Toyota Hi-Lux
Nissan Navara
Audi A6 Estate
BMW 520d Touring
BMW 530d Touring
Volvo XC60
Subaru STi WRX (heavily modded)
BMW M135i

Subaru was the fastest point to point car I have ever driven. Quicker than a 911 or similar. Ludicrously fast.

Current M135i is very good. I think the next car will be an M4.

Subarus are awesome, but I could never own one because they'll always be associated with Staffordshire Bull Terrier owning tramps from the council estates

Only thing with the M4 is its the size of a ship... Seen the M2?(could be the best M car ever)

Would you want to drive the same car as Paul Nash ? .

 

[chip barm]

Speaking to a mate yesterday who has just replaced his car after nearly 17 years got me thinking.
He and I passed our tests about a month apart in 1995 and that (Ford Mondeo) is only his second car ever having had a Corsa as his first car.
I then thought about the cars I have had in the same time frame.
Here's my list;
Ford Fiesta XR2i on a G reg was first
Ford Sierra Sapphire on a J reg
Ford Escort Ghia on a M reg
Vauxhall Astra SXi on a T reg (this eventually became a project car with a 3.0 V6 dropped in, only got rid last month)
BMW M3 E46 on a 55 reg (lasted 6 months)
BMW 325 E92 Coupe on a 57 reg
Alfa GT on a 55 plate (never again)
Mercedes A220 AMG on a 14 reg
And currently a Mercedes C43 AMG I got last year.

So 10 cars in the same time he has had 2...

What's your list?

This should be fun! Only learnt to drive in my 30's, having failed a test at 21 and not having enough spare cash to retake, and not really having the need. So my glorious list of cars begins when already a Dad.

Vauxhall Meriva. Horrible car. Didn't help that it was an undeclared accident refurb.
Peugeot 208. White. Actually quite a fun car so long as you keep the revs up, otherwise it just wallows. Fuel efficiency is godlike though.

 

[need_my_wedge]

Started driving in 1982 at 17. First car was a Datsun 180B Bluebird, from there I've had the following, not exactly in order as some crossed over and have had two cars at any one time since 2003. Aside from the Hilux, most changed every 2 - 3 years:

Ford Escort
Volvo 340
Opel Manta GT/E
Escort XR3i
Fiesta XR2i
Rover 820
Honda Civic

Audi A4
Toyota Hilux Surf (best motor ever, bought in Japan when I lived there and shipped back when I returned, had it for 8 years, only gave it up when the computer started getting expensive to repair)
Toyota Corolla
Toyota Avensis
Audi A3
Renault Clio
Ford Focus
Saab 93 Convertible
Seat Leon
Toyota RAV4
Nissan Juke
Toyota RAV4

One of my neighbours has an M4 in a dark blue. It is very nice indeed.

M2 looks okay but if I was staying with that sort of size I would get the new direct replacement for my current car - the M140i. Means I can get the whippet in the boot! Might well go for this anyway....
