Mums 1st car was a 63` Morris 1100

Dad also had a Fiat 126bis & an Uno 45 Spark in the 90`s[both of which I had off him, I gave my younger broher the uno & he promptly drove hard into the back of a Merk 190 writing it off!]

Dad also had British motorbikes till the mid 70`s, then Japanese mopeds till he had a big crash in the early 80`s.

I can go back a bit! There were a couple of cars my Dad had before World War II and he left a Ford 10 Model C in the garage while he was away helping the RAF to fight in North Africa. When he came back and married Mum in 1946 they sold the Ford to get married and got a: -
1929 BSA three wheeler
and followed on with
1930 Austin 7
1936 Ford 8
1936 Morris 10
1940 Citroen Traction Avant
1955 Morris Cowley (bought new and then later sold to finance new home)
1958 Ford 300E van
1953 Morris Oxford
1960 Morris Minor 1000 which my brother and I said had no room in the back so
1957 Morris Oxford Manumatic
1959 Standard Vanguard Vignale Estate which I took my driving test in
1961 Austin Cambridge
1964 Triumph 2000
1965 Austin 1800

1983 Ford Escort 1.6 Ghia Auto
1991 Austin Montego 1.6 Auto
1997 Hyundai Lantra Estate Auto which Mum still drives at age 83! It's now done 30k miles.

Phew!

My father's cars_

1969 Fiat 600
1973 Lada 1200
1971 Hanomag-Henschel F25
1976 Ford Taunus
1979 Peugeot 504 D
1984 Nissan Laurel 2.8 D
1995 Volvo 940 STW

Just to update, my parents have decided to get a new car, the Tempras done 15 good years & although its as new inside & out & the mechanicals are still all excellent(same mechanically as the Delta HF integrale but 8v & without the turbo), the electrics have been playing up, mainly age hardened wiring in the engine bay & some bad earths on minor things.

They want another estate ideally 1.6.

Mum wants an Astra or Vectra, Dad wants a Golf, but I`m trying to talk them into a Skoda Octavia...

I think I`ll have the Tempra off them, as I said its immaculate, the electrical issues are minor to me & its a big handy old box + is reasonably quick (I`ve had 125mph+ out of it!), even if it does handle like a jelly on skates...

In my case (cos I'm old), the list is very short:

Father:

1934 Chrysler convertible sedan (bought in 1948)
1956 VW Beetle (bought in 1956)
1960 Ford Anglia ? (bought in 1962)
1962 Vauxhall Velox (bought in 1965)
He stopped driving in 1966 and passed in 1977

Mother:

(none)

As for me, well I've had about 30 so far

Oh, there were several cars my parents and my major brother have had:

VW 1600 TL
VW Beetle (4 or 5, further specifiactions unknown)
VW K 70 (the only new car my father had ever bought. It was t-boned by a Mercedes)
Opel Ascona B 4-door
Ford Escort Mk II Turnier 2-door
Ford Escort Mk II 2-door hatchback
Ford Escort Mk III Turnier 2-door
Opel Rekord D 5-door Caravan
VW Derby Typ 86
VW Jetta 19E (ran into a tree )
VW Golf 19E (twice)
VW Golf III
Renault Twingo (we still have that horrible thing...)
Audi 80 B2 (repainted in Bluesmobile-Style *g*)
Talbot Horizon (had to be welded almost every week)
Renault 4 (dito)

and there must have been an Opel Ascona C for a short time (?!?)

Yes, the K 70 was a good choice. I bet the Mercedes driver must have been thinking the same shortly before the impact...



No, the Audi was my brother´s Bluesmobile back then, when he performed in a Blues Brothers-Coverband. My Bluesmobile was a 1983 Opel Rekord E in 1997 and it only lasted for one winter, because I drove it like Elwood did.

When the movie "Blues Brothers 2000" was released in Early 1998, a local cinema bought the wreck for promotion duties out of my garden (50 DM incl. a full gas tank), so I got rid of it.

