Story of Woe and Embarrasment
 
Seeing as we're all sharing our scary histories...

1 - Mk 1 Astra 1.3 L in Green (lovely!) Was written off by a nice gentleman in a van

2 - F-plate Austin Montego 2.0 HL in White/grey (It looked nice at the time!)

Then a huge list of company cars with a couple of month-long hires in between (usually a bloody focus!)

3 - Mondeo 1.8T LX - God, I hated that car!
4 - Sierra Estate (2.0 GLX) - Swapped it with someone else as it nearly killed me
5 - Cavalier SRi 130 in White
6 - Astra Estate (Mk 3)
7 - Passat Estate (Older shape) - Hated that too
8 - Rover 620 Ti - Great in a straight line, great in the dry, a death trap in the wet
9 - Laguna 2.0 Executive (with the BBC announcer voice) (rolled it into a field)
10 - Passat 1.8T Sport (loved it) - Pre Facelift
11 - Passat 1.8T Sport - Post Facelift (like the last one that much, and this was better)
12 - 'New' Astra Sri 200 - Like an air conditioned go-kart

Then got a new job with just an allowance... Was going to go for an A6 or another Passat, then while dicking about on Autotrader, saw:

13 - 1998 A8 4.2 QS and promptly bought it, loved it ever since.
