Car timeline...
Got a quiet evening so..... pointless thread coming up!!! 
Post your previous cars:
For me:
Fiesta Zetec S > BMW 325i > Subaru Impreza UK Turbo
Noticed quite a few people have gone the VAG route before their scoobs, was just wondering what some of you have had in the past
Sorry if this is a regular kind of thread, dont often look in the general section

I,m 58 years old and spent 41 years in the motor trade. I,ve had the "opertunity" to buy some rediculose cars at seemingly rediculose prices lol..... Lots have been memorable for reasons best not remembered .....and having always been a petrol head I count myself lucky to have owned some truly monumental mechanical abortions lol

I am assuming that bikes are allowed:
Vauxhall Astra 1.6
Vauvhall Astra Estate 1.7
Landrover Ser III (2.5 ACR components petrol engine, gas flowed head SU carb, bloody brilliant)
Vauxhall Astra Estate 1.8 16v (Loved it)
Renault Megan 1.6 (hated it)
Landrover Disco V8 (LPG, chipped, Janspeed exhaust system, beautiful sound)
Honda CBR600
Landrover 90 200Tdi (off road at its best)
Subaru Impreza UK2000 Wagon (love of my life, current)
Suzuki SV1000s
Volvo V40 1.9 (wifes current car, very reliable)
Honda CBR1000rr (current)
Out of the above, the landrovers and Scoob have been great. Looking to replace the Volvo with a TD5 Disco next year.
Cheers P
