Volvo 245 GL (X plate)
VW polo C (F plate)
Vauxhall Carlton 2.0 Auto (G plate)
Saab 900 T16S (K plate)
Honda civic 1.4i (P plate)
Saab 9-5 2.3t SE estate (Y plate)

In order of acquisition, when we got the Carlton we became a 2 car household, and the Honda's going very soon to make room for a Fabia VRS.

All these cars are absolute and utter rubbish, you should be embarrassed!!  :-[ You might just as well have started a threads entitled "How many times have you suffered erectile dysfunction?" or "How can I stop wetting the bed?".  ;)
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

theyre all not too bad - my first metro was a good car and my first, the 306 is a good car, nothing wrong with that, the astravan was a company vehicle,as a tempory car after i wrote the pug off, the rover was a pile of sh**te that i bought as a cheap option when the van died(cambelt not my fault ::)), the civic was a really nice car(until i wrote it off), and the silvia is a really cool car(imo)

anyway apart from the obvious commer thing(!) what others have you had?
