if I could find a decent one at a reasonable price 56 TDV8 Vogue SE
