I have never owned a domestic car, been partial to German and Swedish cars.
Past cars:
'72 Opel model 57 sport coupe (Manta)
'75 Opel model 51 sedan (Ascona)
'74 Opel Manta
'77 SAAB 99EMS
'71 Opel model 57 rallye (Manta)
'72 Volvo 144
'71 Volvo 142
'84 VW GTI
'88 VW Scirocco 16V
'91 VW GTI 16V
'92 VW Corrado VR6
Present cars:
'88 Porsche 911 Carrera
'71 SAAB 96 V4 (ground up restoration by me)
'95 BMW 318ti Sport (purchased new early '96) w/ M Technic body parts, '95 M3 double spoke wheels
I have to say the 318ti has been my favorite car, will never get rid of it. Other cars I have owned have had more power but don't come close to the balance of the ti. The ti reminds me alot of the Opel Manta's I have owned, rear wheel drive, light weight, and great handling. And the Opel ruled SCCA showroom stock (when this class was created) in the early 70's. I waited a long time to afford a BMW, and will always own at least one. |
