PMSL @ the amount of blue oval cars we've all had and wonder if this would have been different living outside of Essex

 

Oh well, if we're gonna go down the company car route, where should I start........??

Fozzie, what was the Delta like?

 

Tissy beats you on that front I'm afraid

 

Maybe not

 

I had to include the company cars, I had company cars for about 6 years, the list would have been tiny otherwise and they were "mine". Although the Saab and the Audi I didn't have long.

The 'grale was awesome







Just a pity it became so unreliable, as most Lancias do unfortunately. Certainly was a head-turner though and cornered better than the scoob too!

 

Proper

 

That does look one clean car

I often have a look at them on e-bay, just bothers me about the reliability issues

There are more but i cant remember them all.

 

Perhaps I am being a little unfair. The car wasn't always unreliable, there were just a couple of niggly things that kept happening and couldn't be diagnosed properly, even by Lancia specialist garages. It did run fine for some time but after the few issues I didn't enjoy driving it because I was waiting for something to go wrong. If you don't enjoy it, whats the point? So it had to go.

 

I know that feeling

 

Unlike most of you mere sprogs, my history goes back to - wait for it! - 1961!!!

Nissan Sunny Estate 1500 1983/88 ,,
Ford Sierra 1.8 Estate 1988/90 ,,
Ford Sierra Ghia 2ltr. Estate 1990/93 ,,
Ford Modeo Si (I had this converted to turbo by Power Engineering) 1993/99
Subaru Impreza Turbo 1999/03 (lots of mods and goodies 270ish bhp)
Subaru Impreza STi 2003 to present (Again, lots of mods and 340bhp)

Did you notice how I went through the "sporty" period early on (well, sporty for those days!) Then the sensible "family" period then finally emerged into the classic "mid-life crisis" bit!
Some great memories there!

How do you do that then

 

Been around a bit longer than some of you, so had a chance to be in quite a few motors, some I remember, some I don’t.

Mid 70’s:
Escort Mk2
Hillman Humber
Simca 1100

Late 70’s, 80’s & 90’s:
Worked in the Motor Trade for 22 yrs and got Company Cars (always brand new ones) for most of that time. Had most of the British Leyland, Rover, Talbot, Simca (remember them?), Peugeot, Renault, Vauxhall, Toyota, Ford, Nissan, Hyundai, Honda range during those years – had cars on average for 6-8 weeks before they got changed, rarely had one for longer than that. I remember once having 5 cars in one month, every time I got one; the ruddy salesmen went and sold it! After a while, they just became bits of metal and were just tools to do the job (I did 40k-50k miles a year) so didn’t actually have the “pleasure” feeling that I get with my Scooby now.

00’s:
Left the Motor Trade, so no free car! Shock to the system, but got a cheap Astra 1.6 to run around in, then a Renault Clio Sport, then a GX Impreza, then a very brief (3 weeks) period with a Classic WRX, then P/X’d that to my current WRX and haven’t looked back since!
