    Well ... I can't say nowt.
    I wrote off one each of the fiats, the scenics, and the mk2gti's :rolleyes: ... All at below speed limit mind you, one with black ice, one by evasive action from oncoming t**t, and one thanks to a blow out ...
    but the missus doesn't mention any of that ;)

    Like this game :) Passed my test in 1996 and actually have a very short car history as I hate selling off the memories!

    1972 VW Beetle (Frances)
    1983 VW Mk 1 Golf GX (just before the 5 doors became popular for Euro look) (Lizzy)
    1996 VW 16V Polo (Mena)
    1976 VW Late Bay (Landyn)
    2005 Mazda 6... owned for 3 months until the piece of **** self destructed
    2005 VW Mk5 Golf GTi (Poppy)

    And yes they all have names and hence why they are rarely sold! Bumped the Mk1 Golf which was a little frustrating as it was a great little car!

    Trying to add another one to the list, but pre-xmas is a daft time to look for a car to buy.

    Used to borrow my mums brown 1500 in the early 80s when I only had the van. I tried for hours to get her not to buy it but it turned out to be really good and no I wasn't on drugs at the time. :)

    :lol:

    I inherited that Allegro from my Dad when he bought a Maestro back in 1985, that just kept going and going, got rustier too mind but that didn't stop it!
