Blimey I forgot some,

yet another Morris Marina Coupe, a bright yellow Toyota Celica Liftback, so called because anytime you went anywhere in it you needed a 'liftback', but it only cost me a bottle of scotch. Also a mkII Golf GTI.

Most of the cars in the list above cost me no more than a hundred pounds.
It costs that much just for the brake pads on the Scoob!

Gaz.

2. J-reg Renault 19 1.4 (5 years)

then

That was a bit of a jump...

Paul.

Carter

Ooh, debatable - only in chronological terms; you've owned quicker cars than the Rover.

My jump was the 80bhp Renault to a 260bhp Scooby - I think that's edging it at the mo...8)

DarkForce

12. Suzuki Bandit 600 2000 (another one I still own)

Sheesh! Either I've just been lucky with reliability or I just don't get bored of cars half as quickly as some of you guys

In 12 years:

Fiat Panda 45 (Mum's old car, grp 1 insurance. Don't laugh, it matters at that age!)
Rover 216S (Dad used to have one. Comfy but unreliable)
Nissan 100NX (Actually I still miss this car, quirky with Targa roof)
Subaru Impreza (UK) (Fantastic car, currently for sale)
Westfield SEW (Great fun but too much tinkering required)
Ford Escort van (Worthless heap with MOT, keeps grubby stuff out of the scooby!)
Subaru Impreza STI (JDM) (On order - can't wait!! )

from the age of 18 - 22 i have owned:

1.sooty van #1 (suzuki carry 1.0l)
2.sooty van #2 (bedford rascal 1.0l)
3.sooty van #3 (new shape suzuki super carry 1.3i)
3.vauxhall astra 1.4i
4.MG ZR 105
5.MY01 2.0 GX
6.MY52 WRX (current car - yey)

Andy (sooty van freak )

DarkStar66

My list starts off with a lot of Fords because my dad worked for them and I got a huge discount.

Escort 1.8D GLX (Extra company had to be a diesel )
Fiesta 1.4S (Simple and fun)
Fiesta 1.6S (Wanted an XR2i, not the same!)
Fiesta XR2i 16V (Got it!)
Renault Clio 16V (Great car, I still miss it.)
Ford Mondeo 2.5 Si (Wanted a Puma but no discount at the time, big mistake!)
Mitsubishi FTO GPX (Liked it a lot apart from the hard ride and depreciation.)
Alfa Romeo 147 2.0TS (Lovely engine, handling good after lowered, nasty clutch!)
Subaru WRX Bugeye (Best all round car apart from the petrol consumption)

So that's one car every two years although I had the Clio for three and the Mondeo for just one. Does that make me sane or just boring?

Mog what's the RS4 like as a everyday car. Does it attract adverse attention. I think that would be my dream car for all round ability...or am I talking a load of old cobblers?

logiclee

I've had 21 main cars in my 18 driving years as well as another 8 cars that I've had as toys from Rally cars to LandRovers.

Looking down my list only two cars I regret buying, a 2 year old MG Metro Turbo when I was 18 and a Peugeot 405 in 1993.
The Metro was an unreliable, poor handling shed and the Peugeot's 1.9 non injection engine was verypoor and had a terrible gearbox.

The car I have the best memories for was a 1987 Sierra 2.0 GL that I had back in 1989, I had £4k of ICE installed and did shows at weekends (Before it became popular with the boom boom max power crowd) Me and my mates went all over the country and had soume great times. The car itself wasn't any thing special but gave us wonderful times.

2. Citroen AX GT
3. Ford Escort Si 1800
4. Hyundai Coupe 2.0 SE
5. Citroen Saxo VTR
6. Ford Fiesta Zetec S

10. Renault Clio Cup 172

I think I forgot a few in there during the early days but those are the memorable cars for one reason or another.

My other half is just as bad and at the moment its level pegging over the last 10 years, between us we're on 20 cars!

Mog

Its great as a everyday drive with all the toys and comfort with which you can blow most other cars away, but I want something a bit lighter and more raw for a weekend blast/trackdays as it just sits there most of the time hence it has only done 9,400 miles.

Never had a ton of money to spend on cars

£800 Ford Escort 1.3 Popular D reg (until garage didn't put sump plug on properly)
£450 Ford Escort 1.6 Sport G reg (until taxi driver wrote it off)
£360 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L 5dr G reg (temp replacement when the Sport was stolen for a few days, and for the many days that it wasnt working. Eventually took it for MOT and the mechanic pulled the wings off with his hands and told me not ot even bother)
£100 Ford Escort 1.6 GL 5dr G Reg with the engine from the 1.6 Sport (until camshaft snapped the week before starting new job now with company car)
VW Golf 1.9 TDI 90 (until work gave me a shiny nice-seeming Audi TT)
Audi TT 225 (until the lease runs out in September and I can get rid of the bloody thing and get an STI instead)

The last Escort is still around the back of my flat awaiting me to find the time to put some insane engine it and scare the local scallys. Wonder if the Scoob engine will fit
