Started off with
H reg Astra 1.4 Merit Estate
then
X reg Astra 1.8 CD Estate (company car)
R reg Mazda 626 2.0 Estate
S reg Omega MV6 3.0 Estate

not many in about 15 years of driving really, I get a car and look after it till the end of its days, although the 1st Astra was only 3 years old when I got it, making it my newest privately owned car.

I worked in a tyre shop in Fulham in the 70's and got to drive a lot of vehicles, most memorable were Roll Royce, Aston Martin DB5 (scared the sh*t out of me!) and a Chevvy Estate, just about got it into the fitting bay  8-)
