<br>
SO here it is....and no laughing please <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
1985 Vauxhall Nova 1.2 in red [B368WUA]-- Bought already Barried up with half GTE body kit and a sports exhaust which gave me a headache, so it got a stock one when that rotted through.<br>
<br>
1987 Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6 in white [E617HTR]-- I was doing so many motorway miles travelling from Reading back to Yorkshire every weekend this was a godsend. Boring though.<br>
<br>
1992 Peugot 205 1.4i GTX in Metallic Grey[K167TRT]-- The GTi's smaller brother. handled like a roller skate, good fun without the nig insurance. I would own a 205 GTi tomorrow.<br>
<br>
1985 Austin Montego Mayfair 2.0 in metallic red[Bgodknows]-- Now married and sent on a 9 months residential course i needed a cheap car. Had 12 months tax and ticket, and fifteen years rust. Bought for the princely sum of £195 and sold for £200 9 months later with considerably more miles and less MOT. The owner phoned me two weeks after i had sold it, broken down on the M25. He asked me if the engine usually smoked. He had an underbonnet fire just starting to happen<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :eek --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ns/eek.gif ALT=":eek"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> . Used lots of petrol, but used even more oil. It did see the naughty side of the ton on the A12 though.<br>
<br>
1995 Renault 19 1.4 in red[N402OCU]-- Given (yes free) to me by my father in law when he bought a new car. Valued at about £2000 at the time, the trade in only offered him £250 for it. So he told the salesman to screw it. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
Sold the Pug to make way for this as the family was getting bigger. Still owned, but now its really the wifes car. Lots of irritating minor electrical faults (french hehe)<br>
<br>
1982 Triumph Dolomite Sprint in carmine Red[RAV154X]-- You already know about this one <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :hat --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
