It sure was mate, so surely they could only improve on it

I have a soft spot for the Reliant Scimitar. Have had a SE5a and SE6a in years gone by. Last one was 20 years ago, so may now be a total disappointment. Perhaps somethings are best left in the past!
Had a 5.3 V12 XJS Paul. It was an absolute crock of.........
That 2002 looks 
An old mate of mine used to have an MBG roadster and a Jensen Healey roadster, cars that I lusted over when I was a yoof. I wouldn't swap either of my zeds for either of those cars now.
Dreams are just that reality never matches up, sure their are many Ferrari owners out there thinking what have i bought!
That's very true mate. Was never a dream to own one just sort of happened. Great to drive as a cruiser but full of problems.
I had a few Jags, mainly XJ6's. My favourite was a XJR 4.0 supercharged. Just a stunning car, I loved that car, Jue always said she felt like a princess in it.

I always fancied one of these old Rovers
My father bought a one owner P5 Rover when we were kids from a rich lady. Only thing wrong with it was a scratch on the windscreen where her diamond rings had rubbed against it, so the story goes! Seem to recall it did 15 mpg on a good day.
How about a new Ford Probe

Shirl's dad had two of these, a blue F reg. and a maroon L reg. (I think) which had a cream leather interior. He bought this as a write off which had been rolled several times at only a few months old. Reg repaired that car and when I saw the pictures of the condition it was in I would never have thought it possible.
However, in early 1980 when we got wed this was to have been our wedding car but it wanted the sills repainting but Reg being Reg he decided he would fit new sill panels and ended up burning the car and his business to the ground a few days before the wedding. A terrible end to a great car.

Argghh the bank managers car of it's day. They did it in a 3dr coupe as well.
Such a shame when you see that beautiful car and look at the shower of s*** they ended up building. No wonder they went pop.
