So many, my escort rs turbo MK3 , absolutely loved it , it was written off by someone rear ending me.
Sierra sapphire cosworth , again loved it so much, written off when lent to a friend.
Opel manta GTE , literally rotted out from under me.
I could go on for loads as I used to change cars like my underwear, I was a mechanic by trade and car mad from a toddler. Always had at least three cars on my dad’s drive , mostly being fixed!
Do you know the one I loved the most and kept for over 7 years, my 2.8 pajero! Oh my I loved that car, that thing could tow a twin axle caravan and it felt like it wasn’t even there, I could change the head gasket on it in four hours I kid not, used to blow a lot then I found a hairline crack in the head, £400 full new head including everything, literally bolt on and go, never a problem again! Would I love another one if they sold the same one same body etc ,but new oh yes , could you imagine if they had the exact same on motability, would be great! They are tanks , I had someone pull out in front of me and left a pajero shape in the side of their car, the pajero had a scuffed bull bar and that was it. I felt so safe in that car, unfortunately would you believe i sold it because I couldn’t afford the fuel. Would have another one but couldn’t afford the running costs etc
