Re:

Some more recent pictures of my favourite car. I drive this one every week in the summer, and at least once per month in the winter, so it's not a garage queen. Small (2 1/2 year old) daughter refers to it as "Daddy's shiny brown car."

Re:

My first, my last, my best...

First, 1989 Vauxhall Nova 1.3 Pearl, the posh model with alloys, 4 speakers and a sunroof. Cost £50, cheap and crap, always something broken but didnt cost more that £300 in any year to keep going.


Last, Volvo V40 1.9TD, bangernomics in action. With all the pence-per-miles I did and a bit of canny ebaying this beast cost me NOTHING to run a car for nearly 3 years. Solid, no faults, frugal, all good. The first of the common rail diesels so a bit ahead of its time really. I had a proper chavvy set of white 17 inch rims on for a while, they looked really good against the paint but handled a bit iffy.


And the best.
2006 Subaru Legacy 3.0R Spec B. proper beast, and a decent Q-car too because nobody expects all that power coming at them. fast, comfy, toys, good sound from the STI quad pipes too, nice and smooth but with a blast when you boot it. Sadly missed.



Full history
1989 Nova 1.3 saloon. bad car
2001 Focus 1.6 hatch. good car

1998 Vectra 1.8 estate. bad car
2000 V40 1.9TD estate. good car

Re:

You know we want pictures! Is it a bad one, or is it still on the road?
