Hey that's the same as my daily driver, but mine is blue. Same wheels and 5 pot though. Fantastic tool for the commute!

i have a saab 93 tit at the moment and would sell it in an instant to get another alfa, especially the later 20v ones, remapped to 200 ponys, (heads to autotrader website to have a look)

Certainly my most fondly remembered car is a 1990 Astra GTE 16V, Red top 20XE pre CAT, perhaps I remember through rose tinted glasses but it went like stink and did 40mpg+ at 80 something MPH. Also cool digital dash and the most comfy seats ever.

Took all my racing gear with ease as well as lots of camping gear for holidays and stuff.

Great cars GTE's I loved mine.. and the 16v lump was a peach

Sierra Cosworth, chipped to 320 BHP - sounded lovely
(was practical too!)

My pride and joy i owned for 16 years, 2.0XE16v on SBD TP208TB's I owned from a year old I do miss the car... but dont miss the £££ spent on her!!! I still had a list of things to do when she went

Anyone with an XE, the throttle bodies sounded awesome and fuel economy improved for round town and motorway cruiseing, put your foot on the loud peddle though and it could sup!! lol!!

She never got used so decided to sell... its gone to a good home in Geordie land now





And an arty farty shot

The Golf was the car I probably had the most fun in.. With a 1.8 16v fitted.
The Astra with a Courtney turbo conversion was really quick but it only lived a short life after it caught fire while doing 140 down the motorway so didn't get chance to enjoy it..
The Cozzie has to be my favourate.. Stage 3, Big music... Awesome!! Just cost too much to run daily and after four years of fun I had to sell it to buy a house and the Nob that bought it killed it after 5 months
Civic is my current car and reminds me a lot of my old Mk1 Golf really good handling and pretty quick just doesn't breakdown

I know that the point of this thread was to show your own but that Nova is a stunner, ive never seen it up my end though!
My favourite car was my 106 GTI in Diablo red with a few cheeky engine mods. Nice!!

My 1989 Dodge Shelby Daytona was my favorite. My friends called it the "Silver Bullet" because at full boost it was silly fast and it stomped Corvettes, Mustangs, Camaros, Grand Nationals and Trans Ams when provoked. Just a 2.2 8v Intercooled Turbo, which produced about 275 HP and 300 torque with a few cheap tricks.... This car was fun and made many Jaws DROP Old pics were scanned..


Also, my 1992 25th Anniversary Camaro Z28 Convertible (400hp with NOS) was fun but not like the Turbo Dodge.

I currently own a 1992 H.E. Z28 which needs restoration..

As a kid my 205 GTi Dimma it just looked brilliant back in the day! Still my all time favorite was my TVR Griff 500, just the sound that V8 made and 340BHP in a car so light.

Thanks to 2 young kids my mint 205 Gti 1.9 limited edition is about as good as it gets these days!
