Good morning Wild Blueberry, and thanks for looking in.....
It's a good question is that WB, I reckon about eleven vehicles in all, I started off with three Mini's and used to drive like an idiot, but it's where I learned to take engines out and restore the bodywork due to the endless rusting. Happily bodywork lasts a lot longer these days, and I haven't got a clue what's under the bonnet (hood) of modern cars.
They have all earned special memories, the Mini's where I did all my courting..
..and eventually met Mrs Fox. It was all about speed in those days (on both counts) and comfort came second. But these days it's more about comfort and reliabilty (again on both counts..
) Strangely though, I bought a van in 2001 and became a self employed courier, and it was the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned.
Whether it's because I spent so much time in it driving around the country, and I got so attached to it, I would have to say it was my favourite out of all my motors. We did 300,000 miles together and it never let me down. We also made a lot of money together, but I took the lions share.....
I was sad to see it go after all of our adventures. I went on to buy a brand new identical van, the very first new vehicle I had ever owned, and although it was just as comfortable and reliable, the first van was my favourite....
