What was your last non vauxhall car ?

[pscocoa]

3 Ford Scorpios between1985 and 2002. Not the most recent frog thing though.

Actually it was 4 of them between those dates.

[Elite Pete]

Mk1 MX5 and it was brilliant

nice little cars slightly underated i think

They tend to get slated by people that haven't driven them

[MaxV6]

..... 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 

Mk1 facelift, with plastic screw in gear lever base.....   

super epoxy , great for sticking them in so they stay stuck in,   and don't come out in your hand during a rapid 2nd-3rd change....

Lada Samara 1.3.

Bought for swmbo's Ukrainian cousin who rejected it

So I used it for a year, sold it to another Ukrainian who was very happy and bought a Frontera

[Sir Tigger KC]

1996 Rover 218 SD Great little car that ran happily on veggie oil and refused to die, until I committed 'Carslaughter' whilst changing the glowplug relay!    I forgot to disconnect the battery and accidently shorted it, which completely fried the electrics.....

Our last non Vauxhall was a 2001 Volvo S40 T4 200bhp auto. It was a fun car, real wolf in sheeps clothing, made many people open there eyes in the traffic light grand prix, Only sold it when idiot brown decided to up the road tax on high emission cars. We sold it then the tax was changed to 2006, gutted.

Range Rover in vogue model, had the hamper & stainless tail gate & fuel consumption on a par with a Vulcan bomber

a 1997 Mazda 626 2.0 Estate.

Good car to be honest, boring, but reliable and functional.
(and always sounded a bit like a sewing machine)
