| I couldn't have afforded to insure a MCS at 20!! Focus is a good car though.... only downside is it's a bit too common, and my dad drives one! My first car was the original sports version of the Renault 5, which I suppose is a bit like today's Saxo.... it didn't handle though, but had a real screamer of a 1300 engine.... I remember driving it flat out; it was so low geared that in top at 100 mph the revcounter was redlined at 6000 rpm |

| I'm also 38, but am not quite as ... hmmm.. "experienced" auto-wise as many... 1978 Nissan 200SX (aka The Torpedo, in reference only to shape, not speed!) 1980 Mustang (slowest 'stang ever, powder blue, gift from Gramma) 1989 Mazda 626 GT Turbo (a significant boost in speed, and first "new" car!) 1995 BMW 540i (with 6-speed, now we're talkin'!) 1998 BMW 540i (also with 6-speed) 2001 BMW X5 4.4 And coming soon: 2004 MINI Cooper S -- drop in speed, serious boost in FUN! |

| Quite interesting... the mix of diesel vs petrol!!! I'll re-edit my first post to show the automatics! Don't forget they're so much better in London.... the CVT is SOOOO smooth and responsive... the Smart was interesting as it had a six speed manual with tiptronic full auto function and no left pedal... the clutch was electronically hydralically actuated! |

| 33 and only ever owned three cars. Not had one in almost ten years! First car: Mini (73) New shell, new engine, fat wheels, fat exhaust, rotton underneath... Second car: Mini 30 (89?) Great wee car, even better when fat 12" alloys put on! Long gap... Thrid car: Mini Cooper hopefully arriving within the week! |
