Icaras because of the sheer speed in W3 and because I took some care over the back story for Icaras for WipEout Pulse when it came to bringing them back.
EG-R because I thought it was the best looking ship in Fusion and again in Pulse/HD, because the idea to merge EG-R and Xios was mine and I felt some responsibility to actually use the ship! Plus I sat by Egg when he was working on the EG-X ship and pestered him a lot to make it look "more like the Fusion one", so I owe it to him to play with it. :)
I never use Piranha, Harimau, or Mirage, although I should use Mirage because the team name was my idea, when Colin had originally chosen Mantis. I needed a team to go with the MAGEC back story I'd created and wanted to move the team to fit with that. Colin was too swamped with track design at the time to, quite rightly, shout me down and so Mantis became Mirage and moved from Mexico to the UAE.
At the time I felt that there were too many teams "over that way" (Auricom, Piranha, Mantis) and none in Saudi Arabia region. I feel bad about that one, because the ship had already been designed and the colours already chosen to fit with Mantis, so I probably shouldn't have meddled there. Now I can't use the ship because I feel guilty!
