In order of owning...

B Reg Polo 1.0C (more rust than metal, blew head gasket in first week)

L Reg SKODA FAVORIT LXi Plus (never could work out what the plus was, but a cracking wee car it was!)

R Reg SKODA FELICIA GLi (as above, better ignition and had power steering but just didn't look as good as the Fav IMO)

Y Reg SKODA FABIA 1.4 Classic - this was the biz until it started eating gearboxes (albeit at Skoda's expense), ditched it after the fourth replacement

X Reg Nissan Micra 1.0 S - don't laugh...

L Reg Fiat Punto 55S - belonged to swmbo when she got a corsa

N Reg Hyundai Accent 1.3 - pile of p**h

R Reg Renault Clio 1.9D - worked brilliantly until I squashed it against a crash barrier...

S Reg Citroen Xsara 1.9TD - actually one of the best I've owned, despite having over 200k on the clock. bought from auction for

In order of owning.....

Vauxhall Cavalier 1.3L- Overheated on the coldest day of the year one day after buying the car!

Renault 9 GTL - liked this car, 5 gears (quite rare back then), sunroof, kept for 3 years then brought:

Renault 21 TL - Big hefty thing, no power steering, reliable but sadly written off due to a collision with a rock!

Fiat Uno 1.4 - Slow, and a faulty axle meant it kept spinning off the road - sold

Vaxhall Astra 1.6 merit - Quitle like this, realiable, comfy but written off by drug drivers when parked in the street.

Vauxhall 1.4GLS - Replacement for the above, bit underpowered and a botched suspension lowering job by the previous owner meant if used to spin when comfroted with a left hand bend!

Skodia Fabia VRS - Easily the best car i've ever owned, just a couple of issues with a brake that won't realise properly.

1987 Ford Fiesta 1.1L - first car, did the job

1999 Peugeot 206 1.6 GLX - kept this for 2.5 years, good equipment for year but woeful build :thumbdwn:

2002 VW Bora TDI 130 Tiptronic - I drove this for a stop gap after my sister bought the 206, is my dads car - Solid feel, but a bir bouncy

2004 Fabia vRS - Got this a couple of weeks back, very good so far - amazing mid-range pull

Escort (1982) 1.6GL :thumbdwn:

Rover 216 efi though it had a rust problem

Fiat Uno 1.0 start :thumbdwn: very slow first new car I purchased

Ford Sierra 1.8 lx ( no power sterring)

Citroen ZX 1.4 AURA

VW POLO 1.4 cl: second new car: not as well biult as you may think :confused:

Ford Fiesta 1.4 zetec: lot more fun than the POLO

Skoda Fabia Vrs

Then: as a second car

Rover 214 nice car (purchased for

In order of ownership (starting from 1989!)

'B' reg Mini City in nutmeg brown. Kept breaking down on the motorway so traded it in for a

'C' reg Astra 1.3 in mexico red. Great car, but had starter motor problems that wouldn't go away...

'E' reg Peugeot 309 1.3 GE in Wedgewood Blue. Ok, not a great car, but never broke down!

'J' reg Citroen AX 1.1 Echo in black.... got me from A to B until someone ran into it and it was never the same again so...

'M' reg Citroen AX 1.4 Forte in red... pocket rocket! Replaced it with my first 'new' car, and from this point on they've all had names

'S' reg Ford Puma 1.7 in Jewel Green (Penny)... loved it! But after 3 yrs, traded her in for a

'Y' reg Ford Puma 1.7 in Medium Steel Blue (Petra)... only kept this one for 3 months (long story...) but then got

'W' reg Ford Racing Puma in Imperial Blue - the only colour they did! I still have this one (Phoebs), almost 4 yrs on....

2 yrs ago, bought a second car - work horse!

'P' reg Peugeot 306 XRDT (Percy) which I replaced last year with

'03' reg Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDi Ambiente in Admiral Blue (Ozzy). Planning to keep him quite a while.... and he's probably going to my bf once the time comes for me to change cars....

1985 Vauxhall Nova 1.0 - Freebie from a relative. Slow, didn't handle but reliable. Good disposable first car. Awful colour - wedgewood blue.

1986 VW Jetta Mk2 1.3 - Convenient replacement when Nova got TWOC. Panzer build quality, faster than you'd think and great handling. I'm still tempted to get a valver...

1995 Peugeot 306 DTurbo - Fragile but fantasic fun. First car with 5 speed gearbox!

1999 VW Bora 1.6 - Solid, great interior but unreliable electronics. Nice revvy engine - far better than the 2.0.

2005 Skoda Fabia vRS - the perfect all rounder?

Renault 5 1.1TL -

Renault 5 1.7 GTX - pretty nippy.

Renault Clio 1.4 RT - not bad

Mitsubishi Colt 1.6 GLX - worst car I have owned - a blancmange. :(

Seat Leon TDi SE - pretty good

Octy vRS (APR remap) - :thumbup:

BMW 330d (auto, Superchips remap) - :thumbdwn:

Another Octy vRS - APR remap, full exhaust, sports cat, carpet mod - lovely car

Mercedes C32 AMG - amazingly fast. A bit sterile and amazingly thirsty.

BMW X3 2.0d - okay, fits the family needs - slooow. Wife drives it so I guess following from the C32 for me would be:

VW Polo 1.4 Tdi - remapped - great wee car.

Wife's cars include many forgettables except a Ford Ka - fantastic fun!!!

At present, a whisker away from ordering a BMW 535d Sport Touring for the missus and getting an Octy vRS II for meself......
