Short and easy journey, red Corsa 1.4, '93 model which I got from my grandfather with barely 30k on the clock in '04 I think it was:



Sold it when I moved to London, little or no point having a car where I was, TFL covered every need, and rental cars filled in the infrequent gaps.

Then, moved to Hawaii and drive one of these, a Honda Civic LX, '04 model:



Handles well, ample power under the bonnet, decent sized boot but nothing remotely interesting. It's very much a car that gets us from A-Z.

Both cars are auto, even though I learnt on and prefer manual. Automatic gearbox annoys the sweet merry hell out of me in both

See. I forgot to keep this thread updated. After my Grand Cherokee I ended up with one of these :



Geo Tracker. Better known to the rest of the world as a Suzuki Sidekick. Gutless as hell, noisy and uncomfortable. Cheap as chips on parts and would pull a u-turn inside a parking space.


Traded that for this :





Sold it recently due to financial distress.

update! I've surprised a few people with this one but I'm absolutely loving a few creature comforts.



I've started a thread about him too
