Common thing linking all the cars, they are all hatchbacks and they are all ugly as sin. Well the Plymouth Colt Vista was sort of cute.

Age 29

Only five cars, but cars 2+3 have a special little bond, just by sheer coincidence! (bonus points?!)

1995 - Austin Metro
1996 - Rover 213 (Reg plate F283 MSH)
1998 - Rover 213 (Reg plate F284 MSH)
2000 - Proton Lynx
2003 - Daewoo Nexia

I liked the Rovers, and both ended up at the local fire station for RTA excercises - much better than being scrapped.

A couple of months ago I changed the Fiat for a 1998 Ford Mondeo.

I always pictured Leo as driving a Vanden Plas Princess with a loud rod knocking.

My list is here, but presently the 2nd car is a 1988 Dodge Shadow bought from Ed Jurich. Nothing ever goes wrong with it, park it on the street anywhere.
