Fiat Strada 65cl
Mtb gt black, rubber bumpers hit a tree with it :(
Morris Marina van
Peugeot 205 1.3
1979 Mercedes 280E
Vauxhall Astra auto (cheap car bought off family
£600 Honda Accord - great car, wife hated it.
Honda Shuttle 2.3 (bought for lugging bikes around but my favourite car, reliable, comfy, and phenomenal load carrying- once took a large oak sideboard, a 1968 bsa bantam and loads of other crap in the back to Ireland )
Toyota verso, again bought for lugging bikes, hated it but it lasted for ages.
My II VW golf 1.8 auto, liked it but tried to kill me.
Presently have a Vauxhall combo van 1.7td ex British Gas, noisy, not comfortable, driver’s window doesn’t work and had no coolant in it last time I checked (5 litres to top it up - oops)but has done down to Morzine with mtbs and over to Kerry a few times without issue. Wife really hates it but my driver of choice and a Honda Accord 2.0 - strangely haven driven lots of Hondas and liked them haven’t gelled with this one. Always seems a bit vague at motorway speed
Never spent more than £3k on a car and have never really got into them in the same way as motorbikes. Bit spoilt in always had reasonable cars at work and were allowed to thrash them a when needed so cars at home have just been tools.
