My first Cabriolet also. Have wanted one since I was 17 and fell in love with MG's and Morgans. Love is fickel though and as soon as the CC appeared on the scene the other two were completely disregarded. When I enquired about buying a Morgan the waiting list was then 8 years! 6 months for a CC was nothing. Morgan never happened as I met my husband etc. etc. etc.

Heh, mine is short too ....

206 cc 1.6, coming soon.

I couldnt afford a car at university, so I waited, got a car when I got a job, and went the hole hog and bought a new one

Vince · Post by **Vince** » Sun Jul 21, 2002 12:35 pm

A pretty dull list really. The CC is the first time I've had a car because I wanted one rather than needed one:

Volkswagen 1302s (aka 1500cc Beetle)
Ford Fiesta 950
Ford Fiesta 1.1
Ford Fiesta 1.4s
Ford Fiesta 1.4 Ghia
Ford Escort 1.6 LX
Peugeot 206CC SE

I had too many to mention prior to leaving Scunthorpe as my parents have a garage, since then

MR2
XR3i Cab
No 33
206cc

PS didn't own a car for 4 years when my cab got stolen, only had it for 6 weeks, it was a crimbo present and got stolen on my birthday. Never got to drive it with the roof down. Partley to blame for me driving topless whenever poss.
