Can't help but notice the lists of cars people have owned, how about complete lists, from first to latest? Here is mine, as best as I can remember the details:

60's 'square' Red Austin Healey midget, sills rusted off.
63 Red Sunbeam Alpine, rear arches rusted off, 183 CLE
63 mk1 Lotus Cortina, A frame, cheshunt built, mate promised to weld, never saw mate or car again. 8 TRO
75 Dark Blue Triumph 2.5 pi. WLE 784M
Company cars for a few years.
70's Renault estate, pale green, cost £50.00, awful, more rust than body, but it was cheap.
77 or 78 dark blue mk 2 Capri. BLP 290Y
Maroon Vauxhall Senator 2.5.
Silver Ford Granada 2.8 Ghia.
More company cars AND:
73 VW 1303 Cabrio, Black, Rusted apart.
89 MK1 Mazda MX5, Red, sills rusted.
E36 BMW 328i, silver. My niece has it now and never washes it.
03 996 Cabrio C2 manual, silver. Next...?

Anyone else.....

I am not going to do this Nick cos I am so old and have had so many cars(and bikes) I can't remember, but if I just say that my first car was am Austin Devon, and some time later a Mark 1 Alpine (1954) you will get the idea :( :(

Paul, Subaru? What is it with them and those big bore exhausts? Very fast, and now very cheap, how annoying is that?

Sam, start remembering, I am sure it would be fascinating if the ones you mention are anything to go by! Bikes? The only way I got the Porsche was by telling wife I wanted a Harley! When she forbade that, I said it will have to be a Porsche then.

Not sure really, never been into that side! I had my first one in 97 when no-one knew what they were. The second one was the Richard Burns special edition which my wife has never forgiven me for selling, she's still annoyed about it 5 years later :D
