What cars yer driven?

[Kris]

Following on from Luke's thread about bikes, I thought it might be interesting to see what cars BCf members have driven in the past. It doesn't have to be a long journey, just swerving round an empty Sainsbury's car park will count. Just remember to mention if you have a valid car license or not Kellog's licenses do not count btw Korn

I'll start then...

Austin Maestro 1.6L
Vauxhall Corsa 1.4
Peugeot 106
Renault Clio
Ford Mondeo
'69 Pontiac Firebird (6.6L )
Vauxhall Nova 1.2

No driving license.

(My old) Golf GTI 1.8 8v (on ice. )

[mr jamez]

BMW 3 something M something - just steering it
Metro - we hated that car so i got to change gears
Senator - steering again
Yaris - drove this round a car park on holiday when i was 13
Punto - round a car park
Mini HL - in a car park
pug 205 in a car park

And the best of all; my Mini all over the place and have got to a whopping 70mph so far

Oh and no i don't have a full license

[Bendy]

Hmmm. I've had a full license since I was 17 so there's been quite a few. Of course, I remember the early cars:

A wobbly blue Yugo.
A slightly less wobbly pea green Lada Riva.
My beloved Mk2 Golf that I had for years and years.

And then it all starts getting a bit fuzzy. I remember my mate's Cavalier with no brakes, the big Jaguar which my tech studies teacher let me have a go in, and borrowing my boss' new 206cc cabriolet which I really really wanted to keep.

Assorted rental cars, cars belonging to friends, cars belonging to friends parents (sometimes with permission, sometimes not) and various cars at work - currently the IT wagon is a dirty great Jeep that drinks petrol and breaks down a lot.

More recently I recall there was the brand new Renault Megane that I hired to drive to Scotland and then took G and Ste out for driving lessons in, and my first taste of an automatic - driving the big Merc that Kev had hired for his wedding. Also had my first go at reverse parking a long wheelbase transit that night.

Hired a 7.5 tonne lorry, but didn't fancy my first attempt at driving such a vehicle to be negotiating my way round the Tesco's carpark in Slough, so made Kev drive.


And of course, we cannot forget the majesty of the Joy machine. Oh the power, the handling...


... it's a one litre E-reg Micra.

Nissan 200sx into nextdoor's caravan

I don't have a driving license. Put my wife's Nissan into the neigbour's caravan when I was desperate to get my bike out to px it for the first Blade! My insurance was minutes away from running out on the R6, she was at work, "reverse it yourself" she said, "which part of I don't drive don't you understand" I said. So reverse it I did! God damned caravans!

Puegeot 106 GTi - The best toy I ever had - like a matchbox car with an engine, wish I still had it but I got too old to be a boy racer (and caps make me look stupid) so it had to go
Now Puegeot 307 HDi - Ageing maturity plays its' part with disastrous results
