Since 2000:

'97 Fiat Bravo TD100 - RIP @ 9 mths. Some silly bint in an MGF ran a stop sign doing 45 in a 30, shifted the nose by 6" and split the chassis spars at the bulkhead. Six months later I get a letter from DVLA saying that someone's tried to tax it :eek:

'95 Peugeot 405 GLX - white, so frequently mistaken for a taxicab. Racked up 45k in 18mths, driving to Devon every weekend to see the g/f. Ice cold aircon :rock:

'99 Honda Civic VTi-S - Ltd Edition. 185hp, trick suspension, and latterly an ear-bleeding stainless exhaust.
Father's company car, bought from leasing company at contract end @77k. 2.5 years later @140k, sold for £600 less than I paid.

Now:

'97 C250TD - wafty luxobarge with comfy seats, 41k on the clock.
'89 Alfa 75 3.0 V6 - superb engine, crap everything else. Gearbox now DOA.
'04 Honda Integra DC5 Type R - sharper, faster and twice as insane as the Civic.
