I’ve never owned a car anyone else thought cool.

I do, both of them !

[Six-cylinder]

I have had so many cars but tend to favour the unloved orphans.

Also the era makes cars Cool and unCool.
In 1982 when I first bought this it was cool, but now a falling value classic desired by many less people.

My head says its my Impreza. 

Its in great condition, its fast, reliable and doesnt look like I'm taking it to weigh it in but...

Its a wagon, its not blue and (on here anyway) its still pretty modern. Besides everyone on here has probably been subject to a pic of it at some point!

My heart says it was my green Mini. It was the 1st car I had to borrow money to buy, it was the 1st road car I modified, 1st car I almost lost my license in for speeding and I got banned from a girlfriends house cos there was a footmark inside the rear window! Spent 90% of my ownership fixing/rebuilding/modifying it but that 10% of driving it like a dick, firing flames out the exhaust, torque steering and jumping over mates lying in the road was 100% worth it!

Then again, that was before camera phones and the only known pic is at my folks house and I dont care enough to drive for an hour to get it!

 

 

 

 

 

So, heres a pic of that sodding Impreza again!

I wish I had a better picture.

'Cool' is a very personal thing, there are maybe half a dozen cars featured so far I'd consider cool, and quite a few that do absolutely nothing for me. 

Are old Jags cool? Was this old enough to be an 'old' Jag or was it just a fun banger when such things could be had for £500?

It's a hard one this. 

These cars were cool to me, I thought anyway.

Do have more that I could share. 

However the coolest* of them all for me is....

[Joey spud]

Didn't/don't you have a Xantia with the plate XAN71A ? That was/is super cool!

Yes, though I always felt that it would pass most people by as not many know what a Xantia Activa is, and the Xantia never really had the "look at me" factor of the likes of the XM.

Cracking car though and if it hadn't been for the spares situation starting to get tiresome for a daily driver I probably would still have it.

The Cappuccino was pretty cool too.

Stupid amounts of fun on the relatively quiet roads back up north too.

that's bloody fabulous 

[artdjones]

I think only one car could be classed as cool.

I had a 2300 Magnum identical to this back in the middle 80s :-

Unfortunately, part of the structure turned out to be made of corrugated cardboard. Never buy from a policeman. Very nice to drive, otherwise.

My Javelin

Loved smoking around in this old thing. It turned lots of heads everywhere I went

Although the man on the street would probably say the VW Type 2

[Hertz]

I owned this for a very short time a few years back. It was one of the DeLorean test mules at the factory in Belfast.
