Funny the wife and I were talking about this the other day
As follows

1. Vauxhall Nova 1.2 GL A reg bought at about ten years old! was on the log book as red but it was a three pack brown oh and a saloon:lol: me and the g friend went everywhere in that car:car:
2. Peugeot 205 xs. Fantastic little car 3dr in red non sunroof. Was 5 yr old when we got her and badly oxidised, one sunday and a bottle of srp and it looked fantastic, used to get lots of comments. Bought for 4k and sold 11 mnths later with 1 months tax and no head unit for 3900
3. Peugeot 106 xsi red 3yr old bought from a peugeot employee came with all extras plus electric slide sunroof. good little car which gave us no trouble but a little dull compared to the 205..
4. Peugeot 205 1.6 gti:argie: Bought from a pug dealer 6yrs old and 12,000 mls on the clock:doublesho looked brand new and engine still tight. Really regret getting rid of this but had no where to store her
5 Peugeot 106 gti in diablo ( metallic) red. our first new car cracking motor and great handling kept for three years.
6 Mini Cooper S dark silver/white roof. Fantastic little car the new Mini and prefer the phase 1 styling a few rattles and niggles but bmw service was fantastic would def consider another or a bmw just because of the service.
Gearing a bit long legged and seats a bit hard and not much support but love the whine from the supercharger and burble on tickover oh and harmann kardon stereo!!!
7. Honda Civic (new shape) in met grey.. not my cup of tea at all gutless engine, unless ragged and just too clinical and boring had quite a few recalls as well and the dealer service was utter sh**e wouldn't have another.
8. Suzuki Swift 1.5 glx present car in met red 3dr. what a cracking little car cant fault it at all. considered chopping it in but its faultless:argie:and wife would kill me!
9. Peugeot 205 gti 1.9 miami blue my toy and summer car ongoing project...great to drive and nowt to touch it in that respect imo...
10. Vauxhall combo van present workhorse as I'm a plasterer. love this as well dead reliable and would def have another vauxhall van...

Cheers
Edd.
