Corsa 1.2, had a small crash then got offered a free shell with an x16xe so the 1.2 got stripped and scrapped.
Primera was only ever a temporary car so when I got the Combo, its time was up.
Grand Cherokee, I got a Navara that had a working heater and didn't stink of damp, neither of which I could say about the Jeep.

Corsa: Kept it on the drive intending to LET it and rebuild it but by the time came, it was too fucked with rust everywhere so I split and scrapped it.
A3: Shouldn't have got rid of that car, only lost £500 in 3 years of motoring and being a hatchback, it was a lot more suitable for me than my current Jag.
Disco 3: Unknown Engine/Gearbox problem which no one could identify but gave quotes ranging from £2,500 - £8,000 to fix and couldn't justify that level of expense. After we sold it, I found out on an owner's forum that it had previously been mapped and it was always much faster than the identical model owned by the mother-in-law which looking back would explain it possibly being a bad remap or bad section of map and could have been significantly cheaper to sort out!

Why do you even reply to these posts if all you do is spout random shit??? Is it to try and purposely get a rise from people??

Such a bawbag of a fella you've turned out. You came across as decent bloke when you first came on here as well.

Corsa C SXi - Wanted something bigger with more power.
Astra SRi CDTI 150 XP - Was in a position to get an VXR which I really wanted.
Astra VXR - Started doing alot of mileage for my job and 23mpg wasn't going to cut it.
Audi A4 - was coming up to 60k miles which topped out the warranty. Didnt fancy any hefty repair bills.
Currently got a 62 plate Skoda Octavia vRS and a 63 plate Clio Dynamique company whip. Wife drives my Octavia due to this. Love both cars tbh. Planning on keeping the Ocatvia for a few years as it is a perfect famly wagon, and good to drive and fully paid for. So far I've neve kept a car more than 2.5 years however.

1.1 Peugeot 106 - mechanically sound but looked like it had spent 38k of it's life in supermarket car parks
1.1 Saxo - bought pre-registered but wanted something a bit quicker
1.4 C3 - nice enough car, got it at a good price but wasn't really a young lads car
1.4 Corsa C SXI - loved this car but i sold it because i wanted to loose the boy racer image
1.6 307 - i did 50k in this car on a single oil change, it also sat for 12 months on the drive as i got a company car
1.2 Punto - i bought this as it was cheap, free insurance and road tax. I handed over the 307 and £1500 for a brand new car. I still had a company car and i used this when going on dates with some blond slut. The blond slut went and i got:-
1.8 Corsa SRI - i've still got this one
1.4 TSI Golf - I sold this as i got myself into debt and wanted to pay it off
308 - i've still got this one as well
1.3 CDTI - I bought this to commute so i could keep the 308 nice. The engine was rotton, i was starting to be low on funds again so had to go
I bought a company van while i had the Golf. I didn't really have any use for it so sold it on.
