Offline | I have owned the following cars - in this order: • Fiat Uno - 1 litre • Fiat Uno turbo - 164bhp  (Max Power featured  )• Fiat Punto - 1 litre • MR2 roadster (lovely car! best roadster you can get for the money IMO) • Renault Clio 1.4 dynamique + (not so lovely) • Mini Cooper S - my present car - which I love  I was going to get a VX220 instead of the MCS but after a test drive I decided it was jsut too impractical for where I live . I think the MCS is a good all round car - plenty of mods still to come too.Cheers, LB |

Offline | '96 Polo 1.4 '01 Mini Cooper '04 (well, 05 model) Cooper S All of which are fantasticly built cars (especially the Polo which never, ever went wrong) but neither compares to my S for the driving experience. I agree with the VX220 comment. Apart from the insurance company not wanting to touch me on a VX220 Turbo, I decided I wanted a car with a better interior than the average garden shed. Still, drive the VXT and you'll fall in love with it. |

| 86 Dodge Lancer ES Turbo - money pit, not reliable, huge turbo lag. 88 Celica GT - 8 + years of reliable service, never left me stranded. Slower than slow, but will NEVER sell it. 91 Dodge Stealth RT Twin Turbo - Fun, great handling car. Amazing acceleration 300hp stock, modded to 350+ - Gas guzzling money pit that cost major $$$ in maintenance.Overengineered by mitsubishi. -'04 MINI Cooper S. - So far outstanding. No complaints. |
