Gedi - you are officially the hot hatch king!!

Mine is relatively straight forward:

P-reg Rover 214Si (97-00)
T-reg Ford Puma 1.7 (00-03)
W-reg Ford Racing Puma (02-current)
02-reg Opel Speedster (03-current)

Sadly, I've just had my application for the Ford Gt turned down... I hope Clarkson doesn't get one!
