I suppose this is as good an opportunity as any to stick my first post in. I have 7 other cars aside from my Marina, 2 are going to be sold within the next couple of months, but the fleet is as follows, oldest first!;

I don't know if it will stay in my brain, but I'm planning to replace the Cougar in 3 or 4 Years time with either an MG ZT 260 V8 or a Vauxhall Monaro VXR V8, I hate small hot hatches, I like big cars with muscle!

Nissan Altima and a Mazda Protege - daily high mileage beaters... Don't bother google-ing them to see what they look like, they are both bland and ugly but I do alot of miles through idiot-rush hour and no Marina deserves that. My Marina stays locked up at home ... until the weekends.
