I have a 20vt Porto at the moment but I hope to have owned a Vinci LE as well as a yellow Plus at some point.

I always go on about lusting after Vinci Greys but I reckon my Porto will always have a special place in my heart. laugh But then again, maybe Vinci Greys are a bit extra special? laugh

I've owned 4, 2 speed red 16vts, a sprint blue 20vt and now a blitz blue 16vt.

I'm torn between my Sprinty and the current one but I think the real love goes out to my latest 16vt smile

I've had 3.

First was a Sprinty R reg 20VT

Second was a Banana T reg 20VT

Third was a Red T reg 20VT

The last one was without doubt the best of them all.

I've had 2, both Sprint Blue 20VT. One had tan leather and the one I have now, which is probably the best, has black leather.

I've had 3 altogether, a standard silver 20vt, standard green 20vt, and a highly modified 20vt plus. The latter was the better car in all respects, but the first one will always be remembered the most fondly simply because of the magic feeling when I bought my first ever 'special' car.

My second coop, the sprinty, will probably be the favourite. I was 22 and I'd never owned something that fast or good looking! Don't get me wrong, I'm loving silver coop, but I've been there before with the sprinty, and it's always better the first time.

Just the one 20VT Sprinty - had it since April 2005, still going smile

Likely to be selling in the next 12 months though; I'm losing the love for Sprinty and being 'advised' by SWMBO that a practical car should be the next purchase rolleyes

I've been fighting it but I'm now feeling I should pass on the torch to someone who will love her as much as I did when i first got her..

2,

Steel Grey 16VT
Porto 20VT

Think I enjoyed the 16VT more, as it was my first propper fast car, but think I Like the Porto more than the 16VT, possibly because as yet I havn't completely blown it up!

Just the two:

Speed red 20v n/a
Sprint blue 20vt

The sprinty was great, but I'll always prefer the n/a, so smooth and sounded so good - my first 'real' car. Wonder where T679XAN is now?

I'm on my third coop

1st - Broom Yella 16v Na with black leather

2nd - Speed Red 20v na with cloth (later fitted black leathers)

3rd and current coop - Ink black 20v turbo, tan leathers

My broomie was the most 'special' coupe i've had as the colour was such a head turner and no matter what day you were having sitting in it with the bright yellow strip and snarl of the 4 cylinger engine cheered you right up smile


Overall favourite is definitely my ink black 20v turbo as when polished up the colour is stunning and the tan interior is a class act.


I'll be back smile

I've had the same 20VT since new 1998 so this is my best one. I have a sneaky feeling that when i've finished running in the new engine had the new exhaust fitted and allowed Flea to work his magic that it will be by far even better than it has ever been.

Past  I had a P reg 20vt Porto, black leather which was only a few months old when I bought it. 
Present  I now have a P reg 20vt Ink Black, black leather.
Porto was new and shiney, everything working etc etc loved it. 
Ink Black old and jaded with a long list of 'to do's'. Despite that, I think I am enjoying this one more!

I had 3.

1) 16V 1995 - absolutely unbreakable. Still runing under the next owner with over 300k km without rebuild!
2) 20VT LE speed red - turned into 2,5 + Q4 - my baby )
3) 20V VIS ink black with burgundi red, extremely fresh car, no oil consumption at all (on Selenia 20K), pretty fast for a n/a )))

I've had 2

1) 16v blitz blue 16v na - now run by my son
2) Broomy 20v Vis

The 16v is in much better condition that the 20v which is still very much work in progress..but it's showing promise and nothing a couple of grand won't sort laugh

on that basis, it's the 16v as a favourite but ask me again in 6 months and.... confused
