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.

And even with 220k miles on it, i bet you would get very good money for it today! Loved the Coupe, couldn't afford one at the time, but i could put up with the hairdresser comments when it was quicker than my mates 911.
 
Yellow vauxhall nova 1.3 SR
Silver Polo match 1.3
VW Passat 2.0 SE
Audi A3 2.0 S-Line
BMW 320D sport
Tesla Model S 70

Had a big gap between the nova at 17 and polo as only passed eventually when 24! 5 tests including one where the Nova broken down! Failed for failure to provide a roadworthy vehicle....
 
Couldn't possibly remember all those I've owned...

Amongst those I wouldn't mind having on my drive now would be...

Mk1 Lotus Cortina
Mk2 Cortina Savage
Twin wheeled Transit with V6 Supercharged!
Couple of Marcos and a couple of Elans
 
Passed my test in 1989.

Ezzie pop - present off my auntie - cost £300, only one door locked from the outside. It was like doing the crystal maze to get all 4 doors locked.

Renault 5 - cost £1100 - ex company car from my mams place. Went all over the Uk for away matches, sometimes 5 x 15 stone lads in it, so was a tight squeeze.

Cavalier 1.6 - cost £3,500 - ex-girlfriends work colleague was emigrating so got a bargain. Mmmm alloys and tints.

Cavalier 2.0i - got up to 9 points when I had that (more than Joe Royle's Everton had in the November, at the time).

Honda civic coupe - lovely lines

Honda Civic boring thing (company car).

Skoda Octavia

Hopefully Skoda superb next.

Would love to be loaded and get a boss car, but would rather see the world and retire 5 years earlier than have boss/new cars.
 
The polo and the Maestro were essentially free. it was a case of "if you can start it and move it, you can have it". Both ran for quite some time !!

Fiesta - E reg - 1lt
Corsa - R reg - 1 lt
Mini Cooper - 45 plate - 1.6lt
Golf GTI - mk 5 - 07 plate - 2lt
BMW - 220 Sport - 64 plate - 2lt

A steady progression I think.
I kept the Golf for 7 years, until it started to cost me too much. Only had the beemer for a year so don't know how long it'll last or what the possible replacement may be. Nice car though.
 
Funnily enough, me and the wife were recently trying to remember all the cars i've had. Definitely over 70, in 33 years of driving. Worst was a Volvo 66 (a DAF really) with the rubber belt cvt gearbox. Best, surprisingly was a Renault Laguna estate. Had it for 3 years and apart from oil changes and fuel, never cost me a penny.

You've just reminded me of a couple I forgot to mention,

The dreaded DAF Variomatic .................. truly awful!
I also had a Citroen GS Club 1220 Convertisseur. It was a sort of semi-automatic in that it had a three speed box with a manual gear stick but no clutch!
Oh, and I also had a Freelander diesel for 5 years which was unbelievably reliable and I had it's lips painted Lamborghini orange!!
