then a Cavalier SRi that went like stink but attracted boy racers(company car)
then a Cavalier Diplomat that I bought off the company when I got made redundant. It got nicked three weeks later. I bought another after six weeks of arguing with the insurance company .Then I got another job with a Peugeot diesel 405 that was dreadful. I sold my cavalier to my dad, he loved it.
Then I fell out with that firm, got divorced , and bought a Calibra special , light blue with cream leather seats. (FU car)
Then two Vectras. and now an Astra twintop.
Next car will probably be a motorised shopping trolley. My mileage has gone from 30, 000 a year to less than 10, 000.
A white Ford Escort. Reg - F48 JTV bought in 1996 for around £600 I think. Before that I drove company vehicles, a Ford Transit and a Volkswagen pick-up truck.
Since that Escort there was a burgundy Escort bought in 2000, a greeny-blue Ford Mondeo, a green Vauxhall Astra and now a green Peugeot 206 (parked in the drive as I type)
Mine was a Morris Marina Coupe (Orange) My sister and I bought it between us for the princely sum of £900 in 1978/79. She used it in the day, I had a lift to work so used it in the evenings... Her boyfriend had a Datsun Sunny.... Great memories.
I had an early mini with those electrical issues, Tetly....wet used to enter the engine compartment via the front grill and in turn found its way on to the distributer cap & HT leads. They fixed the problem on later models by fitting a deflector plate.

Not sure how many cars I've had over the years....but probably my Ford Sierra Sapphire holds the most happy memories.......erm, huge back seat.

I would say there are few hereabouts with a few miles on the clock.
"We also bought a nice new bungalow (they don`t have bungalows in Australia)..for £4,000"
Perhaps I should start another thread...'how much did you pay for your first house?'
Mine was £1,795 for a new, 3 bedroom semi-detached.
