Yeah but corsas (up here at least) all seem to be driven by complete ****s, who all think they are the stig, flip you off for obeying the rules of the road, etc puts me clean off them.. The corsa D is a good drive, but as said it's ****s who give them such a bad name..astras look better anyway haha, may seek a nice mk4 astra van next year and get the gsi kit for it as they can look pretty smart while being economical and very practical.

For every chav that drives a Corsa badly, there's a normal person driving 1 properly, lol! ;)

Like I say, I love small cars, so I'm not bothered about a flashy badge or going fast. I was 15 when the Grande Punto was launched, and at the time, I was unsure if I would be able to drive due to medical reasons, plus my parents had just traded a crap green escort in for a bright orange Punto mk2, which I was taking rather a liking to, then I get my monthly issue of Top Gear, featuring the 1st drive of this bloody amazingly fantastic looking new Fiat, and well, I was hooked: I instantly thought to meself that if I was able to have a car, then 1 day, I wanted (very badly!) a Grande Punto.

Fast forward to 2014, and after having owned the other car I wanted, (a mk2 Punto) I realised that dream, and bought a Grande Punto. Add into the mix the fact that I'd accidentally managed to get my hands on a fairly rare model, and now you see why I'm so attached to my car.

well at least you can drive :) its a great way to relax if you get some quiet roads :) (don't mean speeding just mean enjoying the road without ****s tailgaiting or doing 40mph)

and fair enough haha Ive always wanted an Impreza, I love the burble from the boxer engines...but when the Blobeye shape was released in 2003 i couldn't get over how perfect it was :) wanted one since then..thankfully I've finally got one. though just don't want to rack up the mileage on it... none of my other cars were high on my list of wanted cars, although all have been a good experience. And haha so we both own rare cars? :p (mines being 1 of 300 made...although Subaru never numbered the WRX300) glad you found the car for you, must have been great finally getting it :) and more so when you realised its a rare model haha.

Btw incase you ever wonder my unrealistic dream car is a Lamborghini Diablo SV black with the SV done in green or red.

1 of the reasons I love small cars is that they're legal fun, lol!
My Grande isn't quite as rare as that, lol! It's a 1.4 8v Eleganza, and according to howmanyleft, there's just 1700 of them on the UK roads, and I'm lucky enough to own 1. :)

My unrealistic cars I'd own include a Dino 246 GT, and a DB9, purely because they're so incredibly beautiful. They're more pieces of art than cars if that makes sense, lol?

1700 isn't bad haha. if i ever get rid of the Impreza id get a Calibra 4x4 turbo there arent too many of them left on the road, think its less than 200..maybe less than 100..but they are lovely looking machines..

and yeah true..haha i just like being pushed into the back of my chair..so love fast cars.

and ah nice choices. I've seen a Dino, they are beautiful cars, wouldn't mind a shot of one. and Aston Martins are nice, scream quality haha. lovely sound from their exhaust too. and I get what you mean. as far as cars go though they are remarkable machines too.. not the fastest in their classes but look great and look like a laugh to drive.

Truth be told, I think in the last few years, Ferraris have become almost german: the sheer beauty and passion has gone from the designs, in order to try and make them ever ridiculously faster. For me personally, Italian cars aren't about pure speed and power, they're about the little details that let you know they're designed by people who don't just see them as mere machines, but manage to inject personality into them: even tiny runarounds are given character.

well Lamborghini's were built for speed and style...to be over the top haha :)

but yeah Ferrari are becoming less stylish and more functional..i do like the 458 though..Lamborghini seem to be trying to keep the styling thankfully :) (though if i had the money i definitely wouldn't be buying an Aventador) seems the way of things now.. Germans did do something right, made my favorite estate :) early 00's RS6 Avant..
