[MickAP]

Can't remember some of the years but this is how my vehicle ownership goes from 1970........

1) 1966 Split screen VW camper van Devon conversion Joint owned with my dad.
2) 1971 VW beetle 1300 (saw it around eight years ago in mint condition in Staffordshire)
3) 1973 Vauxhall Viva HB 1256cc bigger car with boot required, gutless engine wish I'd never bothered.
4) 1973 Vauxhall Victor 2.3cc needed a towcar, wished I'd kept hold of it a little longer.
5) 1980 Datsun Cherry the only car bought brand new, I needed a small car cause I was doing a lot of miliege, working away from home.
6) 1979 Renault 18 (I think it was) nice car good engine and gearbox but things started to break, like handbrake lever, door lever, clutch pedal etc...
7) 2lt Cortina
Renault 6
9) Skoda Estelle
10) Lada Riva
11) Datsun Stanza had a problem with a leaking driveshaft which was never fixed, so got rid quickly.
12) 1992 Nissan Primera 2lt GLX best car and most reliable car ever owned, nothing went wrong in 4 years.
13) Nissan Primera 2lt SRI again brilliant car, but too many boy racers around just wanted to sit right up your arse end I found, so got rid....it wasn't really that fast just had a bodykit and stiffer suspension and high insurance.
14) Nissan Primera 1.8 s Yet again another one this time a sedate base model hatchback.
15) Nissan Primera 2lt SE+ estate and another one this time top of the range leather and all.
16) Omega 2.5TD Facelift estate, current car and it does the job nicely, it's been chipped and in excellent condition, can't see me wanting to part with this just yet.
17) 1999 Skoda Felicia 1300 ok for a runaround, but it was a little rusty around the edges.
18)1990  Vauxhall Astra 1.4 LX...current runaround and only done 30,000 miles immaculate condition

Of the above cars I can really say 7,8,9 & 10 were only bought at a time as that was all I could afford, otherwise they would have never been in the list.
Wish I still had the VW camper, have seen how much they are fetching now in good nick.

Short attention span, said my school report!!! Guess it was right.

[Lizzie_Zoom]

Short attention span, said my school report!!! Guess it was right.

Well it does look as though you got bored quickly with a number of those cars!!

[webby23]

14. 1991 Fiesta XR2i (split up with g/f and her kids so single man again, single mans car.....)

think you mean WOMANS car


Also, the crappy BMW mini - this is very common for them to be rejected, I guess you had to sign the disclaimer about accepting the faults may be on the new car, yet did not constitute a design problem?  The poor sod who bought your rejected one (they just get sold on, as deemed nothing to repair) is the unlucky one, as they are buying 2nd hand, so cannot reject as easily

Yes mate, I know for a fact that the rejected Cooper was sold again by the same dealer cos I saw it about 6 months later at one of the Mini events.....

Went up and introduced myself but didnt know what to say when the new owner asked me why i sold it........!!!

 

[Monza]

Its the Vectra 3.0V6 CDTI I have had the longest, I love it. Other than that, due a service, CHANGE IT !
