Well with me I've always loved escort cossies but obviously with them no longer being made, what other affordable turbo'd four wheel drives are knocking about? Evo or scooby... and evo's are too expensive to run to merit me going for one.
I work in car sales and finance so see plenty of flash cars coming and going, get to passenger in (im not on the company insurance) a lot of fast and expensive cars some of which £100k + supercars and with a love for cars and rallying etc already combined with this you're just hooked. Well, knowing I can never afford something like that but still searching for that buzz, something with supercarlike speed, handling and AWD the scooby is the car that stands out to me.
As strange as some people may see it, I opt never to test drive a car before I buy it, I like it to just be a take it as it comes situation I find it more exciting if anyone can understand what I mean by that. I'm only on my 3rd car now but never drove one prior to owning them. I like the idea of being forced to adapt to different cars rather than just thinking "this car is ****" after a test drive because as mentioned until a few weeks/months in, noone REALLY knows their car inside and out and what it is capable of. I'm waiting til april to pick up an 07MY STi (might I add reluctantly) but it'll be worth the wait I'm sure. I've had 2 rear wheel drive cars now and drifting is great fun but now its time to do it with 4 wheels

lol okay maybe I didnt explain too well If a car has all the characteristics I look for, I wouldn't turn my nose up because I simply didn't like the driving position for example that does NOT mean I would buy a vauxhall lol
