Other notable vehicles I can remember

Bedford CF van I drove for a summer as a Student job, around London and SE, 2.3lt engine and when empty could beat anything off the lights in second gear. You only needed first fully loaded on a hill. Very twitchy on bends empty as the double wheels each side had such stiff springs the whole rear of the van would bounce of the road on a bump!

Very large top of range vauxhall estate as temporary work car, can't recall the model, but first auo I have had for any time, under 20mpg!

G reg Cavalier 2lt Saloon again as temporary works car, very economical

BMW series 3 estate diesel, had it for a week and hated it, glad to get the Superb back aftyer repairs

Golf GT Tdi as a hire car, awfull thing, felt like it had no springs, just banged from one bump to the next

Hired Ford Focus for 2 weeks in Portugal

Hired Opal Corsa in Portugal for 2 weeks

Worst car I can recall driving was a moris marina hire car I had for two weeks. It was nearly new but was falling apart inside with switches breaking as you used them, and wallowed round corners in an extremely unsafe manner.

Memorable cars owned by my parents that I have used a lot

then I fancied something FAST and fun for sunny weekends so bought a

Lotus 340r - a track based car based on the Lotus Elise. It looked nothing like one though.

190bhp and less than 700kg - it was rediculously fast round bends and accelerating!!!

Then we had a daughter so I had to sell my Lotus, scrap the Rover and buy my Fabia vrs

and a Punto for the misses.

That's all I've had for the past 15 years.

[rk696]

??? Daewoo Lanos, pile of sh*te!!

Triumph Herald 1360 - Great fun, used to unbolt the roof, ok so long as I kept the doors shut!

Morris minor - Had to hold it first gear going uphill

Ford Escort Estate MK1 - Like a slow boat

Dutton melos kit Car - Made from the escort, but with 1700cc crossflow

Renault 12 - super slow, but quiet

Hillman Avenger 1600 - Nippy and good fun until I wrote it off on Rivelin valley Road in Sheffield.

Ford Capri 3000S - move over Doyle.

Vauxhall Cavalier MK2 - good ride, but rust bucket.

Toyota Rav 4 - First new car - part ex after 6 months

Toyota Carina 1600cc lean burn - boringly efficient and economical

Robin Hood kit car I built out of a Triumph Dolomite Sprint

Renault 10 with mechanical auto box, Renault 5 engine in the rear with starting handle

Toyota Hiace Super Custom - great till the headgasket blew

Citroen ZX 1.9 Diesel - Interior fell apart, but nice motor, my veg oil special before government got wise and veg oil prices went up

Volvo 740 - Liked this one, kept going whatever.

Nissan Primera - poo, weird electrics-NATS

Landrover Defender TD5- love this, wife drives it

Fabia VRS - I treat it like an old fella with a Thai wife, lavish it with gifts as it brings me so much pleasure!

Edited 6 September, 2010 by Cheapaschips

[masterff]

1. Rover MINI 1.0 City Automatic 1992 - great laugh around roundabouts, very poor reliability.

2. Ford KA 3 1.3 1999 - ( forgive me o lord for this mistake lol )

3. Peugeot 206 Zest 3 1.4 HDI 2005 - quite a good engine but awful dashboard and driving position - I mean AWFUL

4. BMW 330I Sport 2000 - This was the start of proper cars remapped to produce 245bhp and quite abit of torque this thing went - let down by colour tho ( black )

5. Toyota Camry Sport 2.2 1999 - Put Simply the best car i've ever driven and owned, never let me down and just a lovely cruiser down the motorways - killed when i did the god awful scrappage :(

6. Honda S2000 2000 - I spent aload of money on this motor ( hard top, AP2 wheels, Professional Paint Correction, servicing etc ) put a smile on my face but felt dangerous at real high speed due to it being quite light.

7. Hyundai i20 Style 2009 - probably worst car I bought ( this was in place of the toyota, and I feel the pain every day )

8. Audi A8 L 4.2 Quattro 2003 - This car I currently own along side the next car on the list , it's a true bad ass motor, again had it remapped ( 355bhp / 390nm Torque ) very long car ( 5.1 metres, extremely smooth with adjustable air suspension - horrible when things need sorting, more electrics than a NASA space rocket - spent 1K on a Authorisation module when the car cocked up after trying to jump start it.

9. Skoda Fabia VRS 2007 - driven around europe in it in august and never skipped a beat, also went around the ring on the same tank of fuel that got me there from bristol lol, only thing I hate is the white on the seats, bloke who thought of this should of been shot.

proper skodaholic.....

Yep they are good reliable cars and have never let me down

I love my little vrs and plan to run it untill its not financially sensible to do so ie LOTS of things start going wrong with it.

But if/when the turbo goes its getting the hybrid / FMIC treatment.
