Alfa Romeo 1.3 GT Spyder, the rarer "boat tail" model I had in Saudi around 1980;

I toyed with the idea of bringing it home, but somehow never got round to it.

Cheers.

90s cars backwards  were so cool they were drivers cars that could be worked on by yourself at home or the side of the road modern day cars are poo to work on plastic everywhere censers for everything I hate working on modern stuff 

I have a 2002 Toyota Yaris tsport . Don't look the best but there fun to drive .. they have a bit of a following like the older cars do .

Just look a bit weird driving one at near 40yrs old

Yes dan, had a bit of a mid life crisis,thought it would be a poor mans escort but never could get it to handle like the escorts,plenty of grunt though
