My very short list.

05 Ford SportKa SE

14 Skoda Octavia vRS (on order)

Citroen BX GTi

Excellent. Not just me then.

the main ones that stick in my mind...

Vauxhall Victor FD1600 (1968) the year of the rust - oh so much fiberglass filling.

Vauxhall VX2300 1976 auto. Still brings smile to my face. Auto box, velour seats and imitation wood. Cruising with CB mike in my lap.

two mini 1000s hoot to drive as long as it wasn't cold.

Fiat Strada & Fiat 128 - brilliant engines in both but oh the tin worm.

Mk2 Cavalier - camshaft followers snapped at 70 on M4 in wales - interesting day.

Mk3 Cavalier - white with stinking carpet in boot - boy did that reek.

Owned from new...

Renault scenic 1600 sport (sport??? wtf -lol) - hey! young family, OK?

scenic 2lt with all the trimmings - nice car but lots of niggle problems.

brilliant cars for families - so practical

Volvo S40 D5 SE very nice car, spoilt only by the stupid centre console design. Also still brings smile to my face - especially that five pot growling engine.

Octavia L&K 1.8TSI estate. All the toys but to be honest lacking in character.

2000 (W) Renault Clio 1.4 'Sport'

 

53 Ford Fiesta 1.25 Finnesse

63 Skoda Octavia mk3 VRS TDi

 

SWMBO (22 - Driving since 2010):

That's the problem.  There isn't a button. There must be some sort of rule based on time since post / number of posts you've made, etc that takes the button away under certain circumstance
