I've decided, the CX is just too big for me and there is not another car that leaps at me but as I have to choose one it will be the Mk1 Capri:

The VW Corrado for me. I believe it was a very under-rated car (following on from the Sirocco, which a lot of people liked), and that spec makes it a bit of a fun car.

There aren't any decent classic catalogues at the moment so here's a 'normal used car auction' to keep the game going. I have yet to decide on which one I would accept!! :-D

Well, the only one I might be tempted by is 2751, the car transporter Mercedes Sprinter. That way I can earn a bit of money delivering the forum members their choices of vehicles!

I have now completed a more thorough browse and the only one that I can, let alone would, consider is:

My reasons? I am not allowed diesel, see my daughter, I need 'no clutch', see my history of ankle injury, and one thing going for it is the colour!! :-D

The little Transit Connect looks like the sort of motor I would have bought, looks a useful vehicle that needs a bit of fettling............................but I'm past all that. :)

After looking through that lot, I don't have any first choices :?
I'd possibly go for one of the Volvo estates, but there's nothing there the makes me think - 'Oh yes, I'd like one of those'
I'm a bit dubious as to why all the number plates are blanked out as well 8-[

I guess they blank out the number plates to avoid the cloners.

One of these was my introduction to the Skoda brand,,,,,a real nightmare.

We're going to have to share that one, Mick, as that appeals to me as well :-D It's the most interesting car of the bunch for me.
