Your previous cars...

[AMS1969]

The Sierra really was controversial, I loved the look as it looked futuristic but the neighbours (who had a late model cortina) weren’t so impressed. I can’t think of a recent new car that caused a similar stir or such strong options? Maybe the Puma to a lesser degree?

I think the Focus caused a similar stir as it replaced the Escort. I really liked the MK1 Focus and I owned one for about 8 years.

I had the following:

Abarth 500 Esseesse
Abarth 595 Competizione
Volkswagen Golf 7 GTD
Fiesta ST MK8
Puma ST

I did a list quite a few years ago on another car forum as I’ve always been a petrolhead. I thought I was getting on a bit but some of the cars listed are well before my time or even my dad’s time

I’ll never remember all the cars so I’ll list some of the more interesting ones going back about 25 years. Prior to that it was mainly Fords including about 3 Orion Injection Ghia’s, an XR3i, Granada Scorpio 2.9i and Sapphire 2.0i Ghia 4x4.

There’s been a lot of cars prior to this and a fair few in between and some I’ve probably forgotten but mostly more regular models. My first car was a Mini Clubman which I loved and had the usual boy racer type stuff and I passed my test in. My second was a Fiat 127 1300GT which was a lot more modern than the Mini and thought was really fast at the time when I was 17

Thought I would repost this seeing as it's 3 years old.

[Sparks]

Some older members that we don't see now in this thread. I wonder what they are now driving...

[Ron240]

Thought I would repost this seeing as it's 3 years old.

Is it the same as what it was 3 years ago?

No, my current Puma is not on the list. Trying to drum up conversation as to what other members have been driving. As Sparks says, a lot of the original posters have moved on.

Yes thats fair enough, and trying to drum up conversation is a good thing.
I was just initially confused about reposting something from 3 years ago with no stated reason other than its age, thats all.

Regarding your list are the cars in order of your ownership?
I ask because there is a step back of a few years from Sierra to Datsun 120Y then both Celicas.
