Cars your really want but shouldn't
ITT: cars you wouldn't normally admit to liking, cars you really desire but you can't explain why. Bonus points if they're awful.
Peugeot 309
Renault 4
The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

Lol - I had a Renault 4 as my first car. Known as Elvis because it would shake, rattle and roll
Very cheap to run and very practical - I got an unfurnished flat and the rear bench seat, which had the back and base hinged together, acted as a sofa
for several weeks before I got an old fifteenth hand sofa donated by someone.
Mind you, I did have to get two new front shocks after I took off (deliberately...) over a humpbacked bridge.
There really is something to be said for a low powered car that you can drive on the limit.

Went through a mid-90's period of hankering over both of these (but thankfully having the sense not to actually do it!).
... and these...

What is it about dirty little FIATs ? 
You always remember your first love...

Love is like a snowmobile, speeding across the frozen tundra.
Which suddenly flips, pinning you underneath.
At night the ice-weasels come...

Nova Sport
Chevette
Hillman Avenger
Dolly Sprint
Opel Kadett Coupe
Vuxhall Ventora (one on Pistonheads at the moment with Rover V8 for £1800....)
Mk1 & 2 Escort
Escort RS 1600i
Escort RS Turbo (S1)
In fact, I'll be selling the Indy in spring, and have my eye out for one of the above (Nova Sport would be nice, but the others would definately
be in line for some sort of 16v or V6 conversion...)

I want another 205.
My list would include, Citroen DS, SM, XM and CX
Peugeot 505 and 309
Rover SD1, P5, P6 and 800
Jenson Interceptor
Jaguar XJS
Cadillac CTS, BLS and the MkII Seville
The most embarasing car I've ever desired is the Mitsibishi Pajero Mini.

Oops, I also forgot frogeye sprite.
Another one on my possible list of next projects - take an old midget, sort it out, stick a bike engine in it and fit it with a grp tifosi rana
frogeye body. Remove windscreen and fit a couple of brooklands screens, roll bar and tonneau and painted in Jim Clarke colours.
Rob - the metro IS a guilty pleasure indeed, but one I can agree with.
