X Power Alloy Wheels

[Everest]

So, I learnt on the same car as @Bricktop X PWR, first hot hatch was same as @Anon70 and have had 2 other 4WD performance cars (Coupe Quattro and GT4)... am I destined for an Xpower?

It's looking that way matey

A rare one I had was a Citreon Visa GTI

Never had the Visa but did have one of these BX GTi (in black), really dodgy electrics, had to keep changing light bulbs in the dash and the ABS computer fried itself. But loved that trick suspension

My first "hot hatch" in the early 1990's was one of these

On reflection, looking at your pic, I'm trying to make myself younger than I am!... we had the earlier, squarer Corolla GT, like this...

I was going to get a bx14 for my car car. I remember looking through the exchange and mart as they used to list all the vehicles in front with the specs. The Citreon BX14 had the highest hp in an insurance class 4? and below, it also had electric windows and power steering. I never got one though. MG Metro, mk II escort, Sierra 2.0, Granada, Astra GTe 8v as far as I can remember just while I was 17. I was lucky enough to have a car park at home as we lived in an old pub, so normally had a collection, and working as a mechanic so lots of cars available. I used to keep a small car insured and then have a bigger faster car in my parents insurance for the first year, then got traders insurance when I was 18. I did have a Citreon Zantia for a while when I was a bit older, maybe 21. That was ok. A few boring cars, which were actually quite good. A Mazda 626 which fell into the category too.

I had a first generation Ford Ka that fell into that category, on the surface pretty boring but because of the skinny tyres you could power slide on a roundabout at about 10mph in the right conditions. So it was fun to drive.
