Cool thread. My short history:

Ford Fiesta (1.4l) - the car I learned to drive in, served me well
Marzda RX8 - first proper car, bought this after I passed my test
BMW Z4 Coupe - Bada bing!

 

[grayboots]

OK here's my list. Can't remember age of most of them and photos will be in the loft in a shoebox somewhere apart from the most recent ones. Still here goes...

Riley Elf (wish I still had it)
Austin 1300 (shed)
Ford Cortina Mk3 1.6L (coke bottle shape. Lovely car, ended in a lamp post!!)
Mini Van 850cc (all I could afford at the time, just passed my driving test)
Austin Allegro 1500 (enjoyed this car a lot)
Fiat Strada (ex company car = cheap)
Fiat Uno 1.1L (my first new car)
Fiat Uno 1.3L (my second new car)
Vauxhall Nova Antibes 1.2L (my last new car)
Talbot Horizon (just got married, bought a house and needed a cheap car. Awful thing, but never let me down)
Morris Marina Coupe (Another poor car, never any problem though and wife thought it was great!!)
Ford Escort 1.6 Ghia
Vauxhall Cavalier 2.0L
Renault 21
Renault 19
Ford Mondeo 1.8L auto (company car)

1989 BMW E30 325i touring
1997 BMW E36 323i coupe (beatiful car - best I've owned to press. Would probably of kept it longer but the tin worm got it in the end)
2001 Jaguar X Type 3.0 SE (AWD excellent in last years snow)
2003 BMW Z4 2.5 SE (brilliant car, but looks like the first car in 33yrs that's needing a clutch, so will probably be the most expensive to maintain)

1977 Porsche 911S To Celebrate My Divorce - Sold in 1989 250,000 + Miles

1982 BMW 320i Purchased For My Second & Last Wife – S
1995 Jeep Cherokee (Mostly Wife's Car & She Kept With Divorce in 2000 and later traded for a Saturn which she totaled)

Tut- tut you should have learned the lesson after the first divorce, I know I did, just had 'partners' after that which could be exchanged for no/little cost

carlosfandago, wasn't there a song about the ford cortina?

 

[BMWZ4MC]

Since we're doing this again, and I have an addition since the last time...

Daily drivers:

1981 Ford Fiesta - first car and complete shed; came to a sticky end on its roof in a country lane after four months of enthusiastic driving.
1986 Fiat Uno - complete shed; eventually crumbled into a pile of rusty bodywork and bits of gearbox.
1988 Ford Orion 1.6i Ghia - complete shed, with utterly awful brakes. Died from gearbox failure.
1994 Ford Escort 1.8 Turbo Diesel - bled to death on the M4.
1999 Peugeot 306 XSi - absolutely fantastic car, with predictable lift-off oversteer and power-on understeer... Very pleased to see the that I'm not the only one to love this car. First car I've sold.
2000 Audi TT 225 coupe - great fun in a straight line, miserable around the bends. Not to mention the irritating DSC that would forever attempt to drive the damned car whenever I frightened it!! (Made me appreciate all the more the Peugeot's handling)

Weekend toys:

Westfield SEiW- 150bhp, 500kg. Lost an arguement with a roundabout, a crash barrier, a lamp post, then the crash barrier again. Learned a great deal about RWD cars and the energy absorbing potential of 5mm of fibreglass that day.

Current cars:

Westfield SEiW - 150bhp, 500kg - still own and going strong after seven years of track and summer lane fun
2006 BMW Z4MC - phenomenal. Rivals my Westfield for sheer presence, noise, acceleration, and pit of the stomach thrills. Now relegated to Fridays and weekends due to
2003 E46 320d - just for the next year whilst I have to commute 50 miles / day for work. Pulls well enough on the motorway and a tank of fuel lasts forever

Starting to crave something with four wheels and a Hayabusa engine for next summer...

 

[Taz]

is the westfield a kit car?

 

[BMWZ4MC]

It's the British racing green Seven in my signature. It is a kit car, but, although I dismantled my first one, I built neither it nor its successor!
