One of the most curious list of cars I think I've ever seen grouped together :lol:

Obviously the Sierra, Golf GTI, Renault 5 I can understand, but a Honda Accord? A Peugeot 406? Two different versions of it no less! Who ever really wanted one of those?? :lol:

My dad's a Yorkshireman, so all of those cars he probably had nightmares about :lol: he never had anything with an engine over 1.3l until three years ago.
I'm the one who leaves all those shoes in the carriageway.
