I had a mk2 MX5 - the hype is real, they're fantastic little cars.
Anyone into classic cars

Not really classics for me, but my daily's keep me fairly busy with keeping them sweet.
Funny really, when I first starting driving, owning a 20 year old car felt like an OLD car. Nowadays, these still feel and look fairly modern.
Just bought this. Plenty of work required, its a bit of a shed mechanically. But, I like it, a very odd car.
Sold this before the A2 came. Owned it 9 years, it was a good one.
Trusty Passat. 215k miles. Tidy car, owned by my dad since 2014, and me since 2022. Had a lot of work over the years but is very reliable and really does a lot (carts the family, camping trips, heavy tip runs etc) .

In my head a 205 is a 20 year old car.
It isn't.
My golf is 13, my goof is 42 and my bike is 19.
The goof is fair enough, but neither the golf nor the bike feel that old. I've just employed someone who wasn't born when my bike was new. There's something wrong about that.
This will probably be a classic in the future which is a handful on the road as I had this from new bought brand new in Melbourne 2017
BMW 140i used it in Melbourne until Covid hit then stored for over two years then shipped to UK where I used it for another year before selling it for a more family orientated car the BMW M340i. The combination of the 8speed ZF gearbox coupled with the B58 engine is superb & extremely reliable.
