H reg vauxhall cavalier which had tinted windows, do miss that

1989 Left-hand drive Audi S2 coupe. Looked the dogs danglies, very rare, and went like shit off a hot shiny shovel (143mph according to the on-board computer!!!) and the best bit was.... it was a company car and didn't cost me a penny!!!!!

Well, apart from a load of tax as a BIK

Yup Golf GTi for me too - got it with 52 miles on the clock and it was just such a cracking car.

And then the Peugeot 406 coupe which I loved and would have kept for much longer had someone not totalled it for me. Not a happy bunny at all about that.

Had a 406 Coupe as a hire car for a couple of weeks in Nice a few years ago. Version only available in La France with 200bhp diesel under the bonnet. Nice car. Always thought they looked like a Ferrari 308 in some ways.

It was lovely and great to drive. They really do stick to the road like shit to a blanket (blame dad for that expression lol)

It was a company car but they had a buying policy as opposed to leasing.

I saw my arse when it arrived cos I was always told we had to have 4/5 door cars only.

So when some new guy rocked up in that, I was less than happy cos I'd just had a nice (but boring) Volvo S40.

Anyway, he got flirted after about 3 months so I was in the bosses office straight away asking for a car swap - and it worked

I'd had it about 2 years and then they transferred over to me when they changed the car policy and started to give us car allowances instead.

I'd had it a fortnight and bang, hit from behind at about 40/50mph, it was no more

The very sporty Peugeot 206 that I caused a 3 car crash in. It's not as fun as the yaris I have now to drive but the yaris is way more reliable.

My cherry red MG roadster, chrome spoke wheels and bumpers, white canvas roof, full tonneau, worth quite a bit now, and I still hanker for another one. I only sold it because my { EX } husband moaned that it hurt his back to get into. Should have got rid of him sooner and kept the car..oh if only !!

I had a 1968 Ford Mexico in fords version of British Racing Green, bought it on the Friday (in 1975), took K out for our 1st date on the Saturday, had to get rid of it after 3 months cos I couldn't afford the insurance but K and I are still together all these years later When I bought it though for some reason which I never found out it didn't have a front passenger seat

Mine was a Riley 1 1/2 lite drop head coupe, leather seats, twin overhead cam, registration FVM 227, named Belinda. Bought it from a Russian for £70 in 1960 in Barrow in Furness. Still have a picture of it. Sadly had to go for scrap some years later for 30 shillings. Very sad.

The road car was a 2.2 (well, 2172 if you want to be pikkie) but 'works' versions could have anything under the bonnet.

Christ - I'm starting to sound like a right 'Kevin' with all this geeky info!!! Need a good/bad woman to put a stop to it! Perky!!! You up yet, luv????????

Got to say that our Range Rover was a fantastic car, but being petrol and a V8 at that running costs were more than a little high, but for a car that does whatever you ask of it, it can't be beaten

Mine would be a black 1977 Pontiac Transam, sold it about five years ago, as fast as I'd restored it, someone offered to buy it, never got to even have a go in it.
