Some of the truly crap cars from my past, and a few good 'uns:

Vauxhall Viva Mk2... well you've gotta start somewhere.
Capri Mk1 1600GT (hooligan's car #1)
Herald 13/60 convertible
Marina 1800 (the low point)
Dolomite Sprint
Spitfire Mk2 (did a victory roll in it - which both me and the Spit survived)
Audi 80 - first generation
Metro Turbo (actually a bit of a hoot to drive, given a smooth windey road... honest!)
Escort Mk2
Vauxhall Carlton 2.0CDX (company car: completely beige, inside and out)
Vauxhall Astra (until I totalled it)
Alfa 164 (another company car but this one a bit more fun)
Pug 205 GTI (a 1.6 first, and then the grin-making 1.9)
Toyota Corolla
Toyota MR2 Mk2
Nissan 200SX (hooligan's car #2)
Toyota Spacewagon
Vauxhall Sintra people carrier
Westfield SEi 1600 Ford X-Flow (still got that one after 27 years although it's a bit forlorn now in the garage - anyone fancy giving it a loving home?)
Audi A4 estate
Ford Galaxy
Mini Cooper JCW
Suzuki Swift (kids' runaround but quite good to drive)
Volvo XC60 D5
Skoda Yeti 4x4

Always wanted, but never got, a Triumph TR4 - I'm now in the market for a good one if anyone has one.

I was thinking that about the landrovers
Seems that them and campers attract the same crowd !!!!!

I’m hoping my Cali will be more reliable than a Land Rover! In fairness to my old Freelander, it wasn’t a bad one, but not a patch on the Japanese stuff i.e. Land Cruiser / Subaru.

Can't beet a Capri!

 

[Velma's Dad]

Can't beet a Capri!

The Mark 1 was a real motor (mine was a black 1600GT with no bumpers - not a gentleman's car). The Mark 2 was a 'hairdresser's coupe', except for the JPS version. Not sure what to say about the Mark 3 but the 3-litre V6 always looked the business when Bodie drove one sideways everywhere in The Professionals.
