From first car to most recent:

1. Chrysler Alpine 1.6 (Bought to learn in, 18 months motoring for £50!)
2. Talbot Horizon 1.5 ('Special' version with stupid stickers.)
3. Ford Escort Mk I 1.3 L (Was my grandfathers, thrashed by my brother before I got it but still great fun.)
4. Alfa Romeo Sprint Veloce 1.5 (Based on the Sud, beautiful but rusted away.)
5. Alfa Romeo Sprint Cloverleaf 1.5 (Had it resprayed by a Ferrari specialist, loved it, only car I could ever four wheel drift, would buy another in an instant if I could find one and had the funds.)
6. VW Golf 1.0 (Temporary daily driver)
7. Subaru Impreza WRX 1993 (Obviously very nice)
8. Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9 (Over-rated, could never drive it hard as it always felt on the edge of falling apart. Only car I regret buying.)
9. Nissan Micra 1.0 (Old boxy shape, lack of funds due to second child forced purchase of cheap car, but was great fun to drive.)
10. Volvo V4 2.0 (Dull family car.)
11. Subaru Impreza WRX STi V5 1998 (Fantastic, intend to keep forever.)

A few I have pics of....















That's all I can find photos of and the iPad is making me pull my hair out!
I love the GT4's the white one was fairly quick at 300bhp but they do feel quite heavy on the road, none of the above come close to my new blob eye STI

Sorely missed. I too went to view several 'mint', 'rust-free' examples before I found one even good enough to be worth respraying.

Audi A3 3.2 V6 Quattro sport. Was a lovely car, well built, smooth and easy to drive. Thought it was fast for a while too.

Needed 4 doors for the kids and the wr1 was the perfect family car! It's a different animal and I love it.

1st ford fiesta zetec s
2nd mk2 Hyundai coupe 2lt, red with 18" black wheels, lowered, custom exhaust and induction kit, looked great and sounded awesome but was dreadfully slow until it was stolen! (Still bitter 6 years on)
3. Mk2 focus st
4. Fiesta st
5. Nissan pathfinder (needed 4x4 at the time and that's the only one I like)
6. Fn2 civic type r (bought a plum and went back to the garage within 3 months so ended back in the pathfinder for a while)
7. My current blob wrx wagon
