the old metro's were a pile of crap - me mum had two and were always trouble (remember spinning here "sport" metro on the A1 when I was an old boy) ... was attempting a hand brake turn on a slip road and the hand brake got stuck on (think they worked differently where the button worked in a different manner) - anyway ended up facing the opposite way in a slip road ...dont panic captain mannering  :D

Too many to list, but not many were sold on, they all seamed to die. The 1st was a Vauxhal chevett. I looked it untill the floor fell out one afternoon.

Stuart, whats the Passat cc like, i looked at it and liked it, but could not get the notion of paying more for less out of my mind and teh dealer was the nail in the coffin, but often wonder if i missed a good car?

The Passat CC has surprised me.

How often do I need to carry 5 people? Not often. Boot is huge, seats fold for more space. Looks better than normal Passat, is bigger inside.

I have the 2 ltr turbo petrol, 200bhp, nice engine. Air conditioned seats, great A road and motorway cruiser.

So over the standard Passat you miss one seat, but all the other parts just look and feel better.

Difficult to remember as there's been a number, but roughly in order:

Peugeot 106 D-turbo (great wee car!)

Alfa Romeo 155 Ti

Porsche Boxster 2.7 (986 facelift)

Nissan Primera 1.6

Porsche 911 GT3 Clubsport

Porsche Boxster 550 Spyder (2004 anniversary model)

Ford Escort 1.8TD

Ferrari 360 Modena

Porsche Boxster 3.2S (987)

Westfield Megablade

and the Current Fleet:

Porsche 911 Turbo (996)

Westfield Megabusa

Ferrari 512TR

I've left out the wife's cars which generally equal the family cars and I do more miles in than anything else, for example there's currently a Mazda 6 2.0 TS2 TD which is a brilliant car - 130K miles and drives like new, does babies, taking things to the tip and tows the westie to track....brilliant....
