My parents aren't really car people, could well be the worst so far. :D

Dad: '95 Hyundai Accent 1.3 LSi (a horrible, horrible car, easily worse than my MK5 Escort. :p)
Mum: '01 Ford Ka 1.3i

Don't mind being seen in the Ka, but the Accent is just nasty. :(

Woohoo! I was embarrased to post my Dad's car untill I saw your post.

He drives a '01 Accent! And its rubbish! That said, he does about 2000 miles a year and got it for half price (he did some work for Hyundai heavy industries in the past).

Whenever I go back home, he tells me to take the car if I need to get somewhere... do I take it? Hell no! Bus will do, thanks!

You know, I was just thinking the very same thing :p

My dads had so many cars I can't remember, being in the motor trade (so has my mum come to think of it).
Currently:
Dad: R reg Xantia 1.9 TD Hatch
Mum: G reg Renault 21 2.0i Hatch Automatic
My dad's offered her a nice Laguna 2.0i Automatic (she can only drive autos with her current hip and leg problem), but she just won't be parted from her Renault 21!
Mine: L reg Mondeo 2.0 but just acquired a R reg Mondeo ST24.

:)

Dad- 03 mondeo ghia x v6 (2.5l) (his), VW touran 05 (pd130) (work)

Mum- doesn't drive....if you saw her drive you'd understand :/

Me- currently nothing, looking at moving back home and commuting for work next year though, in which case it'll be either a mk3 mondeo or maybe a 3 series BMW on a lease (need to do the maths...)

Dads got an 05 Mondeo TDCi. Wouldn't be embarassed to drive it, which is a good thing as thats probably what my next car will be :p

Mum drives an S plate Micra. Wouldn't say its embarassing to drive, its just stupidly small and uncomfortable.

Dad - 01 Rover 75 2.0V6 - definately not embarrassed to be seen driving this, lovely cruiser and quickish to boot. Absolute bast to park though as the rear visibility is brutal.

Mum - 05 Honda Jazz 1.2 - I use this mostly whenever mine is broken or cant be bothered to move all the cars around to get mine out. It's ok - underpowered, but ridiculously spacious.

Me - 92 Mini Mayfair 1.3 - More fun to drive than the other two :p

There aint a yellow line as long as your parked over it!;)

Its legally parked anyway i believe, because the double yellow isnt complete, if you look at the bottom right of the picture and it looks like theres not a t-bar at the end of the line either. I could be wrong though
