What's Your Car History? :)

[Hando]

I probably have the worst car history on the site...

87 Zasatava Yugo 55 ....

That's pretty nasty but I think i can beat it.

My first car was a Talbot Samba

oh yes.

After that: VW Polo, Honda Civic, Golf, IS200, IS300.

neverfelt need for a car till i moved out of london in my 30s

passed car test at 35 first car Toyota RAV4 to get used to driving cars for a few months

second car Lexus IS300 still got it

other than cars Ive hired here and there thats pretty much all ive driven car wise

[jsj24uk]

My list as follows :-

1991 Vauxhall Cavalier 1.4 base model in white,

1991 Vauxhall Cavalier 2.0i CD in metallic gold,

1998 Nissan Micra 1.0 Ally in metallic orange,

2001 Peugeot 206 1.9 diesel (2nd worse car I've ever owned) in metallic blue,

2001 Peugeot 206 1.4 petrol automatic (worst car I've ever owned) in black,

2001 Lexus GS300 SE Nav in Sheldon Green (2nd best car I've ever owned),

Currently own -;

2004 Lexus LS430 in astral black (The best car I have ever owned)

2008 Nissan Micra 1.2 Initia auto in Silver (Driving school car)

Vauxhall's were by far the cheapest to repair, Peugeot's were always in constant need of very expensive repair and Peugeot dealerships are by far the worst dealers I have ever been too and will never be used by me again, eg £750.00 for cambelt change to a 206 diesel, Lexus dealers are by far the best in terms of sales and servicing where as Nissan does exactly what you expect. No frills cheap motoring.
