It'd be the rangie in my sig - only car I've ever regretted selling.... But then it was either sell that or my Chevy, and that just wasn't happening! lol Funnily enough that very car is the one I'm missing badly at the moment as i just had to sell it on 8 months or so after buying form bladerunner!!!! Brilliant car, fecking amazing machine off road and a big GET OUT OF MY WAY bruiser on road ;D Loved it....

My 1850 Dolomite I was doing a load of mileage in all weathers and it really was too good for it. Went to a good home though.

I had three of these mk1 1.5 12v CRX's, this was my first and the best, ran with twin 40's and a powerflow exhaust, had head and cam work too.. ended up putting it sideways into a roundabout.. snapped the stub axle clean off and bent the chassis good and proper banana shaped... ended up trying to salvage it and rebuild another one up but it was never the same

Sold it in a fit of rage for peanuts, ate a gearbox every year without fail, spat plugs out of the head...and made me sell my Mk1 Goof to keep it on the road. It was a little sh1t, but when it worked ;D

It was a little sh1t, but when it worked ;D is nobody parking near it in case the rust is infectious, ;D, on a more serious note, A cracking little car, had one breifly, ragged the nuts off of it more than a few times and it allways came back for more, Back to topic, ones I wish I never sold, choice of 3, Mk3 Zephyr Zodiac Abbot Estate, Mk1 Zephyr Zodiac fitted with a 289 and TJ fuel injection, with a Tiger 4 speed box, and Superspeed Anglia, "Little Red Rooster" built by the Young Bros, 1650 pre X flow on side drafts, and with factory warrenty when new!!!!

LOL, 2 cars for me. My old beige 120L estelle that was slammed at the front. How did I know I would be so ahead of the pack for pensioner slamming chic. Low slow and uncomfortably so Then there was my GT4. Bought for £1800, spent over 2k on modifying it, handled and gripped like monster and went like stink, but drank oil, instead of doing the sensible thing of thing and getting it fixed I flogged it for £1650. I still see it flying arround.

I've had hundreds of scrappers old bangers and some pretty mint motors... But my all time favourite is the first car I ever built properly. I regret the sale of that car virtually very day.. Edit: How do I find out if it still exists??

This... not very retro I know but hell it was a good car... used to love embarassing Audi TT's, RX8's, Boxters (etc) in it.. also after fitting an atmospheric dump valve to it instead of the standard recirc you got masive flames coming out of the exhaust throttling back and there was a sweet spot at just under 3k rpm where if you let off during normal driving you'd get a massive backfire like a gunshot... I used to love stalking the traffic wardens on Oxford Road in Manchester and laughing as they dived for cover... Still say that for what you pay on car+mods there's nothing to beat a Silvia...

Edit: How do I find out if it still exists?? You can see if it's taxed or scrapped by doing a DVLA vehicle enquiry.... www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/Hasn't been taxed for 9 years, not looking good dude..

Oooh, don't get me started on this. If I'd had the time/space/understanding family I don't think I'd have got rid of most of my past cars. But if you had to push me the one car that should still be with me is this: 1995 Camaro Z28 Auto- 40th birthday present, put over 20,000miles on this but got the urge for this(I cried-honest-after this car went ) 1997 Camaro Z28 6-speed manual, not as much fun as the auto and went a couple of years ago when the classic Toyota bug got me. As for cars I bought to do up but never got round to, I should have kept this 1987 Fiat X1/9 with full Eurosport body kit and wide wheels. Now as far as previous motorbikes go...............................................!!!
