I tend to keep cars until I kill them, so here goes
1982 Triumph Acclaim HLS - great engine, pretty rapid, didn't do corners. Did around 30k, gave to my brother.
1986 Vauxhall Belmont 1.8GLSi - first engine, WOW! Replacement engine shite. Only had car 3 months, hated it. Covered around 15-20k in that time though.
1990 Vauxhall Astra GTE - girls car. Abysmally bad chassis, couldn't handle the engine. Bought it just under 2yrs old, started to rust before its 3rd birthday, sold it after a year due to the hassle (police pulls, breakins etc) and the £3k insurance renewals!
1990 Rover 216GSi - one of the best cars I've owned, for what it was, went like stink (quicker than the GTE, only it handled, and could stop!). Awful economy (averaged 25mpg
), but it lived on the redline all the time. No PAS though, kept me fit! Sold to my brother when he got divorced.
In this era I was carless for a while - Mrs TB had company/lease cars, I had a works supplied van.
2000 Rover 25 1.6iS - first new car (that I've paid for myself), and one we still have on the drive. HG issues aside, its been a great car. Build quality is, errr, 'Longbridge', but being one of the very first 25s, it has the handling.
1998 Vauxhall Omega MV6 - only intended to keep it a few months, still have it 5.5yrs later
1996 Vauxhall Omega CD - Project TB1
1999 Vauxhall Omega Elite - Project TB2, well known on this site, and the current owner is a member. I miss that car, despite the grief it gave me for the first 9 months.
