What car are you?

Just thinking about some of the threads on here for me thinking about my car ownership, it breaks down roughly like this:

Ford 7

Vauxhall 1

Bmw 1

Mercedes 1

Porsche 2

Volvo 4

Mazda 2

Fiat 1

Lancia 1

Triumph 1

Austin 2

MG 1

VW 3

Rover 2

Citroen 1

Robin Hood 1

Must be others I have forgotten

Then types of cars

Estate 7

Convertible 2

Saloon 4

Hatchback 6

Sports/ coupe 6

Others - whatever’s left.

 

So by my reckoning I am either Ford or Volvo and either estate or sports/ coupe. What are my main two cars at the moment? Volvo V70 and a Ford Capri. Result, I have my ideal cars.

That's a rough ballpark that at first glance would suggest Ford, but I've only owned about 4 of em I. The last 20 years. I've never thought of myself as Leyland man, so it must be Vauxhall ,but again it's been 18 years since my last ( an Omega)

So suffice to say I'm a mass market no badge barge, the sort that's extinct and nobody wants anymore...

 

Edit to add

Land Rover 8

Mazda 2

Datsun 2

None of which change anything especially as the Datsuns were a 260C and 200L !

About a third to half of the cars I have owned have been Volvos I think. Next I think was Ford and Vauxhall with seven each.

 

I am the Council Estate.

Four Fords - I'll be hitting my half century this year, and've been driving for a good three decades of that. So yeah. Four Fords. It's like I'm not even trying. My only defence is that half of them were shite when I bought them, and ended their lives even shiter (two mkII escorts), one got nicked (mk IV escort), and the fourth was a Focus bought from new which I'm still driving now, and is almost as shite as they come (not been washed for two years, inside looks like a skip, and despite my best efforts, this old car just will not leave Audis alone - such an aggressive machine at times!!). If my MKIV hadn't been half inched, I could possibly still be using that.
