Thanks mate, that swift was fun (and quicker than the Astra GSi)

[ScoobyAndy]

The new swift gti comes out early next year too

Wonder how good it'll be?

[gus the bus]

I'd like a look at that Andy! I like the lookof the standard ones! Might be a wee replacement for the Saxo. Then again thats less to spend on the Scooby

[ScoobyAndy]

Thats what i was thinking too.

If its anywhere near as quick as the ignis n handles as well it'll be a good car

golf 1.3 gls boring but solid.

suzuki swift 1.3 gti....fantastic little motor running about 130bhp, very quick and one of my faves.

civic coupe....boring, boring and dull.

now.................wrx jdm95.............will hopefully keep this one for a few years yet, then when the antiques roadshow comes round see what its worth!

who knows?

[dan_jess]

Adfer - that integrale looks amazing!

[4Hero]

aggree DanTerzo, I have always admired the Integrale, but they are pretty hard to find..

I chopped one recently for fun:

[alan_ferguson]

The Integrale was a very pretty car and the last ones were quite well built. Didn't quite go as well as it looked and the left hand drive was always a pain in the a**, particularly for my passengers who didn't like sitting in the middle of the road!

[frank c]

Alan, that's SOME list mate........ I still love the 22B though

I pass it all the time , never see you though.....

Frank.

[gus the bus]

alan F,

do you own a garage (in Armadale!!!????) The only person I know who has a list of High Performance cars like that is the owner of Armadale Motors

I thought my list was long (well it is!) but not with the type of cars you've had

I love the Integrale one of my all time favourites apart from the Scooby obviously

Very impressive mate!

Gus

[alan_ferguson]

Gus,

I don't own the garage in Armadale - Top Gear Cars, but I know the owner Carlo very well. Carlo is a bit of a Lambo nut, and I've bought a few cars from him and sourced by him. His ex F1 mechanic has an Impreza turbo and has done some of the servicing on my 22b.

BTW - Top Gear Cars no longer operate from Armadale. They have moved to the owner's house at Stoneyburn, Bents.
