Yes Carlos, how’s tricks pal. What you been up to tonight?

A 1989 Fiat Tipo 1.4 sport … absolute flying machine … fastest thing on the road… used to cut out when I slowed down approaching roundabouts etc but if you flew the clutch and floored it then it’d kick back into action…. Was my first ever car in 2000 and both loved and hated it… but for £400 it was alright for a bit

Bought a 1969 mg midget in 1992. Like driving a roller skate, superb fun. It's been utterly reliable and has taken me on hikes to the Lake District, to Islay , around Wales, Eire and France. I've had loads of other classics* over the years, which gave cone and gone, but that Midget snd me are blood brothers. It stays.

This man owns 3 cars, and suggests he get's a bit to much heat from the boss* and can't stand radio 2. Bet that landy would be worth a few quid today?

Actually I owned a tuned Fiat Multipla, loved it. Advantage: No one would steal that car.

Now we have 2 cars. Hyundai Kona, Toyota Corolla.

Go on then, let's drill down into this.

A thread for the petrol heads. Can be the absolute heap you secretly miss or the motor you’ve worked long and hard to put on your drive.

There’s a good mix of ages on here so I’m hoping for some absolute bangers of yore.

Mine is my Hyundai i30 N performance which racked up more speeding fines and new tyres than an F1 team. Selling it to move abroad had me closer to tears than when my mother died.

Shout out to my old Peugeot which was so prone to overheating that you had to put the heater on full to vent the engine anytime the sun shined meaning I showed up to work looking like I’d been scuba diving

Not a petrol head as it happens, but for a young man who had a dog and went fishing that Montego Estate....

First car I bought as an adult was a 2 door Toyota Tacoma. It looked like a dog but had that dog in 'em and was a wonderful car to own until I had kids. My favorite is my current car, a mini-Canyonero (seats only 7). Here she is the first time I got her stuck.

Vauxhall's from Vivas onwards all my time - no luck with Fords .... now VW....

A P.O.S. Escort XR3i that was a sickening colour but only cost £800. But I did have 1 incredible evening in it with Emma and her friend Cara. I had a love/hate relationship with that car!
