OK then, Vauxhall Nova 2 door saloon 1.2 - in beige (known as the beige brick around the my college) Honda Accord Aerodeck 2.0i (known as the Beast for its tendencies to scare everyone with what seemed like brutal acceleration and cornering - well we were 18 at the time!) Dodge Dynasty 3.3 - I was in the states for a year and I need a cheap car. And it was cheap. And a typical yank tank too... Honda Civic 1.6 (the Beast had got old and tired...) The VX I tend to keep my cars a while. I'm now 27 and I've only had 5 cars. The VX I'm keeping indefinitely although I would like a Monaro with my company car allowance I might eventually get if I actually stop being on here and do some work for once... Oh bugger.

Cars I've owned, seems to be a rather short list compared to some: 1996 - White 89 Suzuki Samuri SJ413 Van back thing proudly known as the F@ck Truck at college. 1997 - Metallic Blue 95 Mazda MX-5 1.8i best car for driving memories 2000 - Blue apparently, looked more purple 94 Mk3 Golf 1.8 well I sold it for more than I paid for it. 2001 - Metalic Blue 95 Mazda MX-5 1.8i 2002 - Blue again looking kinda purple more than standard 93 300zx twin turbo (well it was a fairlady, Jap import). 2003/4 - The waiting list was still long Black 53 Mini One 1.6 even chipped I felt less than adequate. 2005 - Silver 03 VX220 NA the best car I've owned, love it to bits and at the moment you'll have to pry my cold dead hands off it. Driven a whole load of other cars, including some exotica. But nothing has made me smile like the VX.
