1lt polo - my ex said I had to start off small, so we bought that and it was immaculate when I sold it, not a single scratch or mark or bump! So I got cocky and bought a 1.6 Hyundai coupe next (which my ex hated) and I scraped it off every wall, I swear it attracted lampposts!! The car was a piece of shit anyway, so for the two years I had it all I heard was "told ya so"

He grew out of eating my car when I made him sit in between the other kids in the back. His were the only legs I could reach between the seats to pinch when I could hear him chomping.

I had an old Mk4 Ford Cortina, an ex police car and driving that was a mixture of fun and utter lunacy being as we drove around South Armagh in it during the dark days.

still we survived even if it didn't (sold it to some travellers who promptly wrote it off when being chased by the guards.

A Mazda 121, a soft top little bubble car. Never had any trouble with it till the CV joint needed replacing. A so called friend told me it was a major problem with the axle and offered me 100 euro .

I knew nothing about the mechanics and taking the fecker at his word let him have it . He subsequently sold it on for 800 , I only found out by accident as I met the new owner on a building site in New bridge .

First one I only had for a few months was a Nissan almeara my dad bought me cause he was sick of me taking his car all the time!! Next I purchased myself a Honda integra. Snow white. White alloys. The works. Was a beaut. I was a whore in a honda!! Some ass broke into it and robbed the steering wheel and wrecked the steering column and the door so that was goodbye. I've had a few over the years.
