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!;

1973 Morris Marina 1.3 Deluxe Coupe (My Bairn)
1982 Ford Cortina 2.0GL Estate (For Sale soon)
1985 Ford Capri 1.6 Laser (For Sale very soon)
1985 Talbot Alpine 1.6 Minx
1990 Vauxhall Astra 1.6 Merit (Soon to be restored, VOR at the minute)
1992 Toyota Carina E 2.0 Executive
2000 Ford Cougar 2.5 V6 X Pack (My other bairn!)
2002 Mitsubishi Carisma 1.9 Di-D (Dad's Car)

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.

might have to end up selling the lot Stu
