Driving 12 years :
OPEL KADETT LS (my father's car)
OPEL ASTRA 1,4 GT
OPEL ASTRA 2,0 16V GSI
Now
IMPREZA GT MY00 and OPEL CORSA 1,4 SPORT
Maybe I am OPEL addicted too.
What's for next? Maybe an EVO VII in one or two years.

followed by a brand new B reg Fiat Uno SX,

since beginning of 2000.....

seat ibiza..nice little motor
audi a4 1.8 se.....utter sh1te
ford puma 1.7.....sweet, but not quick enough
audi s4..big oomph, awful seats, crap handling
my00ppp...bit overated to be honest
bmw 330ci..exceptional, just dont do enough miles to warrant it.
sti5..mega, much better than uk IMHO

and now the daddy of em all.....
nissan skyline r33 gtr vspec...i simply adore it famous last words, but this ones staying

Type R

My small list in comparison to most, i have had my current car much longer than any of the others. It is the dogs danglies.

Rover 111i (96-97) (1st Car - Free Insurance

Clio 16V (97-98) (Very unreliable and gave back to the garage, and got a full refund)

Rover 216si (98-99)(My starting point big wheels, and lowered to the floor)

Rover 218is (17" Wheels, £3000 ICE, Big Zorst etc) My Max power moment in life. (99-00)

Ford Ka (2nd Car to CTR)

Civic Type R (00 -Present)

Next either R34 or Orange Exige in about 4 years when i become 30, and will get a sensible insurance quote.

Passed test in 91, aged 17...

1937 Ford Y Type (given me by a mate)

1937 Morris 8 (cost £12 10 shillings - there was also a reconditioned MG TC for £180 but I did not have that much!)

NSU "Quickly" Moped (just got married for the first time)

195x Citroen ID19 (second best car I've ever owned)

K reg Renault 12 (without doubt the WORST car I have driven EVER)

R reg Volvo 245 DL

Y reg Volvo 245 GLT (bloody nice car)

E reg Volvo 740 estate (bloody boring car that would just not ear out, even at 250,000 had original exhaust system even)

G reg Range Rover (you could take it and the family anywhere and we did)

V reg Turbo (without doubt, the best car I have ever owned or driven)

not countng other cars I used such as my Mother's Mini vans.

My father's list makes much more interesting reading - Lagondas, Bentleys, etc.
