RS2000 mk2.

I got a bit older and then bought one. Lurvely. Had to sell as rust ate the important bits of the chassis... Obviously wish I hadn't on account of appreciation etc.

Also
RS200, RS500, and RS turbo.

Yes, all Fords.

They stopped making the Miura the year i was born and started production on the countach the year after ( which along with the Quattro were the two i loved in my youth) but it is now one of my all time favourite cars along with the Alpine A110.

When I was around 9 I really wanted a 911 or a 308 from Nige's garage up the road; when I was older (16?) I thought a 959 would be fine for everyday use, with a Jalpa for sunny days and weekend usage.

Still wound't mind a Jalpa.

Actually I can't post a picture of it because I'm rubbish, but I used to be mad on the De Thomaso Pantera.
Just googled it and it still looks ace.

If we're going back to youth, then I really can't think of a car that I really lusted over.. I still have a thing for these..

But I was more into motocross bikes.. in Florida there were miles upon miles of open spaces, if you didn't have a pickup you had a motocross bike, or both .. I did briefly have a YZ100..

But my posters were of motocross bikes and boats.. (not posting boats because thats just, like, dull yeah) but I do remember old US MX stars .. Roger DeCosta being just one I remember..

I follow a guy on Instagram who was riding back in the day and he's always updating his Gram with 1970-1980's era MX bikes..

I still have one.. In fact I just realised at no point have I been without one since 1999. They were so cheap then.
