  15. Talbot Horizon Ford Escort mk III Nissan Bluebird Ford Orion L Ford Sierra GL Ford Mondaeo Renault Clio Rover GTI Vauxhall Tigra Ford Escort GTI mk III, Fait Punto Vauxhall Corsa Volkswagen Passat Peugeot 206 CC Ford Galaxy 1998 Ford Galaxy Ghia 2001 Seat Alambra Toyota RAV4 Suzuki Swift Jaguar X Type S 2005 Jaguar X Type Sport Premium 2008 Love the Ford Escort GTI, bought as a hobby car, one of my childhood iconic cars, however wasn't the best car I've bought, but it was fun. Went from a 1.1lt Escort L, to a Nissan Bluebirid GL what a step up, power and extras , The Talbot was my first car paid £300 for it solid car, vinyl seats you use to stick to in the summer, no air con, and a mono radio cassette , But have to say my 2008 Jaguar X Type has to be my favourite to date, simply because of the prestige Drive experience
  16. A couple of new bushes on anti roll bar, job done, quick and inexpensive, very happy
  17. Long drives, on a quiet road, sitting in the drivers seat as it glides effortlessly over the road
