    Drivin for 10 years now :/

    Learned and had a 1.8d fiesta – no gizmos . Did 50mpg and none of the doors locked + could get in boot with a spoon . Became a pump in a field – bodywork failed at 200k

    Replaced with a 1.6 escort on an m plate bought at 40k and scrapped at 80 with hgf

    Replaced with my parents owned since new hyundai lantra 1.6si on a w place – was a grad present. Lasted 3 weeks before it lunched its ecu

    Bought a peugeot partner van on a 56 plAte and have been using it as main car since

    The mrs has had a mazda 323- rusted to death , a mk4 golf – hgf after waterpunp impellor failed) and is now on a 2.2 td frontera – the most surprising car ive driven if im honest. Expected to hate it but dont.

    One or two… in order ( I think)

    [*]Peugeot 106 1.1 (tinny but fun)
    Astra GTE (felt very fast at the time, digital speedo was ace, seats comfiest ever, l0ved that car)
    Golf VR6 (still miss this one, most fun and best looking car I’ve ever had (was lowered).
    VW Polo (1985 B reg) almost as much fun as the VR6 at much much lower speeds. Swapped it for a bed.
    Mini Cooper (new BMW version, quite dissapointing after the noelty of a new car wore off)
    VW Golf Mk2 1.3 (had two of these, one after the other. £500 each. Slow but comfy and not bad to drive)
    Smart FourTwo (bought for a long commute, sometimes fun but harsh ride and terrible gearbox put the mockers on it)
    Seat Toledo Tdi (Huge boot and economical. Failed MOT massively so sold for scrap).
    Corsa 1.0 (wifes car mainly, was OK but head gasket went so sold on ebay for spares/repair).
    Peugeot 106 diesel (incredible economy, incredibly uncomfortale on a long run. My first 106 must was almost new, this was old and knackered)
    Golf Mk2 GTI (loved that car, wish I still had it)
    Seat Cordoba (Ibiza Estate, diesel, commuting workhorse, did huge mileage and was….. OK).
    VW Type 2 Camper (ace in so many ways, terrible in so many others)
    VW Mk1 Golf Cabrio (lots of fun and lots of bills)
    Honda Civic (boring but practical, no alarms and no surprises there)

    Think that’s the lot, lots of good memories there and lots of visits to the garage, hate to think how much money went on that lot!

    Of course there was the bit between passing my test and being able to afford my own car (several years in fact)

    Cars that my parents were generous insane enough to give me the free use of:

    Ford Escort
    Rover 214
    Rover 400
    Rover 800
    Jaguar XJ8

    Silly, silly people.

    Probably should have checked that the car actually worked before giving it to me, then… 😉

    It had an annoying habit of alerting me that there was moisture in the diesel tank. It was a petrol car.

    1980ish Triumph Acclaim – beige
    1992 mk3 Golf
    1997 Passat 1.8t estate
    2002 Ford Focus mk1
    1990 Honda Civic
    1999 306gti6
    2005 golf tdi
    1998 406 v6 estate
    2004 mondeo estate tdci

    Of those I have had the Mondeo longest (5.5years) and most miles (85000 in my ownership, 130000 in total).

    306gti was the most fun and the 406 had a certain stealth appeal and luxury for a £1300 car!!!

    In 13 years, I have only owned two cars; that’s a bit odd given how interested in cars I am.

    But anyhow…

    – 1994 Ford Fiesta Si 1.4 in Mallard Green, bought in 2000. Slow, but handled like a roller skate.
    – 2003 Ibiza 1.9 TDi Sport 130, bought in Sept 2006. Plenty quick (but should have got the Cupra), economical, very reliable. Perfect car for me really, but I will replace it with an estate I think when the time comes.
