Hmm...I'm 28 now. Only owned a car since I was 22 (Could never afford one before that :shock:  :cry: )
So here goes,
1st Vauxhall Calibra 2.5 V6 (Sold because it was getting too expensive to repair and re-tyre :lol:  but made profit on it)
2nd Peugeot 306 Phase 1 2Ltr 8v XSi (Traded in cos it was dying)
3rd Peugeot 306 Phase 2 2Ltr 16v XSi (Fantabulous car to be honest))Had to get rid for cash flow LOL)
4th Toyota Celica GT4 ST165 (Sold to Northern Ireland for rallying  8) )
5th Toyota Celica GT4 ST165 (Sold as restoration project due to tin worm)
6th Toyota Celica GT4 ST165 (Stripped for spares due to tin worm)
7th Ford Fiesta XR2i. Bought for £150 from the auction as a run around and it lasted 12 months before been sold for a profit. The red paint had turned pink but that made it all the more fun LOL
8th Toyota Celica GT4 ST165 JDM. Notice the JDM part on this one? No bloody body kit to hold water. Still own this one but until we get an off roader/4x4 the wife is using it as her daily driver  :evil:  which is great in something that averages 18mpg on a run :shock:
I might as well own a 101 8)

My only claim to fame is that by sheer accident I have owned nearly all the engine/drive layouts.

Skoda Estelle (rear engine rear drive)
Polo GL (Front engine Front Drive)
Rover 216 (Front engine Front Drive, again)
Toyota MR2 (Mid Engine, Rear Drive)
Subaru Imprezza (Front engine, 4wd, Petrol)
Lotus Elise (Mid Engine, Rear Drive) Still got it, in love
VW Golf GTI (Front Engine, Front Drive)
Freelander (Front engine 4WD, Desiel)
Series III (Front Engine 4wd non perm, Petrol)
And Now Im married ill count  the wifes Honda S2000 (Front engine, rear drive)

So I think that just leavs me with

a rear engine 4wd (Porche?)
a mid engine 4wd  (Lambo?)

Suggestions anyone?

The only one I had before the Disco was an L-reg Citroen ZX diesel. 1.9, base model so no power steering. It was a bit of a handful in the wet, especially on cattle grids. Buckets of torque, I'll swear my arms were bigger then than they are now due to having to fight the thing! Unfortunately the head gasket blew, and would have cost more to fix than the car was worth.

I passed in 2003 and my car history is a bit short .. but dramatic.

1.Renault 5  Cost £350- written off ( a peugeot pulled out in front of me from side road :roll: ) Insurance payout £800 + use of Brand Spank Astra Sport for three months :D, Came with 35miles on the clock went back with 3500 ! whoops

2. Fiat punto Cost £700 (from insurance) - still own, curently SORN as has no clutch.

3 VW mk2 Golf gti cost £250 from ebay (cheaper than fixing punto)- written off (A peugeot thought red lights didnt apply to him and smacked into the front of me) Insurance payout £1800 and the guy lost his licence and landed with big fine! :D

4. Land Rover discovery 300Tdi paid for by insurance..lovin it! (This one will fare better next time a peugeot wants to have a go!)

I don't get through that many, having learned to look after my first car I tend to fix them up and make them how I want them rather than chop and change because I'm bored.

I suppose the exception is Blue, it's waiting for it's 3rd engine/box in 4 years.
