Started off with Fords and Vauxhalls....(3 Escorts, 1 Cavalier, 1 Nova)

Saw the light and went Japanese only from 1997-2005

Corollas/Celicas/Carina/Camry - all Toyota

Honda Integra/Accord coupe.

In 2001 bought a Mitsubishi Galant estate -still got it.
In 2005 a BMW 320d estate - still got it
In 2007 a Ford Puma.....guess what.....

I loved the Celicas (GTs) and the Accord coupe (2.2 vt), both of which were great at speed. Neither can beat the Ford Puma around town and back roads.....

Mk II Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6 - My old mans old company car.
Mk II Vauxhall Astra GTE 1.8 - Loved this car. Jet Black, Knight rider Dash. Looked gorgeous but a pain to keep clean.
MG Montego Turbo - Caught Fire after 3 Weeks :( - Torque steer in a straight line was mental. real fight to keep it on the road.
Ford Fiesta XR2 (Stage 2 Head, twin DCNF Carbs, Fast Road Cam and JanSpeed Exhaust) - Small, stuck to the road and insanely fast (and loud)
Mk II Vauxhall Astra GTE 16v - Quick in a straight line but under-steered insanely in the wet. Knight rider Dash.
Peugeot 306 GTI-6 - Quick and great round the corners. But the interior would fall to bits if you sneezed.
BMW Z3 2.8 - Import from Belgium and saved about £8k. Quick and loved the retro styling.
BMW M3 Convertible - Wish I never sold this :mad:. Absolute rocket ship.
Audi A4 2.0 TFSI Quattro S-Line S-Tronic (Current Ride) Nice but boring to drive.
So I'm just about to by a Porsche 911 996 C4S as a second car for fun at the weekend :p

I'm a bit of a petrol-head. I like my cars :eek:

Oh, while I'm just pondering all this car info, I'd like to take the opportunity to have a rant about the worst car I ever owned (well, my missus owned it actually).

Volkswagen Golf mark 2. 1988 (?)

The slowest, heaviest, least enjoyable, most unreliable, ugliest, CRAP-EST car ever.

It was stolen by joy riders in Reading and I have to say the world was a better place from that day on.

Pity really, VW make some nice cars and I'll never get to drive one. I'm traumatised....STILL......

Hands down my Interlagos M3 Vert

Just traded her back in June and swapped it for a lovely 123D M Sport Convertible but it does not even come close!

The MPG was just getting out of hand doing 20,000 miles a year.

It seems excessive but I do loads of business miles and I get allowances from work so I tend to change my car evry 12 - 18 months, and yes I have been slightly brand loyal! Time for a change next time.
