My first bike was a 70' Garelli I rode in the desert... It was really different to ride the perky little two-stroke engine as the shift pedal was on the right not the left like a regular bike but it was a good bike to learn on...  |

Out of all of our cars I've enjoyed driving them all except the Peugeot, the Sierra was a superb car in all ways and if they still made the, I would happily have another,, that being said when I'm by myself the Focus has a great turn of speed and loves a good blast given the chance!!!

Sierras are classed as classic cars over here now, very collect able, especially if you have the 4x4 or the RS Cosworth. |

Forgot this one! It came after the Mondeos and before the Skoda, a VW Scirocco 2.0 Tdi 170  went like stink, SWMBO hated it and wouldn't drive it so it had to go. I said I would only trade it for and estate car that had a similar performance so I got the Skoda. |

Ford sold a car here in the states, that was built in Germany:  ![]() It was called Merkur XR4Ti. Based on the Sierra XR4i. Quick little autos!!! I drove these when I worked at a Lincoln/Mercury dealership in Knoxville, Tennessee. |

I liked those cars, too. They cost a bit more than a Mustang GT, tho.

Don't have pictures but my first car in 1990 was a '78 Buick Century...Canadian built because the speedometer had km/hr on top and not mph. Used to freak my friends out when I'd get to 60 on the highway as that read 100 km on top.
Had a great pickup for a while (Toyota T100) but now I'm in a 2013 Honda Civic...

Our Sierra was a great car if you can except that I replaced the engine after I was quoted £2000 to replace the piston rings, I bought a replacement engine for £250 and never had any trouble after that,the original throttle arm was a sort of plastic but a mod was made by Ford to replace it for about £5 eventually though the body started to fall apart which was an issue with them all up to 86 when better rust protection was used,
.Would have loved the 4x4

There's a spot in the driveway for this:  1990 Jaguar XJ-S V-12 Cabriolet. Fun car to drive. Expensive to repair! (Actually, this is Mrs. Bucky's car!) |

I picked this up for my son after I gave him a loan and had the enjoyment of driving it for a short while. A 1990 Rover Metro GTa. A poor version of the GTi but the only difference I could find was a tuned engine + Turbo on the GTi. This had a 1275cc engine but due to its lightweight and low stance it went and fealt like a rocket.Also up until he had to sell it it was the only GTa registered for road use, a little bright I know but a sad day when it went.  |
