[VW GTI]

1991 Lancer GSR
1993 Honda Civic VEi
2007 Polo GTI

Lancer was awesome, I want an Evo some day. Civic was extremely economical (was driving 25000kms a year - 6.6L/100km). Love the Polo more than anything I've ever owned.

That is far too many Commodores before you got a decent car.

But you haven't even got it yet.

[Sharkie]

Jesus, some very exciting cars there(I want Sharkie's M Sport Coupe and 95 M3)!!

The M-Coupe was like a go-kart to drive. FUN .... It is also the only car I have ever written off .... No ESP .... a wet road .... highish speed and swerving to miss wayward pedestrian put it into a tree sideways at about 100km/h impact speed ..... not a pretty sight afterwards.

The 1995 M3 was awesome, modded and at a top speed run day I did 272km/h in it. (my mechanic did 278km/h !!!! ) with a longer run could have done even more !

I do miss many of my old cars for various reasons .... The BMW's (excl the 318i) the VR6, the turbos .... sigh

Love the Polo for what it is though .... if only I could fit AWD to it ....
