1973 Opel Kadett - donated to the scrap yard due to broken clutch cable and excessive body rust
1981 Opel Record - the ex kept that one and I have no idea what became of it
1991 Ford Escort GT - a perfectly adequate car that I sold to buy my ti
1998 318ti - ordered in the summer of '97 and just had his 10th birthday

It's a short but distinguished list. Those Opels were both great cars. I wanted to keep the Kadett as it ran really well for it's age and was fun to drive, but it was coming up for inspection and probably wouldn't have passed with all the rust.
