I had a 6.6 litre 1977 Pontiac Trans Am, from 1990 to 2001. Same as Smokey and the Bandit but mine was white, not exactly exotic but very different and I don't half regret selling it now.

Not exotic but my OH loves it.

1996 Nissan Skyline GTS-T 2.5L

Not to be confoozled with the GTR which is 4 wheel drive, the GTS-T is rear wheel drive which the OH tells me is so much fun to drive in the snow :rotfl:


Always knew he was barking!!!!

1969 Boat Tailed Spider Think "The graduate" I thought I was the bees knees until I met my Mrs Robinson, who was a tree hugging lentil knitting freak who insisted I trade it in for a Non Turbo Diesel Mondeo estate.

What was I thinking? I know it was an unreliable rust bucket, but it put a smile on my face every time I drove it.

In my teenage years had (not exotic) a few different vehicles!

Lincoln Continental in white with blue lambswool upholstry. No I wasn't a pimp, back then, either!! Not unlike this one, it's not mine, though!!


My Chevrolt Impala 1964, never did this http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc0DL3vuvb0

More up to date, in mid 90's, I bought a Jaguar Sovereign. Not very rare, or exotic.

But this was from 1989, one of the very first, of the 'new' model XJ. There was a waiting list for these, initailly & it had every extra, including sunshine roof - an option back then, BUT..... at just 1920 miles, it had the engine virtually rebuilt, with a Janspeed twin turbo conversion carried out, costing just under £10000!!

The car itself was around £40000, new.

& just to prove how our banking industry, wastes their money, isn't a new idea - the first owner was the headhunting division, of Barclays. The second owner, a director of same organization!!

Wonder just how much he actually paid them for it!!

& yes it was quick - verrrrrrrry quick!!

1988 E Reg Volvo 480 ES from new - very similar to the photos HERE [scroll down to bottom of page]. Very smart motor to drive and the first I had with trip computer and electric radio aerial. Very poosh!

Let Mrs W have it after about 3 yrs when I needed a bit more economy travelling 30K+ miles a year with work and went for a totally mundane Citroen ZX Diesel. She P/X'd it in the mid-90's for a Ford KA.

One interesting quirk. In cold weather you had to de-ice the headlights to get them to pop-up!!

Oh dear. Most exotic - Mini Cooper, or a Beetle Convertible. Both now sadly sold. Hardly exotic though. But if you'd asked for a list of the most boring cars, that would be quite long.......

What a sad life I must lead..

Not me, but my dad had a lotus carlton. Mid life crisis I guess! Now potters about in a renault megane scenic. Sad times.
