    Escort 1 year
    Cavalier 18 months
    Corsa 2 years
    CRX 3 years
    Civic 4 years
    2 company Astra's 1 year each
    Cooper (R50) 2 years
    Cooper S (R56) -1 day

    Passed test in 1992 aged 19 yrs

    In owning order (but shown in cars ages) :

    1974 Mini Clubman
    1985 Mini City E
    1986 VW Polo 1.05 C
    1987 VW Golf 1.3C
    (then bought my first flat & therefore went back the way for a bit)
    1983 Mini City E
    1984 Austin Maestro 1.6 L
    1990 Rover Metro 1.1 C
    1996 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 Premier
    2001 VW Golf Gti 1.8T
    (it's called a divorce)
    1998 Peugeot 106 Zest 2
    2004 MINI Cooper (still own)
    2007 Fiesta 1.4 Zetec TDCi (gave to Karen )
    2003 Fiat Punto 1.2 Active (still own)

    = 13 cars in 26 years since passing my driving test in 1983. That's fairly sober I reckon, a change every couple of years.

    Canny wait to see Fiona's post , make rooooooooooooooooooom
