Current Car = Vauxhall Meriva, it is awful!
Dream Car = 49 Mercury with a big block and a roof chop

My first ever rally I went to was the 86 RAC. I caught the train to Yorkshire from London, and was picked up by my psychopathic friends in a 240 Volvo which took off at 100 mph towards the forest. We walked about 5 miles in the dark to a stage that was supposed to be closed to spectators. About a 1000 other people had not got the message either.
The Sky lit up about 2 miles away from the leaders spotlights and the exhaust backfires sounded like an artillery battle. Then the cars started coming past and it was spectacular. A Lancia went into the ditch right in front of me, flipped on it's roof, and the brakes set the grass on fire. I was expecting someone to call the fire brigade, but instead everyone ran out of the woods, set the car on it's wheels, and it took off with a roar.
It was just brilliant, and I am so lucky to have seen those beasts before they got banned.
