Yours certainly are!  Twisted Evil

Dad:

Mk1 Cortina - with the CND type tailights. Fond memories of getting dragged out of bed to help bump start the bloody thing.
Mk2 Cortina Estate
Austin Maxi - various examples of this fine car over several years
Mk3 Cortina - in between Maxi's
Austin Princess
Vauxhall Chevette (or Shove-it as they were known, 2 of these)
Austin Maestro
Volvo 340

My dad had a fine selection of crap cars before he was taken ill and had his licence taken from him  Sad

Me

Mk2 Escort 1.6 Ghia - CNW344T - the dogs doo-dahs
Opel Kadett 1.6 SR - XHD380Y
VW Jetta 1.6 CL - C308HJX
Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6 Commander C829DNE (a true legend of a car)
Nissan Micra Equation(shite but needed something dependable for work)
Nissan Micra SE (see above, but with air-con)
Citroen C3 HDi Desire (had it nearly 5 years, does 60mpg+ week in week out and am well pleased with it, despite various snidey reviews).

As a younger chap I worked in the motor trade so got to drive all sorts of cars, from 911s to a Bentleys. Best car I've ever driven, Audi Quattro Turbo 20v (the original square shape). I'd have one of them tomorrow.
