I'm hankering after a car or two. I fancy selling the vauxhall and getting one newish car and an old car or two to play with. I'm fancying something off this list, which keeps growing.
Triumph Dolomite Nissan 200sx Range Rover />Subura Forrester Lancia Fulvia Phil Mitchel era Jag BMW E30 BMW E28 Pick up trucks
Anyone had any of these? Anything I should add to the list?

Had a Forester Turbo for 3 years. Clutch could be dicky, had mine replaced twice under warranty. Otherwise deceptively fast and very very reliable like all Soobies.

Yes I know what you mean, but I have a convertible and am drawn to the dolomite. I can't explain why. I also like the old Rovers like the gaffer had.

lacking in seats I need idealy 5 but a chap needs his own personal time. I'm also drawn to old datsuns and nissans.

/> My old man had a WRX Forester, it went like the flippin bollox - he would never let me borrow it (and rightly so) but one day he lent it to a mate, who subsequently pounded it into a fence and wrote it off.  I'd like the MG ZT 260 - 260BHP V8 (?) Mustang engine - and they do an estate version. Im half tempted to import one.
