What Cars Have You Owned

[CBXRT]

Fair enough mate - Liberty GT wagon in manual is also a good car (if a little boring).

BF are the best buy for a T at the moment IMO - FG is a better car (but doesn't look as good to my eyes), but not worth the price difference. Trade in you will get shafted - try and sell privately and see how you go

Before I had my typhoon. I had a xr6t ute, which was a lemon! and my 32 Gtr which I still have and will never sell it

Lol.

Oh yeah I don't mind the lib gt wagons. But I think after owning two rexs I want to change to another engine type.

I hope you dont have a crook back as the fords are painful for getting kids out of at the shops etc due to the shape of the rear door access. I am a home dad with a 10month old girl now and with my fcked back it is the biggest killer as far as looking after her goes.

Another problem I had was the pram takes up the whole centre space in the boot (plus it weighed a sh!t load!) so for me I bought a maclaren stroller due to the light weight and its ability to fit length ways in the boot (towards the back seats) so takes up no room at all. She was in this since birth and I had no problems but should have seen the responses I got from people as this small baby in a stroller, lol.

Wouldn't give up my xr6t though unless I could get a turbo territory and that costs more money than I have atm!

If I had money then the TT or maybe a clubsport wagon and the ONLY reason for this is my bad back otherwise I would go the xr6t as you wont be disappointed mate

All cars have been petrol-engined; no diesels!

Some boring (if 'off-beat' first and second drives:

1994 KIA Pride 1.1 L in White; 1000 miles on it, and a month or two old when I bought it.

1998 KIA Pride 1.3 L in Cobalt Blue; bought new as KIA were selling them off at a discount.

Moving onto something a bit more serious:

2003 MG ZR+105 (1.4 L) in Solar Red; first proper car and only car I have actually had 'built-to-order'. Really fun warm hatch.

Now for the 'big' cars:

2005 MG ZTT 160 (1.8T) in Starlight Silver; bought a a result of MGRover going into admin, and the the adminisrators having a 'firesale'. Rapid and practical estate with good economy.

2007 Peugeot 407 Coupe 3.0 V6 Tiptronic auto in Aluminium with dark red leather seats; bought in 2008 when it was a year old but with only 35 miles on the clock (and at a discount). Very smooth and refined GT. Handling not quite as good as the MG ZTT. Done 19,500 miles in her. Front tyres last about 10,000 miles, reaers just about 18,000 miles. Did think of bringing out to OZ when I move out later this year (assuming visas) - but the Oz Government is rather strict on importing cars! And the cost of cars in Oz - Ouch!! Too used to UK prices!

My first car was my mums XF, which had been in the family since the car was 1 year old back in '87. It was given to me when I started uni in '97 and it was dead stock.

After many years of doing things to it this is how it looks today - http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/1986fordfalcon/P1070558.jpg

It was my only car and daily for about 10 years till I bought the BF XR6T which came along to share half of the driving duties. Now the BF is too good for me to drive around all the time so it mainly gets driven around after work and on sunny weekends.

Now I also have a cheap Hyundai Accent which is the daily but I still drive the XF or BF whenever I feel like it (which is usually after a few days of driving the girly Hyundai)
