Thought id add my little list, so From my first to current car 17-25yrs of age...
E Reg Xr3i
H Reg Escort RS Turbo
T Reg Impreza Turbo
all above modded..
Had a Renault 19 Chamade for a bit while I had the Xr3i but that doesnt count as it was a second car. Time for a change soon but nothing beats the Impreza for the £££

Interesting reading
"most people" seem to have generally got into faster and faster cars.
Though Im interested in those that peak and then drop down a bit, then go back up again. House purchases perhaps
or just sick of spending shed loads on running a thirsty bhp wagon

88 Cavalier 1.8 LXi
91 Cavalier GSI2000 16V 4x4 modded to hell and back, 299bhp
94 Cavalier Turbo 4x4 slightly modded 380bhp.

USA cars
88 3.0 chrysler voyager (wifes) Gave away for a 6 pack of Fosters.
95 Oldsmobile Aurora 4.0 V8. (current car - wifes)
Looks like a granny car, 257hp plus gobs of torque means it smokes the tyres nicely. Played with slightly, now about 280hp. Very stealthy in triple black. Loads of toys and leather. Handling is poo.
99 Chevy Tahoe 5.7 V8
260hp and enough torque to pull 6000lbs up the side of a cliff. Major electrical gremlins about 12 miles after the warranty ran out, traded for the WRX
02 WRX wagon, virtually standard. (current car)

now this is a shame.. in all this I see NO mention of the Austin Ambassador... 1.7...."L".... in gold, or the MG Maestro EFi 2.0.... which was actually a real hoot...
my fav was my first.... 1969 mini 850 bought for £20 when I was only 16... oh the memories - I think I stuck about 8 million dials into a plastic tacky dashboard, met a great guy who sold me seats, engine and stuff for only £20 and I went on to have many 'first car experiences' in that motor....
