What car did your parents have?

[OneUmberJoker]

Micra

A lot and they broke down frequently. The ones I can remember: a Mini, a Datsun, Ford Escort. Couple of Volvos.

Motorbike and sidecar
Vauxhall Victor
Vauxhall Viva
Morris Minor
Austin 1100
Austin Allegro (The one with the weird square steering wheel)

That was it. My dad died in the late 70s and my mum never drove.

An Anglia
Peugeot 304
Fiat Mirafiori (one pink and one blue )
some type of Opel

When I was born a red Datsun with plastic covered seats which I remember would stick to you on hot days

then a succession of VW Passats (one of which was literally the colour of 💩) and Golfs. I eventually drove to Golf once I’d passed my test (1996). I remember having to put my foot down on the golf on a motorway slip road and hope to God that I’d get up to a reasonably decent speed before attempting to merge on.

My dad had an Austin Cambridge, then a Rover, then a few Ford Granadas.

My mum had a little mini when I was little, then a mini clubman for years and years.

That was in the 60s/70s

Latterly mother has had an A Class Mercedes - it's a 2006 reg and has 7,500 miles on the clock. She's hasn't driven it for two years!

Ford Anglia, followed by a Cortina.

Ahhhhhh thanks for saying this.
I spotted another one a few days ago that’s apparently competing with this one for queen status. That posters name is something like “one pithy kitty”

Rover
Saab
Polo

Mum a VW, Dad a Porche and a Range Rover

It was a "company car". My friends in school thought we were very posh. We didn't have a garage so my dad hired one in a nearby street for it.

That's when people had respect I suppose.

Someone drove into the back of my dad's Renault 16 so he replaced it with an almost identical one. The reg was OML 738E. Funny the things you remember....

Escort

blue mk 1
red mk 2
green mk 3

then I think they got a cavalier

Hillman Avenger, Cortina Mk.II, capri Mk.I, Ford Zephyr - but not in that order. The Zephyr was a head turner.

Ford Corsair
Ford Escort × 2

Vauxhall Victor

Brown Austin Maxi. I can remember the reg plate too!
Followed by a Princess. Also brown.

Vauxhall Chevette. V embarrassing.

Fiat 100 called snoopy
skoda called Hoppo
followed by several more Skodas, excellent cars

Fiat Panda
Ford Orion

That was 30 years ago and I can still remember the registration numbers

Golf
Fiesta

Mini metro

and anything else his mates would pass on. No insurance or license due to drink driving

dunno how I’m still alive tbh . He’s not.

Zephyr

Anglia, then Cortina and then volvo Estate when we were growing up

I remember all my and my parents’ car numberplates. They are a very handy basis for making up passwords!

What a good idea! Must remember that next time I need a new password.
