Mine was an N reg Toyota Corolla 1.3 GLI but......

Today I just bought a Y reg Civic 1.6 SE Executive.

Leather heated seats, climate control, CD, etc...

That brings us to 3 Hondas (How many in a full set?)

Katies has the Jazz, and I have the S and the Civic.

Between me and other half
Subaru Impreza Turbo 1997 Wagon

Pro's
Quick
Handles well
Lots of room

Cons
Expensive to insure
Crap on fuel

Shogun sport 54 plate commercial

Pro's
Used for work as massive in back
Pull's horsebox with ease

Cons
Only 2 seats
Big to park

Landy 90 2.5 petrol 1988
Pro's
Looks nice
Cheap to fix

Cons
Never use it
Crap on fuel


The impreza and landy will be sold soon to be replaced by a focus or similar. I would keep all of them if I had room to park them but space is a premium where we live
