At least I now understand why you've never been attached to any car you've owned.

Edit: to be fair, Focus mk1 was great little car.

I thought the same but was to shy to say anything.

I only bought my first car 2013, a 3 series BMW. Had to get rid it of it when the boy was born in 2017. I miss it everyday when I'm getting into the dad mobile that is the Vauxhall Insignia.

Out of curiosity, why did you have to get rid of the 3er for an Insignia?

Boot space mainly, pushchair and all the stuff that comes with a baby.
The Insignia is massive in the back, 4 golf bags comfortably so I'm designated driver when we go away each year.

Only cars I’ve really missed are a Mini 1275 GT and a Mk1 Mazda MX-5.

Both great fun to drive. The Mini was insane, made every country lane feel like the Nordschleife and probably worth a decent amount now if it hadn’t been a rusty heap.

Loved the MX-5, I modified it a bit, it wasn’t fast but was a joy to drive. Had so much fun in that car but scrapped it after a friend borrowed it one day and drove it into a bus stop. Always regretted not keeping it and rebuilding it as a track car but the timing just wasn’t right.

I'm in the camp of I have no regrets because when I sold the car it was needed to be sold as it was a bit tired.

I must have run most of my later cars for at least 7 or 8 years, more in some cases, so I haven't owned that many.


Ford Escort Mk I (1.3 I think)

Ford Capri Mk 1 1/2 (Mk I body with new 2l Mk 2 engine)

Ford Capri 3.0 JPS

VW Scirocco 1.6 GTi

Ford Capri 2.8i (pattern there!)

Peugeot 405 Mi16 4x4 - great all-rounder.

Nissan Almera 2.0 Gti - as above

Honda Accord Tourer 2.2i - got this as a workhorse with a bit of power, and it does the job very well.

It passed its MOT but with 5 advisories and an engine management light on, it had to go

My missus' past 6 cars have all been Clios. She car shops quicker than she shops for clothes!
