Question Another "What ?" Thread - What have you driven/owned?

Just wondering what sort of cars folk off here have had as part of their driver history before moving to scoobs?

Could also stick up random cars that you have driven as well if you want

IŽll start.........

OWNED

Renault 5 Turbo ( yes 1st car was a 5GT )
Renault 5 GTX ( 1.7 Petrol and as much fun as the 5GT )
Vauxhall Astra 1.7TD Saloon ! ( 1st and only diesel I ever owned )
Ford Fiesta RS 1800 ( back to proper cars LOL )
Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec
Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec Collection
Subaru Impreza Turbo 2000 ( still love this car, Andy loves it now too....)
Subaru Impreza STI PPP ( costs too much to run but I love it to bits )

DRIVEN

Various Fiestas, Novas, mates cars over the years
A selection of Avis " rent a rally car " especially over Donegal Rally weekends
Group N and Group A Imprezas @ Bill Gwynne rally school
Assorted cop cars, and landrovers.........highlights being R32,W8, Evo...and of course the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti....WOW!!!!!!

This is a fairly short list, and havent even mentioned cars I would LOVE to drive either......so come on folks, whats in your motoring history?????????
