Relative poverty restricted me to a 1995 Volvo 440 and before that a whole series of "bangers" which cost so little to buy and run.

The FL2 is the nicest and best car I've ever had.

What was your last motor before a FL2?

I've still got a saab convertible twin turbo diesel and before the FL2 we had another FL2 and before that another saab graced the drive,all in all we are loyal to both brands even tho saab are no more, i've had 6 saabs over the years and had not a moments trouble….but the FL2's have both had new clutches fitted  57 tambora flame SE mud flaps,side strips,twin s/roofs,18"HSE wheels,courtesy lights on w/mirrors



58 saab 93 convertible vector sport 1.9 TTid 180

07 mini cooper, before that Disco2, and before that Freelander1

Lovely black Jaguar XJ long wheel base with cream leather, before that Mercedes C Class estate in white. Other car currently MX-5 white with black electric hardtop.
