Nice list :-))

Makes someone smile.

Next to my list I also had some Fiats, UNO (1990, 1.1 Fire) and a Coupe
(1999 20V Turbo, with a stunning 230 bhp).

Than I had some lease-cars, like a Mazda 626 wagon, a Peug 307 SW and now
a Vauxhall Zafira (for us it's a Opel), but soon to be replaced by the
new Giulietta (or maybe a MiTo, but that would be for tax reasons).

Re-reading the list leads to the conclusion I must be middle-aged. But
alas, I also have a yamaha Virago, for feeling young.....

Maybe others can come in????????

I love the 20v Fiat engines. Either turbo or non-turbo. So smooth and
they sound like an early 80s Quattro on a rally stage when you cane them

My lease cars have been a current shape Passat diesel (Shamefully, I
liked this one), Focus 1.6 diesel estate (shockingly poor heap of junk)
and now a Prius, which isn't as bad as people say they are.

Had a Nissan Primera, Ford Escort and last shape VW Passat 1.8T as well.

I have a Ducati 750SS and a BMW R100RT.

The Ducati for when I'm feeling young and the BMW for when I feel as
knackered as my body looks....
