car History
« on: 03 October 2020, 14:22:06 »
Just been jotting down my car history

Interesting how the standards have gone up and down according to how poor I was at the time, the 2 new cars were bought 8 months apart because the Astra was full of faults.

Also, would never buy a new car again with the amount of money the car loses after its bought.

Because we are generally at the older end of the car ownership spectrum, the lists are likely to be long..... ::)

Mini 850 x2
Mini 1000
Mini Cooper
Mini Cooper S x2
Triumph 2000 M1 and Mk2 (several and currently)
Triumph 2.5 PI Mk1 and Mk2 (several and currently)
Ford Escort 1.4 GL and Ghia (several)
Ford Escort 1.4 / 1.6 GL and Ghia(several)
Ford Orion 1.4 / 1.6 Ghia (several)
Vauxhall Cavalier GL (several)
Vauxhall Cavalier GLS (several)
Vauxhall Cavalier SRi 130 (several)
Vauxhall Astra 1.4 / 1.6  (several)
Vauxhall Cavalier CD
Vauxhall Omega 3.2 Elite (saloon) - my first Omega - selling was a mistake!!
Audi A4 2.0 TFSi
Audi A4 3.0 TFSi
Audi S4 (B7) saloon

Vauxhall Omega 3.2 Elite saloon and estate (several and currently)
Vauxhall Omega 2.6 Elite (several and currently)

Not many modern cars currently float my boat really, so I'll stick with my classic Triumphs for pleasure, the RS4 to put a smile on my face, Omega Elites for enjoyment and comfort, and the Santa Fe for carrying my numerous grandkids and lugging my car transporter around ..... :y

Not as old as you think but not as young as I would like :D

I can still remember all but one reg (the 2.6 Omega bought with no MoT as a flip) and how much I paid for each one :-[

Way back when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth, and I was but a callow youth, I owned two plastic pigs.

The first a 600cc Regal saloon. The second a 600cc Regal Supervan.

Needless to say I rolled them both. :)
