MK3 Cav was my first car and it was great. Bought it cheap with mega miles, added mega miles, sold it to a mate who added more, and eventually it was scrapped.....because of the alarm going wonky

Looked a bit like this......without the stripes and lights

Then bought this:

Also had this along the way:

i dont have any pic but ..

the first car i owned was a mini 1100 special. i was an apprentice mechanic and this was my project.
what a lovely vinyl roof.

my next was a triumph acclaim 1.3HL.

GOD it was the same colour too.

then this monster.

yugo 513.

then a montego estate

maestro.

allegro

another mini

then my first proper car.

audi 80 gte

facelift gte

astra mk1

ford sierra

fiesta mk2

then i met my wife and thanks to her my love of hondas grew.

1.5lsi coupe civic.

then along came our son.

so we bought a more sensible car.

my old 1.8 accord.

then the lude as we needed 2 cars.

then this 2.0 accord.

next the wife joined in with the love of lude.

due to finances getting tighter i decided to break mine and get betty the 4thgen civic.

sad, but i made a fair bit of money to clear a few out-goings.

then along came poppy.

Sell? I told myself I never would, but realistically I had it 18 months and it went up in value by 50% (after a little TLC here and there on my part) So, I was getting married and buying our first home, and I had a car in the garage worth a substantial amount.....

I sold at peak, so I don't regret it. I'd have another as they are a great sense of theatre every time you go out, but I'm starting to feel the same way about my lude TBH and there are a LOT of cars you could buy for the Stangs money. Like a nice Jag XK for example...
