My old man's a little obsessed with Saab's owned 4 or 5 and worked for them for a period.

I've got its predecessor the 900, 3-door. Donated/bought on the cheap from my old man. It's like driving a super-fast tank while sitting in an armchair, and is indestructible. 128000 miles and counting.

Always fancied a Saab....preferably one of their planes as they were pretty useful but a 95 up would be okay.

I have also moved the odd Aston Martin, Bently Turbo's, shit loads of mercs and BMW's, and the odd Ferarri. The most interestin motor I ever moved was a VW something or other. Apparentley it was unique. The favourite I have moved has to be the VW Koenesig (Spelling definately wrong) from around the mid 70's. You shoulda have fucking heard the sound!

Was it a VW Phaeton? I don't think they're unique per se but I've never seen one anywhere which makes them pretty unique to me  Smiley


Moving the topic on, what would you prefer to drive - within reason - and why? I'd like to replace my 10 year old, 125,000 miles A3 with either an A1 or a Fabia vRS. I've driven both, the A1 was bloody quick for a 1.4.

FTO it was £800 sheets, supposed to last 3-6 months and 2 years on its still running like a dream.

Drives like a go kart and despite pressure to upgrade from the better half I cannot bear to part with it.

Have had numerous Merc C-Class for the past 4 or 5 years (new on every 6k courtesy of work!).

Just changed jobs and bought my wife a new car, so I've got her old C-Max. I only lived 1 mile away from my new job, so can walk, bike or drive...So I don't need a decent car.

C-Max is pretty good for transporting the nipper and all his accompaniments!

Got me thinking about my list of cars (and the Yamaha FS1E and RD 125LC that preceded it):

Austin Allegro
Fiat Strada
Renault 18
Nissan Sunny
Ford Fiesta
Citroen BX
Ford Escort
Rover 218
Citroen AX
Vauxhall Zafira
Vauxhall Agila
Toyota Sienna
Ford Focus
Renault Grand Scenic
Suzuki Swift

Next two may well be a Kia Rio and a Seat Alhambra/VW Sharan

As a white van man I very rarely drive the car I got which is an estate Daewoo Nubira.

I took it off a mate who was going to scrap it as it just failed its MOT and was quoted £400 to have a brake problem put right.
 He brought an Astra and I repaired the Daewoo and re-mot'd it for less than £75. Only 62,000 miles on its clock in its 12 year history and in perfect condition.

Hoping to own a Civic Type-R before year end.
