Living in London, I've pretty much always had rubbish cars with the exception of a brief fling with bikes - when I worked in Central London.
G-reg Maestro - totalled - my fault
M-reg Maestro - driven to death
S-reg MX-5 1.8i - bit of a performance jump!
H-reg Astra estate - driven to death
E-reg Peugeot 505GTi - driven to death
51 Vespa 50cc - totalled - not my fault
Y Gilera Coguar - totalled - not my fault
M-reg Peugeot 306 - parked by the Thames and then flooded
51/2001 Passat TDi - 1st nice car since the MX-5
Now looking for something a bit bigger due to a baby, so considering:
Passat Estate
BMW 3/5 estate
Jag x-type estate
Anyone got any comments on those cars?
- Renault 5 Campus 1.1 - notable experience steam bellowing from the engine on the fast lane of a motorway!! (split water pipe)
- Ford Fiesta 1.25 LX (zetec) - totalled not my fault
- Nissan Sunny 1.3 F reg. suprisingly reliable until it broke
- Isuzu Trooper 3.1 swb diesel turbo
- Skoda Fabia 1.4 8v
- VW Passat TDI 1.9 (tuned) V nice
Boredom: I'd recommend the TDI 130 Passat Estate

Scary when you list them! Me and Lowe used to know a guy nicknamed 'Pigsy' (to jog Lowe's memory lol) that would blow any list apart! I kid you not, the lad had a new car every few days! He struggled to get private insurance, because the tried to say he was a trader due to all the changes!
