1999-2000 : 1988 Ford Escort Estate 1.3 Red. Emergency buy because of the Metro. Didn't really know much about cars at the time, but being an estate, it was handy for lugging around my boyfriend's bass amp. Later sold to my Dad.

2000-2001 : 1990 Ford Fiesta Bonus 1.0 White. As basic as basic gets. No rear wiper, no intermittant wipe, stereo was only a radio without a tape player. I dont think it even had a clock! Got written off by a while van man less than a month after I'd finished paying for it. :-(

2007-2008 : 1997 Ford Puma 1.7 Cuirass Blue. Nicknamed Floosie, due to meeting a certain silver puma in secret locations. :lol:
