This one ain't too bad mate 

And your list is more impressive than mine 

[Shelby]

Well, heres the ones I can remember!

'83 Ford Capri 1.6 Laser (First car I bought for myself)
'72 Ford Capri 3.0e (modified - bored out to 3.1, stage 3 heads, carb, cams, springs, shocks and more, loved that car).
BMW 318i (can't remember the year, was the older squarer shape)
'98 Daewoo Lanos
2000 Daewoo Nubira (don't know what was going on in my head for these two!)
'96 Vauxhall Astra 1.8 Sport
'96 Peugeot 406 2.1 GLX Estate
'99 Vauxhall Omega 2.0 CDX Estate

[51M0N]

'98 Daewoo Lanos
2000 Daewoo Nubira (don't know what was going on in my head for these two!)

They should of stuck to making microwaves and vhs players.

[Shelby]

To be fair, the Lanos was to all intents and purposes a Vauxhall with a different badge, even sharing very similar parts.

The Nubira was a year old when I got it and wasn't actually that bad a car on the whole, didn't really have any problems with it until I go posted to Wales (was in the Army at the time) and family stayed in Lincoln.

Doing that 600 mile round trip every week just killed it.  Head gasket went, tracking constantly going out (got through nearly 3 pairs of front tyres in a year!), front bearings went, aircon packed up, front pipe of the exhaust broke, well the welded joint onto the bracket to the manifold broke, had it replaced for a new one, a few weeks later same thing happend, had it replaced under warranty, a month or so later it went again.

Last time it went was on the M5 after I finished in Wales, heading home.  Got the AA out how put a couple screws in the pipe and then wired it up over the manifold and it stayed like that for 6 months until I got shot of the car.

[LJay]

A short list for 15 years of driving...

D plate Fiesta 1.1 last seen on its side on a forecourt!
G plate Golf 1.3
K plate Cavalier 1.8 GLS which I loved but couldn't find out what was wrong with it.
W plate Omega 2.2. A lovely car, just not a V6!
S plate Omega 3.0 MV6 which is rivaling my Cav as my fave car. A rust bucket which really ought to go!
