Well I can't claim to own it but I do get a drive in the better half's Mk3 MX5 now and again....

Do four mountain bikes, a road bike and a unicycle count?

Not that I can ride the unicycle more than six feet...

Lol, servicing it from top to botom. Full brake strip clean, fluid change and check (it has nearly new discs and pads on the front and the rears are fine)...etc, etc, etc.

Its got nearly 400 quids worth of rubber on it (only done a few thousand miles since fitting).

Currently run two Omega's (1998/99) a S-Type Jag (1999) and the wife's Honda Civic (1997 model).

I do all the servicing myself. The Omega's have lasted well and other than the normal service items the tyres don't last long.

The Jag's off the road at the moment with a few suspension problems. Trying to pluck up the courage to price up (and pay) for the parts.  :o

The Jag costs are very expensive compared to the Omega and they don't do discounts like Vauxhalls with the TC card.

The wife's Honda (bubble shape) has been an excellent buy. Bought it as a one year old and hardly anything has gone wrong other than the normal service items.  :)

At the same time I had the Rover 400 (same shape and year as the Honda Civic).

I was always a Rover/Leyland fan in the past and drove plenty of minis, maestro's, Rover 200's.

However, this was a disaster.  >:(

 * head gasket went twice
 * alternator replaced
 * starter motor replaced
 * two exchange gearboxes
 * two new radiators,
 * three new clutches,
 * new air con system,
 * two sets of shock absorbers all round
 * rusty body panels (needed cutting out and weding)
 * rusty roof
 * and plenty of other issues.

No wonder they went under!! A shame really because it was a nice car to drive when it was running.

pick the car right, and it's less than 2 tanks of fuel for the Omega.

My Avenger is £103 a year to insure(fully comp, european breakdown cover etc), and free to tax. That just leaves £35 for an MOT. Maintenance is dirt cheap, when the head gasket failed last year(my fault, hadn't noticed the leaky core plug and drove it until it stopped) cost £12 for the set and took about an hour to do -try that on a modern car! Plus it's worth more than it's cost me which is handy!
