I've got a Mini Cooper S because I like to show my effeminate side whilst also going a bit fast. Although at the moment I'm using the girlfriends 106 as I am too lazy and skint to tax, MOT and insure mine.

1997 Toyota Picnic people carrier - 2.2 turbo diesel, great to drive, can get whole family + dog on camping holidays with a top box and can also fit my whole market stall and stock in it. I am convinced this car will last forever - the only work we have ever had to do on it was to replace a fuel tank which had a small leak - it has 170k on the clock and no rust whatsoever. The best car ever.

P Reg 1996 Fiat  Turbo convertable.....140,000 miles on the clock but straight through the MOT last month with nothing wrong....like shite of a shovel is the plus side,the downside being its hard work getting kids seats in/out the back.........especially a week after an operation  Cheesy
I keep thinking of getting rid but it is so reliable i would be daft.

Family bus - Honda CRV - does everything I need and more.

Also have a Focus to commute - great to drive but build quality is typical Ford.

Ford Fiesta '03 plate. Brought it because it had very low milage at the time and managed to knock a bit of money off it too to fit my price range. Has flown through every MOT since i've had it.

A Volvo C70 because I think it's a nice car, yet in no way showy, which is what I like in a car.

Had a Ford KA but had to scrap it this week because it would cost a bundle of money to get through its MOT

Volvo V50. And I don't even wear polo neck jumpers. Because they look nice and are mostly reliable.

I do about 40k a year so buy cars with about 60 - 70k on the clock that are reliable but old.  At the moment have a 51 plate toyota avensis.  Comfortable enough and good for long drives. Not yet failed me in 50k miles.

Previously had a ford escort estate which failed me constantly.  Bought for £1400 and spent about 2.5k on repairs in 2 years.  Shocking motor.
