Volvo 340
Cavalier SRi A reg - much nicer than ...
Cavalier SRi G Reg
Alfa 33 16V
Alfa 164 V6 12V
Alfa 33 1.7 8V - tuned (properly) 170 bhp
Alfa 164 24V Cloverleaf (230 bhp)
Alfa 33 P4 (4WD using engine from previous 33)
MY99 Impreza - STi backbox - otherwise standard (I think )

Still have the last two - hence 2 * 4WD boxer engined cars - both have their attractions.

Alfa incredibly simple - carbs - trumpets - fabulous induction noise.
Scooby - well I guess you know!

I ain't that old, so please bear in mind this kicks off in 1990 when I was 17...

1969 Triumph Herald 13/60 (lowered / twin SU's)
1954 standard 8 (roof chopped, Triumph 1500 running gear)
Mk3 Escort 1.3 in hearing aid beige
1969 morris minor hot rod (roof chopped)
1968 Riley 1.5 hot rod (powered by Rover 3.5 V8 / Jag IRS!)
1969 Morris minor pick up hot rod (powered by Rover V8 13.5 second 1/4 mile with N2O)
Peugeot 306 "style" (style - LOL!!)
Rover 414 (K-series revtatstic)
Carlton 2.0GLi (how comfy??!)
Clio Diesel (how cheap to run??!)
Rover 414 (Love to rev those K-series motors)
1959 Split screen Minor (powered by 3.9 Rover V8 - scary)
Audi A3 T Sport (now we're getting there..lol)
1932 Deuce Ford Roadster hot rod (powered by 3.9 Rover V8 - How mad?)
MINI Cooper S (New version - how bumpy / thirsty??)
Impreza WRX (had two weeks ago - love it - keeping it as my daily driver)
1959 Chevy Apache Pick up Street rod (Big block Chevy V8 7.8 litres / lowered)

I'm actually quite pleased looking at the list and how it's progressed.

Peugeot 304, Rover 2000SC, Triumph Dolomite, Triumph Acclaim for 13 years - what a good under-rated car that was!. Tthen started watching rallies on TV and fell in love with Impreza about 1998. However, bought a trusty Primera SRi workhorse in 1999 which was quite nice to drive - but always in the back of my mind still lusting after the Impreza - until I got my bugeye in Feb04. Having been in a TR6, I have to say the view from the driver's seat is reminiscent somehow.
