Alfa 156 2.5 V6, nice car, bought it 2 months after passing my test, still have to this day. Stunning car to drive. Very sexy noise gunning through all the gears.

Put it into a ditch a week after I got it... £1000... oops.

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris pass-out at 31 Flavours last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Very Proud to say my first car was a three year old BMW 328i sport, loved that car and missed it from the day it left me. Here's a pic.

Then bought a VW golf V6 4motion, then a clio 172 exclusive special edition, (car number 003 of only 172), last car was an Impreza RB5 (no 107 of 444) and now getting an E46 M3. Back to the beemers at last!
