    What other cars do we own or want to own!?

    Just thought it would be interesting to read what other cars you guys own/moved on to/have considered.

    I've had various Swedes such as a Volvo T5 and a Saab Turbo X inbetween VR4 ownership and I've now gone full circle and back to a V6 Sport, which was my first car.

    I've toyed with idea of several cars such as a Mondeo ST220, Jag X-type, Legacy, Mazda 6 MPS, Alfa 159, Lancer Ralliart amongst others. What about you lot?

    Started with a V6 Sport, considered a lancer ralliart too (put off by timing chain issues and the gearbox woes some report), A 95 Aero, T5 volvo, some sort of Audi, Mazda 6 or refurbishing my V6...

    Ahh interesting, very similar choices then in most respects. It does seem to be the case that people who like a certain style of car tend to agree with eachother about other car's styling.

    I like most of the above mentioned. I prefer estates though, for added practicality and stealth so the lancer would not make it on to my list.

    I've always been a fan of MR2s and have owned 11 in my time ranging from MK2 Turbos, MK1s, a mk3, 2x mk1s with mk2 turbo engines (so much fun).

    the mk2 Turbo I had at the time was a Tbar with a rather nasty leak. I was driving it through the winter and scraping the ice from the inside of the glass, for it to then fall on my seat wasn't at all pleasant so I convinced the wife that I needed something sensible for the winter. I mentioned a 4wd estate car and she agreed that we could go and look at one. I've now stripped the fleet down to just the Legnum, the wifes QashQow and a 1.4 TD fiesta which is used when the Legnum is off the road.

    Definitely a fan of MR2's. Looked at them before, but always put off by the vast amount and different models there seemed to be for sale, so gave up trying to pick one haha. Always liked the look of the Honda S2000 too.

    Estates are great for that sleeper status, that's for sure. Nissan Stagea perhaps? The more modern 3.0 Legacy estates look good too.

    I'm with Nick on the stealth side of things with estates.

    Having had two Legnums, a Stagea, a V70R, the most fun was probably the MR2. Bog standard 2.0 petrol, in the most poverty spec of them all, but it was just fun!

    I do keep looking at cars and always look at MR2s, R32s and S13/14/15s.

    2009 Ford Mondeo : 2.2TDCi, 4 wheels, some plastics, some metal and some seats

    After my third Galant VR4 I switched to a Lexus ISF. Then went from that to a modified Evo X with 480 odd bhp. Replaced that with a Alfa 4C spider (lease) but last November I replaced that with...
