1996 VW Polo 1.3L

Out of those the spitfire was my favourite, when it actually worked. Nothing quite like the wind in your hair throwing it around the corners of a country lane.

The 5 series was the most refined, I'd still like to own another one but these days I'm a reformed character these days and go for rather more sensible cars which are kinder to the environment. Also I live in a city and the polo is just so much easier to nip about in and get parked. The polo only gets used once every couple of weeks for the shopping at the moment although for a car of its size it has exceptional handling characteristics, feels almost as solid on the road as the bimmer.

1982 Ford Escort Estate. Old banger that I nearly crashed down a 20 foot embankment and was only stopped but a concrete roadsign!

1986 Ford Orion, bloody good car that was owned by an old lady. It had 26,000 miles on the clock and was like new. Unfortunately some scum bag poured paint stripper over it outside my house one night.

1987 Ford Fiesta XR2, the stereo was worth double that of the car.

1993 Honda Civic, still got that one although it`s been laid up for eighteen months now.

1992 Suzuki GP100. Rarr feel the the power of the 100cc engine!

2001 Aprilia RS125, deresticted. Owned from new. Decent bike, still got that.
 
Just realised i have had a few cars for a 25 year old lol

Ford Escort 1.8 si 3dr 1998 S Reg(aka Betty... Black Betty... Betty Ford)
Honda Accord Type R 2.2 V-TEC 4dr V Reg 1999(Very quick motor... but very thirsty and cost me 3k a year to insure at 21!)

Renault Megane Coupe(again!) 2.0 16V DCI, 2dr 2000 W Reg(just as a run around)
Ford Focus 1.8 TDCI Zetec 3dr, '53' Reg(has to move to the dark side a get a diesel as was doing 600 miles a week... only doing half that now and the cost of fuel is making the Fiesta ST an attractive idea)

so thats the list. i worked in the motor trade for a few years in both rental and sales but im not counting the company cars lol
 
Cars

Hillman Hunter. Bought it bits , fixed it, flogged it ,
Alfasud 1.5tc. Crashed it, fixed it, flogged it
