Once common cars that you don't see anymore

[FM155]

Aye, I knew the car jump was on today, I live pretty close to it. That wee starlet could have done someone as an autotest car, bit of a waste but that's what that place is all about.

Was sat behind a mk3 Fiesta Si in Lisburn yesterday afternoon! Haven't seen one in years! Mind you it was 50 shades of blue and looked like it was just about hanging together lol

I remember reading a Max Power review of the FTO which said "looks like they chase Porches, but in reality they sit with Mondeos" lol. Still something cool about them though.

Noticed a gleaming red Citroen AX GT 3-door on the Westlink this morning!! Wee car looked amazing and looked to have the original dealer english plates still fitted.

Grey J reg (1991?) 405 Saloon today in West Belfast. No show queen but in decent enough fettle for a car approaching 30 yrs old.

Noticed a turquoise greeny/blue Mk2 Astra convertible this morning on the M2 heading out of Belfast. Certainly made me look twice! Seemed to be in good shape but definitely a retro 80's/90's colour!
