Old gits! far too young a discussion for me to remember (started driving 1999) but having read the article, the author Mike Humble is the current back pager for Car Mechanics who took over from Ted Connolly.
Late 80's one of the kids in my class, his dad had a Blue early model SD1 3500 we had a Fiat Uno 45 :(
Nothing on Allegros, but lots of Maestros in the family in the 90's. Used to love the sound of the councel diesel vans at full pelt
A pal had a 2.5 Vectra (quite the lad when youre 22) hooned it everywhere, let me have a very brief drive which was fun. Made a great sound.
Itals probably all gone by the time I started driving.
