hehe my dad drives a newish merc e320 estate. Its a nice car, but so much seems to go wrong with it, and the cost is a joke for the parts!

Mum nabs mine when she can, but shes getting a golf mk5 fairly soon.

Dad also has a beasty old VW Transporter from the 80's - its so much fun to drive!

Dad has a k-reg Rover 414 that for some reason he likes.

Mum doesn't drive much, when she does, it's normally my Mk2.

did at one point have all VW in the household:
dad - bora 1.9 130 TDi
bro- mk4 golf gti 1.8 20v turbo
sis - lupo 1.4 16v
me - polo 6n2 1.4 SE TDi

but since my bro wrote off the bora, my dads on his 3rd merc c-class in a row, current being 52 plate C220 CDi

bro moved onto a 51 plate BMW 330Ci, sis onto 53 plate mini cooper S

all the while my mums has had a lexus IS200 since 1998 which to this day has never broke down... hence im convinced of jap reliability! :shock:

me thinks i is due an upgrade soon :lol:
