With a few notable exceptions, I treat cars as a consumable. A bit like women treat a pair of tights

I shall have to sort pics out.

To be honest I expected Leon to have had more cars than that!

To update my list in this thread...

Notice the rear tyre off the ground?

I can't really include Tina's car as it's 100% hers. It's the same as my Blue Neon above but in white with the same wheels she had on her red one.

I somehow doubt I'll be changing vehicles again any time soon. I may add one to convert to electric drive, but I think I'll probably own the Jeep until it rusts to nothing or I kill myself in it in Moab taking it places you shouldn't walk let alone drive.

Places like this:

You'll be able to tell why I don't spend much time in motors from these:

My first car was a VW Beetle in Clementine. A fine example of how not to build a car. Engine in the wrong end, turned like a canal boat and got jammed in 4th (the highest gear) at the most inorportune moments. Paid £850 for it. Spent about £1000 on it to get it through two years of MOT's and then sold it for £700. The guy I sold it too burnt the brakes out on the M5 taking it home and had to get it recovered.

Next up is this bodge job:

I frequently got asked what the hell it was and if you recognised it as a Seat Cordoba - well done.

I got this back before Seat's were cool. It's one of the earliest models that VW put out. They did a pretty good job on the earliest Ibiza's and just stuck a cavernous saloon boot on the back and called it the Cordoba. It's exactly the same car up to the 2nd door pillar, but the extra weight in the back meant it had a tendancy to step out at the back on it's rather squishy suspension if you took a bend too fast. I was ready for it but my passengers rarely were.

Probably the uncoolest student car ever but I was able to move all my stuff around easily and I put over 90,000 miles on it in the 8 years I had it.
The fuel guage never worked in it and the passenger door handle was missing after it froze up solid and I pulled it right off trying to get the door open. I thought it was better than ripping the drivers side handle off.

I now have one of these:

It's another German one, dull but reliable. I've done 50K in it in the last 2 and a half years and it really is a wholly unremarkable car.

Fingers crossed my next will be one of these:
