I once had an Austin Maestro.

I once had a Austin Maxi that I taught the ex wife to drive in, she took her test in it and at the end the examiner genuinely said to her " if you can point this round town you can drive anything"  wiggle the gearstick and pick anything that feels like a gear.

[MrFrost]

I drive this:



2011 Fiesta Zetec S. Had it from new, is an absolute dream. My 3rd Fiesta, the first one got stolen, I wrote the second one off. 

I wouldn't take a shit in the back of one of them.

LOL

[Thinwhiteduke]

2004 Citroen Xsara Picasso 2.0 hdi.

Owned it since 2006 and mechanically has cost me jack shit, sailed through all MOT's, reliable,  economical and loads of room for the kids.

Absolutely the best car I have owned from a cost perspective and has never let me down.

[Wild Rover]

Dodge Avenger 2.0CDI. Great car , Cheap as chips, drive with care 70 mpg, drive a bit hard 60 mpg, throttle back still over 40. Insurance cheap, Road tax more than manageable. had 3 years now . Only bad thing is Tyre size, they are meant for 4x4 so tad expensive.

[Mr1Croft]

I had a maroon 1998 fiesta 1.3. Was my first car and had it for 2 years till bottom end of engine went a couple of months back. Still got the car mind, I'm too attached to scrap it!

Now driving a 2.0 Peaguot 307 HDI...

[knockers]

Mine's a beige 1988 VW T25 1.6TD campervan. It was imported from Germany three years ago so is LHD.
Some of you must have got stuck behind me around Doncaster at some point as it's my daily driver.
+ point is that it has a full size double bed, fridge and cooker 

[Al4475]

I'm not a car expert so I don't know the ins and outs of em all but...

I started with my Dad's Left Hand Drive leyland DAF Sherpa minibus!
My own first car was a Vauxhall Nova (G plate)
Then a Ford Escort (E plate - given to me by my ex-girlfriend's Dad)
Followed by a Ford Sierra Cosworth thing (H Plate and very nice indeed) -but I didn't even know it was a Cosworth (told you I was no expert!)
After that I was in Australia for a year so primarily drove a Ute and a Camper Van (both were Holdens which I think is the Aus equivalent of Vauxhalls.)
Then a Seat Arosa (T Plate)
Then a Fiesta (which was a 54 plate)
After that was the top car I've driven - Toyota Celica 1.8 VVTI on an 03 plate - Top b*llocks Gorgeous motor - I want her back!
When I was out of work for a while I cashed in on the Celica and have since shared 2 Toyota Yaris' with Mrs4475.
We're looking at the moment at upsizing to a Toyota Verso, but I really want a Celica back or a Toyota GT86.

Very mixed bunch!

2L Estate version? thats the one I had 2 tone metallic silver and blue massive car with the back seats down,  the ex had it when we split up and within 3 months she wrapped it round the only tree in a car park.
  I reckon it was cos she then realised how much it cost to insure (she'd always been on my insurance never had her own    )

mk5 VW Golf GTi DSG.

Love it to bits, so much fun, but getting nagged by the missus to swap for something more practical for our 1 year old (it's a 3 door). Considering a new GTD in five door, and couldn't live without the DSG gearbox.
