1991 Fiat uno 45 FIRE in White 210
(999cc and 45bhp of pure fury and surprisingly tail happy handling with four whole gears....except the synchro was knackered on 3rd so it was double declutch job)
1995 Fiat Punto 55s in Swift Red
(One or two shades of red per body panel but possibly the best car I owned till current one, everything about it was wrong, no history, lots of owners, previous crash damage. Ran like clock work and took a beating everyday with no complaints other than oil leaks.)
1998 Fiat Punto 85 Elx in steel grey
(Should have been the best car I owned, looked immaculate, fully historied, nowt but issues from day one and after i'd sorted those destroyed itself at 62k, still it looked great when they towed it away...somebody re engined it but by that point i'd had and spent enough)
2006 Suzuki Swift
(more issues than you would think but now they are sorted its going great.)

1) daewoo nexia 1.5 single overhead cam, still have her now, shes my project car :) love the car, and she turns heads as is not a common car, loud to now with the induction :p

2) got my fiat grande 1.3 multijet because my daewoo couldn't have done my daily commute of 160 miles round trip. i think it would have killed her within a week, so got a good reliable diesel car. no regrets, and i love her :)), juts wish she had the power of my dads 1.9 stilo tdi :s lol.
 
  1. 1991 1.6 Ford Escort GLX in white - had definitely been clocked and when the starter motor went, I replaced it and got shot of.
  2. 1995 Rover 414i in white - don't ask me why - head gasket went, so had a local garage bodge it until I traded in to the criminals at Cargiant... What goes around, comes around :D
  3. 2004 1.4 Ford Fiesta Zetec in blue - was unbelievably slow and I swear it shouldn't have been so bad. My friend's 1.1 Punto would outrun it... So that car got the elbow.
  4. 2005 1.6 TDCi Ford Focus Ghia in black - This was an unreliable car and Ford's warranty, though not half as bad as FIAT's, was still poor. The alternator failed twice, pieces of trim kept coming off, there was an alarming vibrating noise and so on. So that went, especially as I wanted petrol again.
  5. 2004 1.8 Vauxhall Astra SRi in silver - had this car for two years and it was the most reliable of my vehicles. I do regret getting shot of it, but I wanted something faster. Still see her around sometimes, too! Shame the current keepers don't seem to be keeping her as well as I did :(
  6. 2006 1.9 MJ FIAT Grande Punto Sporting in blue - enough said...
