Owner of a few rusty old cars (much to my wife's annoyance).
100% the Panda. I've owned a 1.3 Multijet and 100HP so far, and a 4x4 is still on my wanted list. Never fancied a Ford Ka, even though they are pretty much the same under the skin.

This might be a stupid question but is that the same as a Vauxhall Carlton as well? Looks very familiar.

Well done, Jon. Looking forward to seeing videos on the Satria GTi. I nearly bought one back in the mid 2000's but a Peugeot 306GTi 6 won me over.

If you're comparing it to the Pontiac Aztek shouldn't it be known as the DFKDFC Glory? 😁

Is it a 1 litre Eco boost? If it is, I'd be curious to know how it handles the hills in Wales. My wife's one is absolutely plop. Give it a hill start to do on a steep incline and you can almost hear it cry, if you listen hard enough.

My Dad had a 2-Litre when I was younger, and it is still the most comfortable car I've ever ridden in. He had an SD1, a Senator, and a Granada after it, too.

I had one as a company car for around 2 years, covering about 100,000 miles. Most reliable car I've ever had. I missed that car when it went, even though it was quite bland.

IT has changed a lot since I started in it back in the early 90s. I don't really enjoy it these days. I spend most of my days wishing I was doing something else, like fixing the broken Panda 100HP in my garage.

Hardly anyone seems knows about these. They are on my list to buy at some point. Hopefully they are as enjoyable as my old Daihatsu Sirion Rally 2 (which was another relatively unknown hot hatch).

I have a real hankering for one of these but not sure I could live with LHD.

I'm now embarrassed to say that my Dad could have bought one back in 1991 for £190 when he was teaching me to drive. I told him I'd rather walk.

My favourite on a Sunday afternoon was to start doing my brakes and find out I'd lent someone my 7mm allen key. Unfortunately, I could never remember who so I've ended up with 3 or 4 Laser 7mm allen keys from Halfords in my tool box.
