Hi Phil. I see the Reliant Regal is not on your list. You ain't lived if you have never driven a Reliant 3 wheeler especially in the winter snows. LOL.

First 15 years Audi's, last 18+ years Panda's.

18 +years in the panda awsome dude i love mine..

I liked the Bond bug on wheeler dealers Arthur did you see it??

Hi Phil. Sure did. I lived next door to a man with a 3 wheeler who dug himself a pit so that he could get under it to do repairs.You can guess what happened when he drove over it.
It's the gospel truth.

Yes, 3x typ 141A, 750, 1000 and 1100 FIRE, 1x typ 169, 1242cc FIRE, and 2x typ 319 TwinAir Turbo.

I was taken to school in an original Fiat 500, learnt to drive on a Fiat 127 1050CL - great drive apart from the awful gear change.

Renault 12TS
Citroen 2CV
Vauxhall Astra Mk 1

As you see I've always preferred small cars with plenty of character.
I've really liked nearly all the cars I've owned - I should do as I spend enough time researching them. Notable exceptions were the Vauxhall Astra (rattles, vibrations and very unreliable), and the first model Punto. The Punto was duller than any Fiat I've had before or since - a low end model. But at introduction it had class leading interior room, and this was needed for a young family. After that we went two-cars with my wife driving the larger one - (Scenics, Qubo, Note).

Hi AlD i forgot to mention my Renault Clio 1.2 Grande. Complete @#$£ foot wells more like swimming pools all the time. Invested in a wet and dry Vax.Dogged the electricals. HAD IT 6 WEEKS THEN SCRAPPED IT.

Hi.
Two cars I forgot that no doubt due to them being terrible I eradicated them from my memory.
A 6 month old Yugo 45S, leaked like it had no roof, was dreadfully slow, noisy and a horrible driving position. I swerved a couple of months later to avoid an accident and the car rolled 5 times down an embankment and landed up right. I was totally unhurt not even a scratch, probably the cars saving grace. I was then bombarded with an angry farmer wanting the £50 to tow the car off his field. Well it started and I drove it out of his field to his total amazement. The 5 mile drive home with the front screen in the back and two other broken windows in winter plus the steering pulling like hell was a nightmare. The car was a write off but I kept it and sold off the engine and gearbox and other salvageable parts. I was glad to see it go but I needed an interim car. I bought a Fiat 127 for £30 It got me to work for three weeks but it was so rusty that you could see the light coming in between the floor and sills and it was none to sure footed on the road.
So I'd put both down as my worst cars ever.

Hi trev wharever happen to the yugo brand..I remember seeing a poster at a dealer saying " you can with a yugo" its like the Lada brand as well... when i lived in Hull their was a lot of Lada Riva mini cabs.. I also remember a car scrapper near the docks in hull importing lada for spares.
