1) Airbagged pea-green 70s Lotus Elite, can't decide what wheels though ;D 2) Old-skool Mk1 Golf (this is a permanent obsession - I've had it for a couple of years now), an 1100 or diesel or something else equally cheap to run, and finding this pic last week hasn't helped: 3) German "Bundeswehr" Mk2 Golfs: I see muchos slammage, and a nice set of black Compomotive MOs ;D

Lets see, I have an ongoing and totally unrealistic (on account of being skint and in the wrong part of the world) obsession with Volga M21s, Imps (but you knew that! ;D) And just about every Soviet and/or rear engined car ever made! ;D ;D ;D ;D But then most of you knew that too! ;D ;D ;D

My current obsessions are: Mk2 Golfs - want want as a 2nd car to replace my Hyundai (a.k.a. The Donkey ) Getting the damned Merc finished!!! Speed cameras, methods to be a general pain in the ar$e for the government / traffic Nazis / Big Brother, and encouraging as many people to take their speeding ticket to court rather than pay the fine. If enough people did it, the system would be proper fooked! ;D

(getting fed up of my shiny cars getting damaged )

For me - always be the Imps....
But Mk1 Golfs - my wife's car is so cool & quick. That was the best £175 I ever spent. Since buying that I want one myself... or a Mk1 Scirocco or a SLAMMED early Passat (chrome bumper one) with an Audi 5-pot under the front.... ;D But currently searching around for a good cheap replacement for the Mk5 Scrote - cos its curse word, in case you need any qualification to that - and a Golf is top of my list of replacements. I'd even think about a 3-door Mk2 GTi.
Audi 80 Sport is high on my wish list too - has to be the square-rigged one from the 1980s. Cool as. Nearly bought one before Xmas... wish I had now.
Commer Camper Vans - don't ask me why but I think they are so quintessentially English and cutesy-pie. They just scream "Carry-On Camping" to me. Bung a Holbay head and twin 40s on the engine to give it a bit more wooo-hooo
I too am having desirous thoughts of Skodas with soppy engines but I'd probably stick to tuning the nuts off the standard lump. Cool.
Finally - big ol' Volvo 164 estates. Whopping great three-litre straight six, leather seats, all the toys and looks great. Then slam the thing with some period alloys (hmmm, Minilites? or Cosmics?). ;D
Ebay dreaming - wonderful isn't it? ;D

1964 Hillman Imp 1976 Hillman Imp 1967 Hillman Imp (And a few projects dotted around the country)
Just cos something is good for you doesn't mean its good for everyone - for example Marmite does not make good Dog Food.

... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down and that's not really the car's fault.
