Here's mine, nothing terribly exciting at the moment:

2001 Alfa 147 - My current daily drive, bought on a bit of a whim about 3 weeks ago.
The list of jobs to do on it is about as long as Mr Tickle's arm and growing by the minute!

2000 Hyundai Accent - My last daily drive, dull but cheap and reliable...
Currently in reserve whilst I wait for the Alfa to explode.

2005 Renault Grand Scenic - My wife's bus

1992 Honda NTV650 - Currently SORN'd, but hoping to get it roadworthy for next summer.

I know how long Mr Tickles arm is, I read the book fairly regularly.

Heres mine at present:

2006 BMW 330d SE (hers)
2008 Renault Laguna 2.0 Dci (his)

I travel 100mile round trip from beautiful Shrewsbury to not so beautiful Birmingham so we swapped cars to keep the mileage down on the Beemer. Boo

Wifes daily ( or was it mine ) has now been replaced.

The Merc C230 was using far too much fuel given I am now doing a fair few more miles.. So it was sold and replaced with 52 plate Mondeo Ghia X TDCi estate.

Sadly the very reliable Merc seems to have been replaced with a less reliable car!! There's a few faults I was not expecting for a car with only 91K on the clock. My garage thinks the Dual Mass may need doing at some point although it could go on for a lot longer, and the Fuel pump or injectors may need doing as the car has exhibited a flashing glowplug lamp... Neither is a cheap job. But the car is nice otherwise.. Will replace with a X-Type or 525 Touring in a couple of years so just has to last that long and hold some value
