My brothers cars were Always far more memorable.

I remember he had a ford pickup thing. Two skoda estelles that he rolled , two fiesta xr2's, then in 98 he had a brand new vtr , then he got an Orion then an omega and now the vectra estate..

I remember the older ones better from riding round in them when I was a kid with him and his mares thinkkg we were ace

My mums cars were always pretty boring.. Polo breadvan then a corsa b Sri in metallic green, then a tigra which I remember her hitting 120mph in on the way back from Blackpool late one night.. Then it was boring stuff as grandkids were coming.. Astra sxi, corsa c sxi then a yaris.. Corsa c was cool though.. First vauxhall I drove.

My dad has apparently had some cool cars in his time, mini clubman, mini Marcos and a fiesta supersport.. Now he has my mums old yaris

My mum and dad had a PUG 205 Gti as their first joint car.

My dad had an old M3 when i was about 4. 1992ish. I look at the pics now and it looks class, although he only has a couple and only had the car 8 months.

No pics, but the cars that sticked off the top of my head was my aunts first, an Austin Allegro, she tried killing it but failed. My mom's brown Meistro, and finally are Renault 21, clutch cable went twice, but it managed to get us rounf the Lake District without braking. Fav one she had from when I was alive was a Fiesta MkV Zetec S. Only cool car she's had. She drives a five door MkIV 1.25 Zetec Ghia now, still faster than my bloody car though. But before I came around. Two Jag XJS's, two Sapphire Cossie's, MkII XR2 fiesta, and a MkII Escort RS200.

we had a volvo 480




Which used to look quite comical towing a caravan. Used to have pop up head lights and as a kid remind me a bit of the Knightrider.

Bluebird - Executive of all things, was very comfy though with nice leather, not sure how it compares to a redtop but seemed quite fast as a kid
