bassy Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 i had an old blue mini and loved it till i needed a bigger car, can still remember the reg no, DGY 105T, if you lifted the mat you could see the road through the floor and i had to hold the choke out with a peg lol basic radio with on/off and volume button, but i had a sun roof and once drove from the east end to dagenham with a six foot cardboard cut out of john wayne sticking out of it (dont ask), passers by were waving at him ! oooo i miss that car !

Isabelle Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Any Rover [dec'd, I regret to say]. Reliable and British. My favourite car by far was my MGF. Sadly I had to get rid of it because I couldn't afford to keep it, but I took some solace in knowing it has gone to a nice new home. The man I sold it to bought it as a project and is renovating it. Sounds silly, but I would have hated to see it end up being scrapped. One day, when I have some money I will buy another one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the MX-5 I posted about on page 1 (in Sept 2011, and which we still have, of course ). For a long time (20+ years) I disdained German cars, Mercs & BMWs most of all...until we recently got our first (and current) one late last year: a C220 CDI, just like yours! Amongst the last-made W203 shape before the current 'angular' facelift, with 30k on (not even run in yet ). Feeling about it just like you, old tup. It's such a relaxing place to be in, and has done wonders towards curing my road rage tendencies, probably my arterial pressure too...After the string of Imprezas and the (really-) bad mistake that was the V50 I last had, it feels like an epiphany!

aliceBB Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 A Fiat Multipla. Best family car ever. Thanks to the two rows of three seats each, you can separate three squabbling children on long journeys in such a way that none of them can poke a pencil up anyone else's nose.

monkey104 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 My first car was a Renault 12Ts it was the first summer of freedom for me and my girlfriend (now wife) over 30 years ago. My favourite car is the one I have now, it's an 18 year old discovery that's had more mechanical and welding work than you thought was possible on a car. But it's now a sound car, looks like a skip but is great for chucking muddy dogs in the back, hunting and gutting dead stuff. I love it, and if we need to go anywhere clean we take the wife's car.