Mom: There were probably more before I was born, but she hasn't told me about them.
Hillman Minx: first car.
MGB: She used this car on some huge road trip around the US that I've heard many stories of. My grandpa was going to restore it, but it ended up that he just stripped the body and it hung on the wall of his garage until he died. I think my grandma still has it in a storage unit somewhere. I don't know what colour it was, because grandpa stripped the paint off.
Mini: It was broken since before I could remember, and then my uncle fixed it up. I only remember riding in it once after that. It was red or orange and my uncle made a new dashboard out of wood paneling. It may actually have been a Beetle, I think it wasn't.
blue first generation Honda Accord: There may have been something between the Mini and this, but I was two or three, I can't remember. I do remember this one though. Sort of. I know the licence was NVC 742, the Camry kept the same plate.
'Toyota light blue' first generation Toyota Camry hatchback: She had this for a long, long time and I have a lot of good memories of it, but it slowly went to crap over the years. The last time I rode in it, it was stalling all the time and making some really bizzare noises. The interior was still nice (with the exception of a layer of dog hair on the back seat), but very few of the buttons did anything. She always complained about the blue tint on the top edge of the windshield and the pinstriping below the trim line because it was "so 80's it's embarrassing".
I used to know a guy who would thought it was really cool that my mom owned the first generations of Accord and Camry sequentially.
'87-'91 white Ford F150: My uncle gave it to us for some reason, and then bought it back later. I think maybe it was supposed to be mine, but I didn't have a licence yet. Nobody drove it, it just sat in the back yard.
white '93(I think) Toyota Corolla sedan (genericariffic!): I didn't have a car when she had this, so I borrowed it sometimes. It was really awful; no power, numb steering, alarming body roll, smelly. I used to wonder why auto journalists were always talking about 'soft touch plastics', because this had them and it was an alarming piece of crap.
The last owner broke off half the key in the ignition, so you could start it with anything that fit in the keyhole. Except sometimes that little key stub would get loose, and you'd sit there poking and jiggling at the keyhole for half an hour before it would get back in the right place.
red '5 Toyota Corolla: It's manual, she drives mostly on the highway and very conservatively, so she gets a billion MPG, and still complains about the price of gas. Surprisingly, it has no soft touch plastics and is a lot more cramped then the last one. I haven't driven it, so I don't know how much better it handles then the last one, but I know it's a lot. It seems to have trouble starting from a standing stop, it shudders a little, as if it was in second gear.
It's leased, so there's something else coming eventually. She agrees with me that the new Corollas are really awful looking, so I don't know what it'll be.

Dad: I'm sure there's a lot more I haven't heard about/don't remember, he goes through cars a lot faster then my mom.
'65 Mustang: All I know about this is that my mom crashed it.
Some old Volvo: It may have been pre-240, I may just be making that up.
orange first or second generation Toyota Corolla: Slowly fell apart over some period of time. He'd always park at the top of a hill, because the starter didn't work.
'79-'82 Ford LTD sedan and wagon: I'm totally guessing, I don't know what they were. I just remember he came to pick me up at preschool one day and his car had magically transformed from a sedan to a wagon (they were the same colour). Or from a wagon to a sedan, I forget which was first.
Many other gigantic station wagons: Probably? I was in preschool when he had the maybe-LTDs, but I was a teenager when he had the LeBaron.
white '77-'81 Chrysler LeBaron wagon: The first car I ever drove, just around the yard and driveway.
gold '84 Dodge Aries sedan: I don't remember much from when it was his, but this was my first car.
purple '89 Pontiac Safari: Conveniently for any time I need to mention it, wikipedia's illustration looks exactly like it. The Aries had some random thing wrong with it, so I took my drivers test in this, I made the instructor nervous when I squeezed between some parked cars and stopped traffic that was trying to merge ("this is a very large car, maybe you shouldn't do that"). Looking in the rear view mirror was like looking down a long maroon tunnel with some traffic off in the distance. I wish he'd told me he was selling this car, I would have bought it.
Plymouth Acclaim: This might have been my step mom's, I don't know what he drove between the Safari and;
Volvo 740: Worked for a few months, then the transmission blew, then something electrical happened. He wants to get it fixed, since he just bought a new transmission for it.
first generation Ford Taurus: replaced the Volvo, then something blew up, so it's sitting in his yard with no engine or transmission.
MkIII Honda Accord: Replaced the Taurus.
