Yes, I loved the way you could leave a roundabout in a different direction to how you entered it 
Part of this may be the overconfidence of youth and cheap tyres on the back too  |

I've not had anywhere near the amount of cars I've drooled over yet never had.
One or two of mine I wish I still had as they've become collectable and gone up in value too.
1, fiesta Mk1 1.1
2, fiesta mk1 1.1
3, corolla gt ae82
4, renault 19 16v phase 1
5, cavalier Sri
6, mondeo st24
7, Subaru Legacy Gt wagon
8, Subaru Legacy GtB wagon
9, mondeo st Tdci
10 BMW 335d coupes
The corolla and Renault also had big ICE systems in them as well and both worth more than the car was.

Yeah, mine was an earlier model and the letter ones were better, but I should have polished it up and kept it  |
