Interested to see if there's any trends?

We have my old 98 Scorpio.
Still amazingly comfortable, all the toys and reliable as the hills.
And we have Mrs N's Puma which is a corking car to drive and I'm always getting a bollocking for thrashing it.

97 P reg Peugeot 405 Executive Estate - 1.9 turbo diesel in aquamarine blue metallic. 92bhp, 45-50mpg and ~ 105 mph if you're lucky! Very practical, and suprisingly fun to drive. It's a late run-out model (before the 406 took over) so it's loaded with most of the toys - air con, abs, pas, electric windows all round, leather seats (heated!) alloys, chrome roof rails. It's got a huge load capacity and you can park it anywhere without worrying.. It makes a perfect companion to the Monaro, considering its abilities are quite different, I like them so much I've actually got 2 of them at the moment, so if anybodys noticing their fuel consumption is costing them a bit too much in the Monaro, one is for sale (sorry for shameless plug!)

2nd car is a 1995 Calibra Turbo which I've rebuilt... but it's day are (still) numbered. Don't really know what to do with it to be honest. But I'll be looking for a daily runner when it does go.

My girlfriend, Gemma, drives a 1.1 Citroen Saxo. I'm quite surprised at how well it drives for it's size and so on.. and does great (45mpg) mileage too.

Mm, Jenna's Getz is a great car, really well built, excellent ride, only problem with it is that it's soooooooo slooooooooow and the controls are unbelievably light compared to every other car I've driven and take a lot of getting used to.
