Summary
What does this car say about you?
Like Italian Cars.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Thought it was a bit boy racer.

No but no regrets. 250bhp in a 3 door hatch with, at that time, no Q2 diff, was too much.
What are you likely to buy next?
Replaced it with a Ford Ka! (large tax bill that year).
