We travel over England

How the heck have you managed to get through more than one car a year? Do you work for a scrapyard or something.

There does seem to be a fair few g reg's in there, I never noticed!

A lot of my cars I had for years garaged for weekends so I had 2 or 3 cars at one stage, RS2000, XR3i, RS Turb, Cossie etc were my weekend cars not day to day ones.

And I used to buy cars on a whim when they were cheap and move them on for a profit after doing a bit of work on them, not any more though, 4 of those cars I only owned for less than 2 weeks!

You couldn't have been doing it right with them if they destroyed your car, after anal ( more worryingly is it was with more than one welsh man )

Alfa Romeo Mito Cloverleaf... 150mph, unique, 40mpg, and the Top Gear cliche "you're not a true petrolhead until you've owned an Alfa".
