Mk1 Golf GTi 1.6 - Rear end write off at red light
Mk1 Golf GTi 1.8 - Rear end write off, at same lights as other!
Mk1 Golf "L" 1.1 - got t-boned a juntion
Seat Malaga - £50 + £20 for a choke kit, I'd lost interest in having a nice car at this point.
Astra Belmont 1.8 LXi - Proper Q-Car, and kept it for a LOOONG time.
At the same time, though not all at the same time! :
- 2x Astra GTE 2.0 8v
- 1x Astra GTE 2.9 16v
- 1x Astra SRI 1.8
- 1x Astra SXi 1.8
- Merc 230E
- Honda Prelude 2.2

Renault 19 1.8D (non-turbo) - Workhorse, and cheap while I was at uni!
Deawoo Esperro - Awful copy of an old Vauxhall Cav, but again, at uni, was cheap!
Honda Civic VTi - Wanted something a bit sporty.
Vectra 1.8 LS. - 6 years good service, and it's just died.

There are a few others like a couple of Metros, a few vans etc, but these are the ones I kept for more than a couple of weeks!
