03 blue Subara Impreza STI PPP (fast as fook)

04 black Renault Clio Sport (LOTS of fun)

52 blue Vauxhall Astra Coupe Turbo (massive turbo lag!)

Mk 1 Fiesta Finesse (White)

Mk 2 Fiesta Sport (White)

Mk 3 Fiesta Ghia (Red - thought it wouldn't show the dirt as much as a white one)

Renault Clio mk1 16V (Burgundy(ish) - to show even less dirt than a red or white one) - Engine seized at 72k miles but it was a company car so I didn't care.

Peugeot 106Gti (Blue)

Peugeot 206Gti (Blue)

Toyota Corolla (Blue)

 

 

Focus Ghia (Blue, auto - fine for driving in traffic, shite in snow)

 

Next car soon - prob another Focus or Fiesta. Stuck with blue ones as they seem to show the dirt least of all.

 

Silver cars show the dirt least - factamundo

I'll remember that (possibly), thanks.

All these little engined cars! Ive got a 6 litre Yank Tank in the garage, mind you petrol is 15p a litre here. Had a 4.8L TVR Cerbera when I lived in the UK. That was a beast. As were the repair bills....

My Brother had a Mustang for 2 years, managed to get 20mpg on the run, awesome car though

 

TBH Green cars seem to be pretty good at hiding dirt. MY t4 was silver and always looked mucky..

Ok, I'll play...

 

First to last...

 

Y reg Peugeot 206 - first car I owned at the age of 21 and had it for about 3 years. Was alright actually, still being driven to this day.

 

T reg BMW 323 Saloon - bought this off my uncle and loved it. It died after 12 months (might have had something to do with my crashing through a wall on Smethurst Lane though!!).

 

51 reg Renault Megane 1.9dci - had this for about 12 months after the BMW and saved a fortune as I was driving to and from Chester every day - shit car though.

 

58 reg Audi TT - company car and quite obviously the best I've had!
