The RST was just brilliant so much fun and it got so many looks - but then it was the first sporty car i had had - i miss the sound SO MUCH!!

the vts was about 150bhp and was a rocket machine as was the 210bhp cupra!!

the clio and the vts were the most fun round the bends closely folloed by the RS

nothing beats the RS for sound though!!

Couldnt choose my favourite to be hounest!! TOO HARD!!
