First topic message reminder :

State what car you've had and at what stage in your life you have bought it. I'll start the ball rolling. Could be a bit of fun

First car Ford Anglia

Best car New Mondeo (UK)

Now retired and 12 Year old Lancia (BG)

Basically I started with crap, got a decent car when I had a few bob, now I'm retired

Lets see what there is about.

My very first car was an Hilman imp and we went everywhere together I had it for about 6 years and when it was time for it to go I was so upset and I can even now remember crying it was just like losing and old friend

I remember the Imp I think they were also used for rallying but I could be wrong my grey matter is very grey now but going back to the Imp I think one of the things I liked about it was the engine being in the bot and the sound it made was very different to any other but sadly I never owned one

Oh I :Hearts:my little Matiz

Her name is Charlotte
I bought her new almost 10 years ago, her birthday is 29 Dec
She is a little gem
She is reliable
She keeps me safe and dry in the winter months
She has never let me down
She has only 33000 on the clock
She is totally adorable even after 10 years
She is copper in colour and I love her

So what does that say about me

Must admit we used to call our old Ford Anglia The Fast Lady

Mind you never got more than 60 MPH out of it as it used to shake like a live a wild horse.

Just for the Imp fans. My Father in Law had one. I spent more time fixing it than he did driving it
Used to put something heavy in the luggage compartment to stop it wandering all over the road

My first car was a Ford Escort Mk1 - it was given to me as a gift for passing my test and said 'look it's Mr boring average 2.4 kids etc. At 18 years old this would not do so, off came the wheels, on went the alloys, on went the front and rear spoiler, on went the gloss black paint job and finally onto the bonnet went an airbrushed mural of a Gary Numan album cover.
Much better, this was now saying Mr Cool.

A few more motors of this ilk followed before life caught up with me and I had to settle for a standard Ford Cortina, wife pregnant, couldn't afford alloys, sadly she couldn't stand Gary Numan, I'd become Mr boring average 2.4 kids and my car screamed it at everyone.

The kids ( just 2, never managed the extra .4 ) slowly grew as did the wage packet so I finally arrived at a Ford Scorpio. It was black with alloy wheels, spoiler front and rear but alas by this time I had gone off Gary Numan.
Much better, this car said Mr Cool once again. Apart from having to turn round and scream "
No we're not there yet"
every so often.

Finally, at age 50, the kids had their own cars and I bought myself a bright red Hyundai Coupe 2.7 auto, OK it may be a poor mans Porsche but I loved it, I could really be Mr Cool in this car. But, looking in the mirror it wasn't Mr Cool looking back, it was a slightly chubby ( only from certain angles ) slightly balding ( only in certain light ) 50 year old with dodgy knees who had to crawl out of the car after a long journey.
Oh dear, this car was starting to say Mr Fool.

The Coupe had to go and I've now replaced it with a Volvo.
A car that screams at everyone "
here comes Mr Mature"


Well..... it's a Volvo S60 T5, fully loaded, full leather, built in TV, sat nav the works...

Here comes Mr COOL Mature.
