Major Come Down...
Well I am going to get in here and make you all green with envy because I had the most fantastic coupe that unfortunately was written off...

An R Reg Hyundai Accent Coupe in a light green shade, didn't really go or corner, had a big dent behind the drivers door (from when it was written off in Dec 05) and also a dent in the boot where I lost the plot one time and kicked it (oops) .
Also the drivers side window didn't work, neither did the sunroof and it didn't have air conditioning - sweat box in the summer.
Then again it did get written off for about twice what I paid for it from a mate and I even managed to sell it for a couple of hundred as well...
One thing I do miss though is the variable speed intermittent wiper (on the wrong side - Korean Car).
Looking forward to seeing if anyone had anything worse before stepping up to a ZS180!!!

first car was a part share in a Saab 9000S at college, but I couldn't legally drive so I only did the once at a drag strip at Edzel air force base
then came my wee ZR
The day I picked it up
In winter "thug" mode
at Knockhill
new rimmage
Why I was called the king of bling
and just before I sold it
I owned this for 2 days, but a f*** up with the insurance meant I had to get a refund. I was not a happy bunny

1. H reg Peugeot 309 (wasnt mine, it was my cousins, but I used cause she couldnt drive yet, but I crashed it anyway...)
2. H reg Renault Clio RL (only 4 gears! Bullet proof car though, ran perfectly well with one spark plug not working, it managed to weld itself in and we couldnt get it out)
3. Citroen Saxo VTR (Hated that car...)
4. MG ZS 120
As you can see, I was quite glad with the MG, only to get away from the froggy cars...

Where do I start?
To answer the specific question in the title, I would have to say a ZS180 (LMG mk1). This car was fitted with a BMC CDA and Leda suspension. When I sold it, it had over 144,000 miles on the clock and had done at least 12 track days.
