I can hear it snorting from here

My mum and dad had a Mirafiori in turd brown - what a horrible car - wierdest gearlever I've ever used - half way between the floor and the dash - kind of stuck out at 45 degrees. Underpowered (no idea what engine it was) bouncy, noisy, rattly, bla bla..

The Lancia Beta before that was quite fun though - rusted away, of course

I like cars that make people think 'Oh look it's an old Alfa (or whatever), haven't seen one of them for years'

Nissan Figaros do that despite being a 90s car!

If you saw the spec list, and the

Anyone suggested Daihatsu Charade GTi Turbo? A grin a minute car from the late 80's early 90's.

See those pictures? They are seriously pornographic. OMG!!! How much do i want to go and find one now.

You'll be lucky, those are pictures of the Abarth rally version, produced to homologate the car for rallying, if you think hens teeth are hard to find, try to find one with a gold filling as well!!

The Sport doesn't look quite as horny, but it's an awesome drive!

:P
