April 6, 201511 yr Yes, they've produced some great engines over time, the one in the Fiat 125 was memorable and their venerable 1372cc was a great all rounder. .
April 6, 201511 yr Oops, I forgot the 131 Mirafiori TC Sport that I owned in Germany, great for seeing off Golf GTI's, but rust OMG.
April 6, 201511 yr Two Focuses and, currently, a Vauxhall Meriva, have given me about 150,000 miles of reliable motoring. So far, touch wood, etc.
April 6, 201511 yr Two Focuses and, currently, a Vauxhall Meriva, have given me about 150,000 miles of reliable motoring. So far, touch wood, etc. Only 3 cars, but how many years of motoring? I used to clock up 25,000 a year.
April 6, 201511 yr Only 3 cars, but how many years of motoring? I used to clock up 25,000 a year. Last 12 years. Lots of different cars before that. Never really had a shed. Even my second hand Lada Samara did its job for the 12 months I had it.
April 6, 201511 yr I used to clock up 25,000 a year. I used to at one time too. Very different now, just passing 800 miles since last MOT as the new MOT comes due! That will really be a waste of time. .
April 6, 201511 yr Happily, I've always managed to avoid mega miles. Driving has become less pleasurable to me as traffic densities have increased. Of course, it's not my car that contributes to the jams, it's all those other selfish buggers who choose to be on the roads at the same time as me.
April 6, 201511 yr Oops, I forgot the 131 Mirafiori TC Sport that I owned in Germany, great for seeing off Golf GTI's, but rust OMG. I had a 124 Special T once. Nice little twin cam that revved like a sewing machine and a tight good handling car. Sills went when it was only three years old though. Had a diesel Uno once for a bit too and that was a dog.
April 6, 201511 yr I loved the look of the camshaft in the Strada, would look grand on the sideboard, a showmanship piece. Capri on the other hand, scrap at 30,000 miles.
April 6, 201511 yr Of course, it's not my car that contributes to the jams, it's all those other selfish buggers who choose to be on the roads at the same time as me. Ditto, it's the ones going in the same direction who are the worst. .
