• We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!

Cars you have owned

My father had a 1971 Maxi 1750 and was quite inovative for it's time with it's fold-down bed and Hydrolastic suspension but it didn't half strip the nylon speedo drive if you changed down from fifth to third gear without matching the revs properly!
 
Fiesta
Golf
BMW 318
VW Touran
Ka
Picanto
Volvo V60
Audi A3 Quattro

Two car household hence usually a big and wee car.
Prefer reliability but like looks, but I avoid getting sucked into the phwooaar factor with cars, as at the end of the day id rather spend my hard earned on other stuff, not having the luck of getting a company car which seems to be the case for most folk with many cars.
Considering going for a lease next time to cut down on ownership costs, but then the Volvo will go for donkeys years and it's a great car. So maybe the phwooaaar will kick in again ha ha
