My 1st Gen R53

 

I don't have just one favorite. I've always liked MINI's 1st and 2nd Gen S's.
But long before MINI's I loved the Omni GLH and the Ford Escort Cosworth edition.

I sure liked this one a lot.

I always admired the BMW Z3 but never owned one.

Yes it is in 1992. I was much younger & faster then. The older I get the faster I was.

Forgot to mention my 1992 Civic Si. A very fun hot hatch. Back then not as many pony's were available. We have it good now. HP & decent mileage.

 

My friend had one of these and it was a blast. Old Audi Quattro

 

Classic! ^

 

I love the Audri Quattro too, but it ain't a hatch back.

Darn Dave, how can this be? Two times in two days. :smilewinkgrin:

 

Renault 5 Turbo

 

So many fine hot hatches, so little time.

A little VW hot hatch history......

Always wanted a Lancia Delta HF Integrale, but could never afford the insurance rates in England. I had an '83 1.8 ltr Golf GTI that was well fettled; head work, cam, exhaust, Audi throttle body matched to the inlet manifold, lowered 1 1/2 inches, etc, and a Delta (white with the standard size Martini stripes) left me like I was parked at the curbside.

 

I love my R56 MCS, but I've also owned a VW GTi, and loved it, too. I rate my MINI as more fun, but my GTi had the build quality and refinement of a the Mercedes I owned before it.

The back opens ... in my book that's a hatch back. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

OK Dave my good deed for the day is to give you a pass on that. :cornut:
