my current love maxine...4/01 1.6L mazda mx5...such a looker & such an joyous occasion EVERY time i step into her - wind in my hair, instant throttle response, precise steering feedback, shiokness of riding around in a "impractical" car...wonderful...nothing much done so far 'cept rims, style bar, cold air intake, a strut bar & coilover suspension :P planning to keep her till 2011 & i might then just decide to renew the COE & plonk in the mazdaspeed 1.8 turbo plus the corresponding 6SP gearbox and LSD *dreaming*
ah...bella...my renault clio 1.4L from dec 2001...after the thirsty impreza, decided to go for refinement, power and chicness all in this nice little package...she was a heck of a little killer...i blew my wad on her (sounds really kinky hor?), in all slightly more than 10 grand (siao!!!)...engine worked over, exhaust system, suspension, bodykit, rims...yeeeesh...drove superbly, was fuel efficient...only minor problem was a slight lack of leg and head space for the rear passengers....but who's going in the back? :)) and yes this IS her...my one and only one NEW purchase vehicle...
next was a 1994 subaru impreza 1.6L bought end '95...this was the one that intro'd me to the joys of the flat 4 boxer a la porsche 911 (albeit mounted upfront)...sounded fantastic when pushed...went thru a number of horns and driveshafts though and a bit thirsty overall...still, it handled really well (rally tech filtering down from the WRC rex)..once again, car pictured is not actual one...mine was red :D
my very first car...a white mazda astina 323 1.6L bought in 1992, courtesy of the old man (thanks, dad! :D)...previous owner was a doctor hence it was in rather good running order...came with a digital dash which apparently was only produced for that model year....rather cool chickens but under harsh sunlight, couldn't see shit...nice little runabout with a touch of class...tractable engine altho at hi revs, could be a bit drony...note, car pictured is not the actual one...
