Once common cars that you don't see anymore

[Coog]

Built for Americans by Americans were they not? We just happened to get a few here. Like the Accord Coupe.

The Cougar was such a potentially awesome car. IMO they where coping the 406 coupe idea.

They should have offered the St mondeo diesel in it also as the reps would have gobbled it up, I mean they had the normal 170ps v6 petrol engine in them, again gave it the st200 engine and some styling tweeks, and that would have been a brilliant winner in a time before RS Focus turbos being reborn.

Definitely should have had the 3 st220 engine!

Klde / klze would have been great too, amazing sounding engine with the right exhaust.



Up there with the busso

That front wheel placement in the arch is comical

There was a Cougar ST200 with 205bhp in UK, but personally I never saw one.

The Probe was basically a Mazda MX6.
Which reminds me, remember the MX3. They were quite popular and some had a 1.8 V6 engine. Smallest V6 I ever saw.

 

[Paul.]

Happy to be told otherwise but I believe the MX3 V6 is the smallest V6 ever fitted to a production car.

 

[Rover Repair]

Was the mx3 not the same v6 as the 323f also. A 2.0v6 about 140 brake?

No it was 1.8, but basically same as all the other Mazda V6, just smaller bore i think.

Proper ‘90s bombscare in work today. Sitting on its hole too like there was a bag of fertiliser in the boot. 1991, 165k. I love it.

Mint Audi 80 with OZ Saturn Plus’ in Castlewellan. Gutted I didn’t get a photo of it!

Also a Mk1 Ka- can’t remember the last time I saw 1.

Twingo Sport 133! I like them.

Subaru Vivio! Used to be a really mint one about Portadown. Bound to be basically extinct by now!

 

[Coog]

Thought it was a Perodua there for a moment.

 

[TheDaniel]

I love the wee Glanzas. It was what I dreamed of when I was a broke teen, driving around in my Starlet Sportif

 

[DreamTheater]

Saw an Xantia in Comber today, maybe some of the resident rmser’s know who owns it.

Dark green 1. It seems to get driven every day.

Opposite the graveyard? Near sure i see one sitting there at a house

MGF wheels too, still a nice yoke. I really wanted an estate in the mid 90s but found an MG Montego that was good enough and went for that. They handled really well and went ok too.

Where was that. Seen one of these, most likely same one in Antrim road the other week

That's a grey one, ends in BVV or similar, looks like a late Temptation.

I saw a red sportka yesterday, first time in years I had seen one. I vaguely recall the telegraph did some offer/competition for a sportka when they first came out. Cant say many would have survived.

There is or was a red street ka for sale outside Derry. There used to be a couple of kas knocked about up here but haven’t noticed them the last couple of years.

I sold up everything and bought a mk6 fiesta when I went to uni when I was 26 there was a performance blue sport ka sitting for the same price I always kind of wish I’d bought it instead.
