Ok, I am bored rigid.... and my wee van does not arrive till Thursday, so as I am suffering from cabin fever I thought I would try to remember all the vehicles I have ever owned... there are some real dogs in here.
In order of ownership...
Morris Minor.(cost £50, gear box fell out while I was learning to drive)
Little Volvo, (engine caught fire)
Opel Kadette..(Ripped off the sump in a beach car park)
Morris Ital. (automatic, nightmare and bright orange)
Renault 5 (brakes seized on)
Mk3 Escort (quite tidy but mechanically unsound)
Daihatsu soft top (Got stolen and driven into Itchen river)
Transit van ( Complete rustbox)
Princess.. (Got stolen, but got it back in one piece,, mores the pity)
Mk 3 escort ( Didn't learn the 1st time)
Ford Fiesta..( Gave up the ghost after 6 months)
Vauxhall Cavalier ( Sold it to a mate for £50 when I got my....)
Ford Mondeo Estate.. (Started to fall to bits, sold as scrap failed MOT)
Renault Megane.. (Crashed into central res of M27... scary)
Daihatsu sportrak..(felt safe but drunk fuel...)
I sold that three weeks ago and now I am waiting for my latest road buddy. So there, I have showed mine, who's gonna go next?  |

This is my list, as you can see, i didnt learn by my mistakes.
Mini 1000, sold as mot failure.
Austin 1800, sold because it was t@"d brown,
Vauxhall Cavalier, scrapped
Audi coupe, scrapped
Mini 1000, scrapped
Wolsey six, sold, couldnt keep up with the oil consuption.
Vauxhall Cavalier, scrapped,
Bedford rascal van, crashed.
Vauxhall corsa and Bedford rascal van, wife crashed the corsa, i sold the van because i had a company van,

My favorite out of these would have to have been the Wolsey six, 2.2 litre
straight six cylinder engine, front wheel drive, hydrolastic suspension, cornered like a dream, and went like s&@t of a shovel. |

| About 300 cars/vans/3wheelers & around 1,200 bikes. Ist car when I was11 & learnt to drive in it was a Jowett Bradford van. First legal road bike was a Honda CB92 125c.c. in 1967 aged 16. Very quick bike for those days. It was a little racer on the road. Far too many bikes to remember or list. Currently I own the following: Norton Commander rotaries 588c.c.,three off. Laverda 750S 1998,Laverda 750SF 1981, Norton Dominator 500c.c. 1959, Scotton 1934/1959 500c.c.,B.S.A. 350,two off,Egli Vincent 1000c.c. 1967, Honda RS250 plus a few more bikes in bits awaiting restoration, another ten in total. Current cars are a Vauxhall P.A. Cresta 1960 which is the car I drive every day, Straight 6 all iron engine 2,262 c.c. 25,000 miles in the last 3 years with free road tax. Bedford Midi diesel 5 DOOR van. Very rare with twin side loading doors. Rover 600 2 litre auto 1999.About 8 rascals, another 2 Crestas for repair & that is about it at present. They all keep me busy!!! Dell Boy |
