Re: How many and what ?

As I have a new bus I thought I'd best update this

1976 escort Mk2 1.6 Ghia - written off bottom of lonsdale street
1975 Mk2 escort 1.1 pop (£40) autotested to death and scrapped
1974 Mk1 Escort 1300GT Rally prep'd and driven like a lunatic
1963 Ford Zephyr4. Sold to a plod who nicked my private number plate
1975 MGB GT sold to a bloke who cancelled the cheque, got money through small claims
1968 Triumph Vitesse Mk1 2 litre ( one of my favourite cars with the Zephyr ) bought for 400 quid and absolutely loved it, a proper Q car.
1981 Fiesta 1 litre ( swapped vitesse for it as they wouldn't insure Julie to learn in the Vit) written off on boxing day at huncoat on black ice at 15 mph
1988 Citroen BX - non descript but reliable old bus
1959 Austin A40 - written off when kids smashed window and let handbrake off on Westwood street.
1968 Moss Malvern ( Herald 13/60 based kit car like a morgan - was cursed! - given to friend to just get shut of.)
1995 Rover 418 SLD - written off at J19 by a 3.5 tonne vito 40mph rear shunt)
1986 VW golf - given to friend after standing unsed for 12 months as I'd bought..
1993 Alfa 155 Twin spark - converted to lpg in 2000
1994 Saab 9000 - gain LPG'd
1997 Volvo V70 2.5 turbo - yep, LPG'd
1997 Audi A8 4.2 Quattro Sport - LPG - lovely when it worked
2005 Honda Accord CDTI - boring white goods but reliable as the sun, died 12/2/2013 M6 J21 thanks to a Focus driver not seeing brake lights
