Loads of boring stuff including 2 escorts (car and van, both mkII) couple of Fiats, two metros (both total sheds)then a 1.8 Mondeo which I actually really liked, although no-one believes me, and a TVR S3, which was a great car to drive but totally impractical for work use and needed to be owned by someone who enjoyed fixing as much as driving, and now the STi7 for me and the Cooper for the wife.
...it's a hard life.

Corrado VR6 as well, went very well indeed (better than any other Corrados I've tried) but not perfectly reliable. And up to 36mpg!
Post-Scoob: Civic Type-R (sensible cheap to run family hatch) + Lotus Elise S2. 4 wheels driven in total, anyway
