1984- Green 1969 VW beetle (passed test in it! had loads of good fun)
1985- MG Metro Turbo (I was only 18)
1986- XR2 (boring- hated it!!!)
1988- Pug 205 1.9 Gti (1st proper car, brilliant!)
1994- Clio 16v ('99' Hill Power 150 bhp head- great replacement for 205!)
2002- Clio 172 (even faster yet very well put together, great interiour!)
2004- MY05 Impreza WRX (always wanted one and had the excuse with new family member & 4 drs!) whoooopy dooooooooooooo!

1st - 1991 205 1.9 GTi - fantastic car
2nd - 1992 205 1.6 GTi - mint, but bit of a let-down, 1.9's are far more fun IMO
3rd - 1991 205 1.9 GTi Turbo Technics - - bye bye Impreza's! (once moving!)

now... ok not actually a scooby... but scooby or Evo amongst the contenders

and see the full collection of what I've driven - even if I did not own it all !!

PS add a few specials like a Ferrari Testarossa but the distances were short.
