1965 Morris 1100 - floor fell out

I think that was quite common.

One of my earliest memories (I was about two - 1971) is looking through the floor of my grandfather's 1100 and seeing the road (it was parked at the time fortunately :giggle: ).

It had to get scrapped and he bought a Triumph Vitesse - I loved that car!

1990 Vauxhall Sunbeam

What's that?

Passed my test in August 2000 and had:

Fiat Panda 750cc - G***VUT - scrapped

Peugeot 106 XN 1.0 - M**LBC - part-exed

VW Polo 1.0E - W***PRR - written off

VW Polo 1.0E - X***KKV - part-exed

VW Golf 1.9 SE - T***ROF - part-exed

SEAT Leon Cupra TDI - **04*** - sold

I know i've missed one or two, favorites have to be the, Escort RS's, TR8, Lotus, Porsche 911 Turbo and the Renault 5 Turbo 2, often I would have 3 cars at a time, just love all cars, each having its own character, at the Minute running the frugle Micra and VRS.

Running my own business for many years allowed me to indulge my passion for cars. I haven't included the Vans I have owned.

I only wish I had kept some of them As they would be worth a fortune now!!

Can't say there was a car I really hated - all gave me loads of fun
