What was your last non vauxhall car ?

[albitz]

Mercedes C180 about 3 years ago. Quite liked it apart from the dire lack of grunt and only 31mpg for having to suffer the lack of grunt.

very briefly,  between  senators and sintra, there was a pug 505 GTi 7 seat estate....   

it was shit


for my 30th birthday (nigh on 18 years ago) my wife bought me a Ford 2.8i crapheap "as a bit of fun" to recapture my teenage idiocy... 

my senator at the time was faster, handled better, and was better on fuel,  with a bigger boot, and more comfortable for everyone on board.... 

the capri went as soon as it was polite to do so....

I have a 1988 (E) Mk2 VW Golf 1.6D that I use for my commute to work.  Technically I didn't buy it though.  My parents (having owned it from new) were going to scrap it, but I managed to convince them to give it to me instead! 

Bought a 1995 3.0 Auto Laguna about 14 years ago.  I had it a week and averaged 13mpg!    Took it back to the dealer, told him he was having a laugh, and traded it up against a 2.0 16v Calibra and a 1.7TD Cavalier!   

Other than that, every single one of my cars has been a Vauxhall... and there have been over 50 of them to date!

Audi A6 Avant estate, got it after my first mig (which was a V6 that gave me loads of trouble).

It was pile of c**p, had it for 3 months and then got the first mig I could find for sale nearby.

Still got that one (2.2) and the current one.

Before that Rover 25 (ex dad's) 2 Vectra's, 2 Cavalier's, Astra, Commander & 2 Mk1 escort's oh and a Mini

Good car. Poor life expectancy. It just wore out approaching 100k. Clutch, rack, suspension, HT system. Ect ect

The Jaguar that's parked on the drive in front of the Mig,other than that a Rover SD1 in the mid-nineties before being replaced by my first Senator,had at least one of the big Vauxhalls ever since.

Before the MK5 escort i had a triumph herald with the interior in the boot    and before that a peugeot 309 diesel which was great on fuel . Then the long lost capri which the buyer was going to put a diesel in it

..... Then the long lost capri which the buyer was going to put a diesel in it 

I trust you had him shot in front of his family!

No but we did laugh when the gear stick came off in his hand on the test drive
