What cars have you owned?

[Filo]

From my list, I like the two X3's, I had the 2.0l d remapped, that gave me 185bhp, and was pretty quick on acceleration. The 2.5 petrol I have now is 218bhp, puts the the other one to shame, and so it should with two extra cylinders and 33bhp more, downside is I get 10mpg less 😳

Remember the Capri - I drove it at Cantley Park if you remember

Blimey I cant remember that John. Were we knocking golf balls about?

...by the way I spoke to Cliff Robinson the other day so he's still with us. He has a very impressive new rug on top.

I wish that I still had the TR4. ☹️
The last three times that I've bought a car I've said this could be my last but was so disappointed with my second Meriva not being a patch on the first I only had it a year and got the Mokka automatic.

after I retired I did a bit of casual work driving Bentleys and Rolls but there was always a long wooden box in the back. I dreaded the day anyone ever spoke to me from behind

[DaveDRFC]

Started driving in 2000 and had the following.

1986 Ford Escort 1.3 petrol
1990 Vauxhall Astra Hatch 1.6 petrol
1986 Rover 214 petrol that I bought for a quid
1990 Ford Orion 1.6 petrol
1997 Peugeot 306 1.9 TDI diesel
1998 Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 T Spark petrol
2001 Vauxhall Astra Coupe 2.2 petrol
1998 Vauxhall Astra Hatch 1.6 petrol
2001 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0 petrol
2004 Alfa Romeo 156 1.9 JTDM diesel
2004 Seat Ibiza 1.9 TDI diesel
2007 Honda Civic 1.8 VTEC petrol
2008 Volkswagen Passat 1.9 TDI diesel
2016 Seat Ibiza FR 1.2 TSI petrol

During that time also had access to the wife's cars which have been

2005 Ford Ka 1.3 petrol
2009 Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4 TB petrol
2013 Seat Leon 1.2 TSI petrol
2015 Seat Leon 1.2 TSI petrol

I'm off looking for a new one on Sunday (can probably guess I get bored fairly easily!) and I fancy another Seat, probably a Leon FR estate but will see what I end up with.

So we went out with the intention of swapping my Ibiza for something new but ended up part exing the wife's Leon for a 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS 2.0 TDI. Not entirely sure how that happened but looking forward to getting it on Friday!

Watch where you park it Dave if it has a built in sat nav. They are breaking in and pinching the sat navs for the chips round round Leeds and Bradford.
About £300 to replace I think.

[wing commander]

  I like Seats,a well built motor and really reliable problem is they are pricey and even 2nd hand ones hold there value,so you can get easily swayed by something else that has more bells and whistles for a cheaper price...

Best car on my list was the Lexus 250...I kept that 8 years which is unheard of for me but I loved it...

[Bentley Bullet]

I always insist on seats.
