1986 – 1987 Red Vauxhall Viva
1987 – 1987 Ford Escort Mk 2 Three door
1987 – 1988 Talbot Samba Sport (1360cc with twin Carbs with KN Filter, Stripped out ands straight through exhaust, like poo off a stick)

New Job
1988 – 1990 Yellow XR3 Slightly Tweaked with exhaust and KN filters
1990 – 1992 Blue XR3i not that impressed
1992 – 1993 Vauxhall Astra SR very lukewarm and wrote off by a reversing truck
1993 – 1997 Ford Fiesta XR2i slightly tweaked not bad

Getting married and 2 new house’s

1997 - 1999 Ford fiesta 1.1L (wouldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding)
1999 – 2000 Peugeot 205 (wife gets the new car so I get wife’s cast off)
2000 – 2003 Nissan Micra Mk2 (relative selling cheap not bad and fast around town)
2003 – 2009 Nissan X -Trail ( Not bad gets me the wife and the dogs places we need to go)
2009 – present Land Rover Freelander 2 (gets me the wife and the dogs places we need to go, only in more comfort )

Most fun car ( apart from my current Fl2) was Talbot Samba, some may giggle , but that little car could fly once did Durham to Billingham in under twenty minutes on back roads, would stick to the road like glue

2002 - 2004 1999 VW Golf Mk4 1.4E
2007 - 2010 1999 Land Rover Defender 90 TD5
2010 - 2007 FL2

What a difference the FL2 is compared to the Defender.
