Saw not one or two but three Saab 9000s today. What has the world come to?
Great big cars them. Two were in immaculate condition and driven by elderly ladies, the third one had definitely seen better days.

Re: Cars you never see anymore
I used to have a Marina estate!

We had an light blue Commer Imp that my dad converted to an estate for many years when I was a kid - LUF 702F (I think it's long since been scrapped)
