I've been driving 19 years and owned 2 Japanese, 5 German, 5 British and 1 French car. 2 FWD, 1 4WD and 10 RWD (3 ME/RWD & 7 FE/RWD). I'd like to think that's fairly diverse

Been driving since 1980.

1st car was a Renault 6 (Big Renault 4) with the push/pull gear shift. Drove it for 2 years before passing my test in 1982.

Since:

Lots of company cars, vans and trucks as well as:

Ford Escort Van 1.6
Ford Cortina Mk3 2000e
Ford Cortina Mk4 Estate 2L auto
Austin Maxi 1800
Citroen CX Pallas 2400 auto
Citroen DS
Citroen XM
Renault Megane 1.6e coupe
BMW e36 323i SE (Bought 1998, still have it)
Porsche Boxster 987
Land Rover Discovery 3 TDV6

So not many over a 33 year period but loads of motorbikes over the same amount of time. Most of the 80s I was in a selection of company Honda Acty vans, Ford Transits/Lutons and Citroen C15s.

Not very is my answer.

Until I win the lottery I doubt that list will grow at all either! Next car will probably be Spanish, Czech or Japanese, depending on how desperate a purchase it is!
