After you crash in one while chasing your own stolen car, you like it less... I still like them

It's actually a damn good car, very fast for its day (even though today an RS Focus should be able to beat it in a straight line).

Watching that Top Gear episode actually supported my view that I was a bit weird!

But looking at that pic MidEngine4Life....how can you not like that?!

Looks even better with (photoshopped) BBS wheels
