One of the many questions I seem to be asked by relative strangers - and of course, people who know me well - who are aware of my antics is: which car do I miss not having any more? Over the years, I've owned and driven some really lovely examples - private, company and many showroom demonstrators. You name it and there's every chance I've had a steer in one, from shagged-out jalopies to supercharged Jaguars, Rivas to Rolls-Royces. I seriously reckon that if I were to include buses, coaches and HGVs into the mixture, the number must surely be in its thousands - honestly! But sticking just with cars owned or run on company business, there have been some nice things over the years. Some that come to mind include a number of Saabs, a last of the line V-plate Rover 620Ti, a brace of Land Rovers and various VAG products. To come to an ultimate decision as to which one I look back to with rose-tinted fondness isn't as hard as you might imagine. Of all the motors I have been the incumbent of since 1989 - the year I qualified to be a public nuisance on the highway - the one I miss most of all is a 1990 Rover Montego 1600LX.
