"Fiat X19 (though like many italian cars - the electrics were more fucked than a cumslut at a gangbang)"
I used to drool over my Uncle's X19!!
for some reason I thought it was the coolest sexiest car ever built - better than any ferarri, lambo or porsche - ok I was 8 years old, but then again, ferarris etc are made to appeal to the 8 year old boy in us - so fiat must have done something right.
I saw one in a garage very recently - fully restored and absolutely mint - I'll confess it still looked pretty tasty to me. |

I had a red 1969 Fiat Viganale Samantha many years ago. LMA 93G was it's reg
It was based on Fiat 124 (or 126, I'm not sure) running gear but it was styled from a Ferrari Dino and had it I recall a 1.8 twin overhead cam engine, and boy could it go .....
Cracking car, but totally rotton bodywork and piss poor electrics - the horn would start to sound at random intervals and the electric windows would stick, open or closed there was no predicting how it would happen and sometimes the popup headlamps wouldn't pop up so the headlamps would shine up to the sky instead of in front of you. It was also a good idea to drive in wellingtons if you went out in the rain because the footwells did get quite waterlogged at times
It was one of 25 ever imported into the UK, so I was told. Cost me 500 quid, just a shame it was falling apart. Really needed some serious restoration done to it |

Used to w*rk for a Fiat agents when the X19s were sold. My memory if of having to order decal sets for around every second one that went through the dealership because the decals had to be destroyed when they came back for resprays to correct paint faults under warranty. Never drove one but I`m told they handled like a go-kart! |

Wish I had my old Austin A40 as a little weekend car, last car I owned (sold in 1994) where I understand everything about how it worked.
Parts were still available in the 1990's as so many engine bits were common to other 1100 Austin models. |

I'd tried to get pregnant for ages and had accepted it wouldn't happen
Bought a brand new mini - british racing green, convertible, every possible 'extra'
It wasn't the most expensive car I'd ever owned but I loved her and people stopped me in car parks to look at her (before the new minis became very popular)
Was pregnant within 3 months
Sadly the only way to put the baby in the car seat was to take the roof down and put it up so eventually one of them had to go!!!
God I miss that baby !!!
Only joking. The car went and the baby remains an utter joy !!!!

.did try and find out what happened to it with a view to buying it back but its been untaxed since 1994 so probably scrap.
