All,
Just curious as to if you have ever owned/driven your boyhood dream car.

I had two;

Mk2 VW Scirocco, I remember seeing them new, always wanting one. Never have come close to owning/driving.



Second - Volvo 850 T5R estate - From the good old days of BTCC. Never have owned one, but I have driven a V70 R at work - and I did love every minute.

Yes and no.



I owned a black Nova 1.4 SR and my GSi rep but never a white Nova 1.3 SR which is what I always wanted and I think if one came up for sale now I'd buy it before it was too late.

Yep, sort of.

My mk1 golf was a 'dream' car, as well as escort and sierra cosworths, both of which I've driven in various states of tune.

Still need to drive an RS2 though.

First car I can think of 'dreaming' about was a Marcos Mantis, as long as I can remembed now though it's been a Koenigsegg, these pale in comparison to a 1.3 Nova though.

Yes/no in a realistic way.

When I was 15 I saw an Mroadster on my way to school and thought 4exhausts was the tits. Owned one and loved every second of it. The other was same as Tom saw E46 M3s about thought they looked the bomb and never dreamed of being able to own one! But did and loved every second of it bar one day (second service) lol

Nit had an Escoss or an Esprit or F355 yet tho
