So driving home from work I was reminiscing about my car list and feeling quite happy with some of the choices I've made. I then got to thinking what a non-car persons' ownership history might look like, which led me to remember what my wife's car history is. Since we've been together since she was 17, I can remember them all...

1988 Ford Fiesta MK2 Poplar 1.1

1997 Nissan Micra 1.0 (purple, obviously)

1994 Volkswagen Polo 1.6 GL (the booted one :()

Can't remember the year Rover 25 1.4 (lovely colour though, dark metallic blue)

From then on she's always had a company car through me.

Technically the latest MK1 MX5 Dakar is "hers" but we won't go there.

When you compare our ownership lists, you can tell who the car nut is!
