What car do you drive and why did you choose it

[Norm75]

I had both 2.8 and 2.9, much preferred the 2.8 and it was in Moonstone blue. Loved the car.

Cool, moonstone blue must have been quite a rare colour on the 2.8, or was it an early MK2?

Mine was an early pre LSD mk1 in nimbus grey with rs turbo doglegs on it. Was looking for either a 309GTI or Renault 11turbo but a mate offered it to me for good money, and he had an xr3 at the time that he turbo'd and was a Cossie eater, so I knew it would go well.

Being a non LSD model, I used to be able to perform donuts on the spot (in a private field) no larger circumference than the length of the car. Even used to go through the gears, up to 3rd gear with the speedo reading 90mph
Mate of mine had an identical car, but slightly later with LSD. He could never make his do it, would just pull round in a large arc. Loved that car too.
