Tesla Model 3 Tomorrow, I begin another new chapter in “My life with cars” journey when I take delivery of a Tesla Model 3. The time had come to decide whether to keep the Audi A6 Avant, which apart from a few niggles, had been a great car, or to go with something else and […]
An itch that wouldn’t go away After three years with the Tiguan it was time to change again and as nice as the Tiguan was, this time I wanted (needed) something a little more exciting. However, it still needed to be practical as despite the kids having their own cars at home, I needed something […]
Purple Flares and White Platform Shoes The Touareg was fast approaching its third birthday and a choice had to be made, does it stay, or does it go? There were a few other factors to take into consideration this time. Our kids had grown up and both had passed their driving tests, we had grown […]
Farewell Jags it was great while it lasted Picking up from where I left off with the last post. I’d run the Jaguar XK for a couple of years and whilst it was a hugely impressive car it wasn’t really very practical. For example, I couldn’t fit my golf clubs in the boot or very […]
Jaguar XFS My first ever Jaguar was the chosen replacement and a shiny new 3.0XFS in metallic black was duly purchased. This was an oil burner (diesel) buy boy could it shift and it returned 40+ MPG on a run. Not many stories to share about the Jag XFS really. It’s a stunning car and […]
TVR Chimaera One day I stumbled across a very nice TVR Chimaera. I’d heard of the TVR brand, more from a poor reliability perspective, but I’d never really seen one up close and I’d never driven one before. It was sitting in the sun when I arrived, it was deep metallic red with a camel […]
Audi A4 I’m 40 and as a treat to myself I decide to buy my first brand new car. I had been really happy with the beemer so I tootled along to my local BMW dealer intent on buying a new car there and then. What happened next put me off BMW and to this […]
Vauxhall Carlton Next up is one of my most favorite cars a Vauxhall Carlton 2.0 in metallic brown. I bought it from the auction and took a risk on it as whilst it looked clean and the engine sounded good the front wheel bearing was seized solid so it couldn’t be driven. However, the risk […]
Opel Ascona Exit the Capri and welcome the Opel Ascona 1.9 Berlinetta in metallic green (the German equivalent of the Vauxhall Cavalier). Apart from having a persistent problem with condensation forming on the inside of the windows this was a nice car and very quick too for its time. I don’t really have much to […]
Ford Consul My next car was a Ford Consul (almost a Granada) in metallic brown NVK 375L. I’m not exactly sure why this is the only registration I can remember from my early cars but maybe it had something to do with the number of times I was stopped by the police that I remember […]
