Ide like to start with my beloved little AX GT. Only a 1.4 but weighed nothing so it went like stink.

I always liked the styling of the 205 GTi's.... or the not quite hot hatch 309's...

my friend still has his 205 GTi he bought for a banger rally a number of year ago (had to be less then £100 to qualify to be used in the event)- it needs huge welding work every year for the MOT, but he does it all anyway even after moaning about it repeatedly!

When I was 18 - 1988 - my mates were all buying XR whatevers or sticking bodykits on their standard cars.

I bought a 1985 - B Reg - Nissan Bluebird ZX Turbo. "Fastest car in my village" ....
