It doesn't really matter if it counts or not, it was just a general question about what cars others own apart from Bimmer. I should have started the question, "What other brands of cars do you/have you owned" I have watched ELVA's videos on Choo choob and must admit that I have developed quite an admiration for you motor racing guys - plugging away at incredible speeds for lap after lap looks so demanding and physicaly exhausting, I don't think I could EVER do that!

I haven't ever been out of Australia, too scared of Terrorism and flying in planes. I think it was the MK 1 yes, It had rounded corners so I think the very earliest Cortina, Damn I miss it - I wrote it off after only six months on my probationary licence as most stupid 18 year olds do!!
My daily driver is my '99 M3 (original owner). It was once my Auto-X and occasional track car. I also have a Lotus Exige (original owner) which is 99% track and used to also Auto-X by both my wife and I. There is no physical reason why I hardly drive the Exige on the street... It is just once you drive it at the limit at the track, pooping around on the street is boring and not worth the trouble as you attempt to avoid picture takers and anything on the street >115mm high. ... at least if you are trying to actually get somewhere to get something done. Cruising is fun of course.
See my sig for more info than you probably wanted to know about them (and some vids).

I watched a good chunk of that video. Looks like the Exige is pretty quick to swap ends (all of them)! Pretty different than the Cortina. A lot faster though, too! I still really want to try an Elise/Exige someday

I currently drive a 2000 540iT. Have had several other BMWs over the years. Also have an '06 Elise. All are great fun to drive. The Elise just more fun in a simpler way.
Elva and 111geek, you must track if you get a chance. That is where the 111 cars REALLY shine.
