Interesting to see people's affinity to certain marques of car plus the few more diverse and more exotic models.

A great car Tony for sure was the four wheel drive turbo celica,I had the privilege off hearing them on wrc a while back,but my mate had mk1 supra 2.8 which I adored, they were quite popular at the time in Australia , and people import rust free examples now over here,which I've tempted to buy a few times,but in all honesty I'm happy with what I've got for now,iff I was to jump ship ,it would be in a early z4.

I have really bonded with my 2003 Z4 Jimmy, although I do love the Z3 especially individual coloured ones like yours and Stevo's pair (and Sean's Protronic Blue
). As an everyday use I really don't think I could live with a Z3 and until such time as I can afford 2 cars (or more
) I'm very happy with my Z4.Tony.
I remember seeing one of those when it got delivered to Hallens Toyota in Cambridge, I was totally blown away, what an awesome car in it's day.
I last heard one of those used in anger at Clumber Park Notts. Back in the day when the RAC rally still did cover a fair bit of the UK. Along with Audi Quattro etc.
Tony.
Nice pics Tim.

I knock around with a few z3 friends who very rarely come on here ,and they refer to z4 as the dark side,I find that quite insulting ,even though I don't own one, but I have driven a few and I'm quite keen on them,plus there looks,I've had me hands stuck under the z3 manifold this weekend ,replacing the cvv tubes,(bi***)icv out ,throttle body out etc,the z4 gives you much room to work on compared to the z3, but I'm still more than happy with the z3.

That's a fair comment mate. Considering the age difference between ours cars (4-5 years?) they are very different animals.
Tony.
The Toyota Supra 2.8 Mk1 was nice, mine was dark blue @Jimmy Weston, but I preferred the Mk2 which was essentially the same,but had wider wheels and arches plus a few other styling bits. I think it looked better and I was more confident with the grip, except in the wet. They were both a bit tail happy!
OK, here goes in date owned order:

Oh wow - time to get embarrassed then. In order of oldest to now ...
Ford Escort Mk1 1.1 (terrible car)
Ford Escort Mk1 1300E (in the mighty metallic purple)
Morris 1800 (like a maxi but worse)
Fiesta 1300S (nice stripes)
Vauxhall Cavalier mk2 (baby poo brown interior - nice )
Ford Escort mk3 1.6 ghia (rather liked that one)
Peugeot 505 estate just like this. https://goo.gl/images/vF1ywW I called it the Tunisian taxi (bit racist so forgive me I was young)
Toyota Previa Mk1
Volvo S70 2.5T (a fast funeral directors car I called Cyril H)
Toyota Avensis estate (2nd gen)
Ford S-Max 2.3 ghia
VW Touran 1.4 TSi (not a dodgy diesel) - my current daily drive
BMW Z3 2.2 (although it may change body profile very soon)
All in all a sorry list.
My fave car is the purple Escort as it was a bit of fun. Best, most practical and bullet-proof, was the previa. Having four kids from an early age has definitelily influenced my choices. But now ...
