Rather sad that although im 36 i only past my test just over 3 years ago. To many years drinking and drugging to bother driving. So far i have owned, Skoda Felecia 1.2 My first car and i loved it. Cruising along the by pass doing 80mph thinking the thing was going to full apart on me. Vauxhall Zafira 2.0 TDI That was initially Donnups car but she downsized and traded my Skoda in. One of the finest car's i have driven. Fast bugger and handled like a dream. Had to let it go due to computer issues that even Vauxhall couldn't get to the bottom of. Donnups traded it in for the Merc. Vauxhall Meriva 1.4 Struggled like hell to like that car after driving the Meriva's big brother. Served its purpose. Again similar computer issues meant it had to go. Rover S 25 It was cheap and i needed to make some money to buy some Prodigy tickets so traded the Meriva in for it plus £500. There were a lot of better motors in the garage i got it from but i needed those damm tickets. Major comedown really but needed a reliable motor and it did its job even though i looked like Noddy as my mate joyfully pointed out to me. Ford Focus Zetec 1.5 Was my car the first time i sat behind the wheel. My present car. Donnups traded the Merc and we got 2 cars. Drives like a dream and although i have had some power issues recently it drives almost as well as the Zafira. Zetec is wicked when it kicks in. The power issues i put down to the cold as since its become a bit milder it seems to have settled back down. I really want to get hold of a Focus Zetec S. Just pushes all my buttons in all the right places. That would be my ideal car but im a way off of getting one at the moment. Patience
