Citroen AX, Renault Clio Williams, Seat Arosa, Golf TDI, Volvo XC90, Abarth 500 Esseesse... Various work related vehicles far too embarrassing to mention.
"Something to cart the family around in. Love the Range Rover but being so new prices are rather steep. Never really been a fan of the Sport and I feel that the previous generation RR already looks quite dated. Something fun as I like to disappear like many others on a Sunday morning and just randomly drive. Always had a thing for Elises so something in that vein has to be included. Also a Jag is on the list. Ever since my uncle took me out in his XJS years ago I have grown rather partial to them."
Range Rover Evoque
"OK, so it's not a full sized one but again there is something about them which ticks a fair few buttons. They are not huge but the kids will fit in the rear. I wanted a Range Rover that was not dated so in that vein I feel this is a good way to go."

Renault Sport Spider
Cost: £17,995
Balance: £43,524
Why I chose it: "Ever since I first saw pics of this I instantly fell in love. Also reminds me of the fun I use to have in the Willy all those years ago (when it worked) This one is the cheapest in the classifieds but is yellow and doesn't have the daft decals on the bonnet. Oh, and the doors!"
There are currently four Sport Spiders on PH including this one. Take a look here.
Jaguar XKR
"Always wanted an XKR! Simple really. This one in white is a little in your face but hey why drive something that makes a noise like that V8 and not have it a little OTT. There are a fair few XKRs but it had to be the later 5.0 V8. This one seemed to tick all the boxes."
Facelifted XKRs are now available from £32K. Tempted? See all XKRs for sale here.
Peugeot 106 GTI
Cost: £1,583 (for sale at 2,000 euros in Ireland, converted 31/07/14)
Balance: £1,946
Why I chose it: "Need a shopping cart which can be used and abused. Loving French hot hatches this could not be ignored. Oh, and it's yellow as well. Not many of these seem to be available but this one looked pretty original." (N.B. Unfortunately Craig's yellow GTI has sold so it's been substituted with this one).
Fast 106s seem to sell very quickly. Grab one while you can here.
