1986 Ford Escort 1.6 Laser

Mum's old company car
passed my test in it
1986 Ford Escort 1.6 Laser
I used to love this car. I liked it so much that I got the XR2 which in my eyes was a scaled down version with all the same dash layout and controls. It was my 3rd attempt at my driving test, and it was this car that gave me the right confidence

Renault 5 TS

Dads old racing car as he crashed it
Renault 5 TS
My Dad used to do a bit of racing in the 70's and crashed the old thing twice. It was fun going to see all the different race tracks in the country in our Transit van with the racing car on the trailer
1976 Vauxhall Chevette

My first car 1989 to 1991
1976 Vauxhall Chevette
The old dear went very well for her age. Mechanically she was a low mileage shover but the body work let her down, in the rain a puddle formed in the foot well via my feet on the pedals

1985 Ford Fiesta XR2 My 2nd car 1991 to 1998
1985 Ford Fiesta XR2
My second offence at motoring and I thought I had bought the whole ladder. Who can look back at a car they have had for 8 years without missing it?
My 3rd Car 2000 to 2001
1985 Ford Fiesta 1.1L
It was with fear I drove this thing in the wet, it just wanted to conk out all the time. The bonnet hinge went (this happened on the XR2 but I welded it) and I never got it done, so I also feared the hood flying through the window. Still for a 1.1 it was quick
1989 Ford Fiesta Popular 950 My 4th Car 2001 to 2002
1989 Ford Fiesta Popular 950
The gearbox was very worn on this old biddy and I used to think that the cogs would fly out of the engine bay through the dashboard. The last MOT I did produced so many holes I gave up on it. At least this one went o.k. in the wet
Peugeot 106 1.4 Diesel Mardi Gras My 5th Car 2004 to 20/3/08
Peugeot 106 1.4 Diesel Mardi Gras
I must say that the old Peugeot goes very well, it may not be a performer, but I don't drive fast now. The handling is very nice and the engine has bags of torque, I get about 65 mpg out of it (ok I'm sad now)
Sold at auction for �390 (331.84 after commision!)
Citroen 2CV6 Special 1982 X-Reg My 6th car 1.2010 to now
Ford Escort mk6 1.6 LXi 16valve Lisa's misc car
Ford Escort mk6 1.6 LXi 16valve
When Lisa's XR3i went wrong we sold it off and got this bus, I drove it to work for 2 years when we lived in the city and had only 1 car, then the Focus came along.
