    1. 911 (993 variant, not mine unfortunately but nearly sent the back end through a hedge going round a corner)

    2. Dolomite Sprint. One of my first cars and this I did successfully put through through a hedge. Luckily there was no brick wall behind the hedge so the car was ok bar a few scratches.

    3. Spitfire. Bought shortly after the Sprint. Hadn't learnt my lesson.

    Actually I seemed to remember something about the engine being French, is that right?

    Great car - what's it like to use on a day to day basis.

    Hasn't the 'range' been changed recently?
    It's great. People have complained that the ride is quite hard, but it's a sports car and tbh I find it very comfortable. Doesn't have a massive boot & it's only 2 seats apart from that I love it. The 2007 has a better interior and a few exterior changes such as a bonnet bulge to cope with the larger engine (not in cc, but in height). Mines an 03. The 08 comes out next year with a different engine which will be a 3.7l V6. Oh and as you can imagine it's no Prius when it comes to fuel efficency,
