    X Reg Vauxhall Cavalier

    Passed my test in 92 aged 27. My brother gave it me for nowt. It was a right rust bucket so my boss at the time and me took it in his garage and spent endless hours tidying it up but all to no avail because the back axle seperated from the chassis whilst driving to work one morning so I sold it for scrap at a £50 profit.

    B reg Renault - cast off from my dad in 1997 ish

    it was old when I got it - 1984/5?

    can't remember what type it was but it was green and if it had been a ford it would have been a 'ghia' - what's the equivalent for renault?

    petrol gauge never worked right

    and I never gave it a name as we girls are supposed to do!
