How many cars have you owned and what was the reason you got rid of each of them.

Mine:-
Renault 9 - Written off whilst messing around with the radio and I tried to take a corner after I'd passed it and hit the embankment.

Vauxhall Astra - MK1 Astra EXP with gold and black paint, a nice car but it got too rusty to go through the MOT.

Vauxhall Nova 1.3 - Died of natural causes.

Vauxhall Nova 1.3 - Couldn't start it so I left it in the town and when I returned it had been stolen.

Vauxhall Astra Mk2 - A rust bucket NEVER buy a car you haven't seen - a friend viewed it for me!

Vauxhall Astra 1.4 Hi Torque MK3 - Nice car but totally gutless and steering was heavy - I saw it on the road recently so it is still running. (Had a habit of breaking the hazard lights!)

Toyota Corolla GS - Most economical car I have owned but it had no power on the motorway and the gearbox was grinding a little in first. So when it hit 70,000 miles we sold it.

Rover 220 GTi - Killed 2 engines and a gearbox. Replaced almost every component in the car exept for the seats and chassis! I loved the car and this was my most modded car. I spend £1000's on it. Just got to expensive to run so I sold it to a guy from Spain who still gives me updates on it and it seems to be running fine now! I guess it needed the warmer weather.
