Makes some of our post's seem a bit silly now

I once drove my FiL's Skoda Estelle. Only the once.

I enjoy making life difficult for lane hoggers and people who fail to get into the 'correct' lane at roundabouts.

Sometimes it looks like a genuine mistake, but I've still been a about it, by which time, it's too late.

[vournikas]

Left hand drive cars.

I'm like a bloody learner again, driving one of those. Useless I am.

Yes, as soon as that thing is fired up he will be out of there.

What have I missed?

Oh and for me, I rather like a well sorted FWD.

I started learning to drive in one, horrid thing.

I also owned a mk3 Astra for many years, a 2.0 sport, and I rather liked it.

The Rapide? (spelling) is becoming collectable now though.

I love old Volvo estates. I particularly like the 960 SE, the favourite of Golders Green in the 90's.

I also love Volvo estates but 245s and 740s are my favourites. I also have a soft spot for the Nissan Cube and think they should do a larger version.

Isn't that image an instant sin bin special?

Anyhoo... My first car was a Volvo 340 and I actually liked the old shed

Mine too.....Could not wash it as the dirt was holding the rust together.

I am such a rubbish driver that I can enjoy driving some cars that are "dangerously/glacially slow". Ie. very much less than 100bhp or 0-60 in 14+ seconds and and NCAP of "no chance".

I enjoy trapping these retards into a position where I can get on the horn and then cut them up.

I have a thing for mk1 Puntos.

I almost wish I hadn't swapped mine for a new clutch for my astra van

I was once commandeered by a plod and told to pursue another vehicle.

On my....

I had a "lesson" or two with my Mum in her Micra in a car park. I was somewhat impressed, upon opening the bonnet, to see "Twin Cam 16 Valve" stamped on the engine. It was also surprisingly nippy when you put your foot down, not that I ever practised alone. Ahem.

I'm also a bit of a Rover fan (I've had two) and couldn't understand the hate for the Metro in Friday's SOTW. I'd love one. I have very fond memories driving a borrowed Rover 25 around, even overtaking a slow-moving Passat on a country road.

My guilty motoring secrets... Chronologically...

As a youngster 17-21

I replaced the 1.6 badge on my Cortina to 2.0 one... I mean who gave a t*** ... What did I do that for???

I could not resist the urge to immediately fit spotlights to any car I had... Even on a Dolomite, even though I knew they looked crap.

I bought a Renault 16 because the whole interior converted into a bed...thinking I might get laid etc... (it did not help)

Ferris Bueller inspired me to steal any car my father had when he was away on business. (If I could disconnect the speedo ...I did)

As a young Man in my 20's

I too had a Carina E.. I actually had two... (Company cars I had no choice) I used to secretly think they looked a bit like a 3 series... (They did not at all)

I thought I looked a bit like Dirty Den or Spender in my black saab 900i..(with 3 spoke alloys). I even used to wear a black polo neck and black leather jacket to complete the look...... OMG what was I doing!!

In my 30's

I had the wire disconnected on my BMW E46 so I could watch TV at any speed.


In my 40's

Despite being lucky enough to have some very nice cars... I'm happiest just trundling about in my £500 Jeep Cherokee..

There you go ... its all out now... I feel a bit better

[Noesph]

I quite like Citroen C15's, I think it might just be the sheer basic-ness of them.
