I think I am doing something wrong.

Ford Fiesta
Ford KA
Ford Focus

I got the Fiesta when it was 14 years old and I finished school.
I won the KA about 3 years into university, sold it when going to London in 2001.
And I bought the Focus Estate about 8 years ago when I was still doing triathlon and had to go to weird places at 6am in the morning, carrying lots of gear.

That's 3 cars in 23 years. Way below average here.

BMW z3m (best car I ever owned, had to sell and struggle to get £9k for it, now worth £20k+)

Mrs mogs drive for the last 14 years has been a z3m coupe, now up to 220k miles, rebuilt suspension, gear box, etc. Still nothing quite like it around. They only ever made 860 rhd versions in the first place. Bought for 23k.
 
If people are adding in bikes;

Honda CD175 - gutless and asthmatic.
Honda CB125 - indestructible. Good job really as it it spent as much time sliding down the road as it did upright - my mad period.
Honda CB400-4 - with gas shocks you could lay it on its side and it would still stick to the road
Moto Guzzi 850 - sublime. First time out I was amazed how slow Sunday drivers go.... till I looked down at the speedo.
BSA B40 - how to remove fillings in one hour
Yamaha RD200 - tame
Suzuki GT380 - good fun in a straight line
Kawasaki Z900 - frame made from rubber...
Kawasaki Z650 - a pint of oil a week, and no brakes.
Honda VFR 800 V-Tec - wow! 140(on private roads obviously, and still pulling)
Triumph Street Triple R - YES! I feel 18 again.... tempted to do it again. My God could it get me into trouble and out again
