3. Triumph Spitfire Mk1 (with overdrive!)
4. Vauxhall Chevette Hatch 1.2
5. Alfa Romeo Alfasud
6. Lots of different Company Cars, but they don't count as mine

1. Nissan Micra, learned to drive in this car back in 2009, was a rust bucket so I replaced it in 2010.

2. Ford StreetKa, loved this car but it ended up being another rust bucket, got rid of it in Feb.

She even had eyelashes at one point ..

3. BMW Z4, bought in Feb this year after seeing it one day and thinking it looked pretty, a quick check on my finances, insurance, etc & I went back and bought it a few days later

There aren't any eyelashes on the Z4 ... yet

 

[clintman17]

I can't believe how many cars you guys have had! I'm 29 and I'm only on my third, a huge improvement after driving the Sunfire for 13 years. I can truly appreciate this now. Although, my high school years with that Blazer and the backseat that folded flat through the bed...let's just say there was plenty of backseat for whatever you wanted to do.

1. 1988 Chevy Blazer 4.3 4x4 (coupe SUV)
2. 2001 Pontiac Sunfire 2.2
3. 2005 Z4 2.5i

 

[olliemk1]

I had a crazy number of cars between 18-21 - I've put my age next to them to give you an idea. Changing cars was almost a hobby when I was a student

1. VW Golf CL (Mk3) - 17
2. Triumph Spitfire 1500 - 18
3. Toyota MR2 - 19
4. Ford Puma - 19
5. VW Golf GTI Mk1 - 20
6. Renault Clio Williams Mk3 - 20
-----Graduated and started working-------
7. Honda Integra Type R (DC2) - 21
8. Honda Integra Type R (DC5) - 24

I then moved to London with work so sold the DC5. Just bought and decided that I'd like a car again. Recently:

9. Nissan 350Z - 29. Far too heavy, so sold it for:
10. BMW Z4 3.0si - 30

Pick of the bunch for thrills is definitely the DC2. It was such a fantastic car and I wish I'd never sold it. The Z4 is certainly the best car I've had since and although I sometimes wish I'd gone for the ///M, it's a good compromise between pace, fun and running costs.

I've had a few motors and managed to keep a few of the piccies over the years!

#1 GTM Coupe, Mini based kit car (1275GT engine, mid mounted, custom fiberglass chassis)

#2 Honda Civic 1.6SE Executive, in horrible green

#3 BMW Z3 1.9 8V with tan interior. God I loved that car. A bit slow though!

#4 VW Golf Mk5 1.9TDI Match. Very nice car for munching the miles. No picture though.

#5 BMW 320D E90. Had to sell the Z3 after the company Golf was taken away and given car allowance. Nice car, promptly killed by Sytner Solihull when they didn't put the sump plug back in after a service!

#6 BMW 120D - the replacement for the 320D

#7 Mazda MX-5 S-VT Sport 1.8 - sold a few weeks ago to help pay for the Zed!

#8 Z4 Coupe 3.0Si - ooh yeah!
