Vehicular Memories
A friends tells me horror stories of the cars his father has owned, it's like a doomsday list of Australian automobile lemons. Leyland P76, Leyland Marrina, Holden Camira, HB Torana, TC Cortina, it just gets worse with retelling.
Inspired by this, and by miwahni recent tales of her own vehicular trials and tribulations, here's a meme to test the power of your memories.
List the cars you've owned, and if possible the cars your parents have owned as they have ferried you around your pre-licence life. Don't expect this level of detail for others, I'm a car nut remember? The cylinder reference is taken from another forum where the question was raised over the number of cylinders involved.

since I left home Dad has updated to a 2002 Holden Rodeo turbo diesel ute. At the time of my birth dad had only just replaced his Volkswagen Beetle with the EH but Mum still had her Beetle. The car for the masses I guess. But a Mini would have had more street cred...
