How many car brands have you owned?

[Ace-T]

I like questions like these. It is good to reflect on what you have done/achieved/wasted money or time on sometimes.

British Leyland x2
VW x 1
Vauxhall x2
MG x4
BMW MINI x1
TVR x2.5
BMW x3
Mazda x1
Smart x2
Jaguar x3
Alfa Romeo x4
Mercedes x1
Volvo x1
Porsche x2
Ferrari x1
Honda x1
Nissan x1
Bentley x1

There are a couple that I would like to add to the list at some point: Aston Martin and Maserati, though I suspect the AM is the more likely due to the cheaper operating costs to the Masser.

Ooh and bikes:
Honda x2
Triumph x1
Suzuki x1
Kawasaki x1

Of those, I'd only seriously consider another Subaru or Mazda. Brands to be added - BMW, Porsche, and, er, Holden/HSV

It wasn't one of the late 30s flashy things but a vintage, badge engineered, Chenard et Walcker of modest proportions.

Toyota X 3 - I know lots slate them, but they are bloody good cars
BMW X 2 - E34 I loved, E39 I hated by the end.
Lotus X 1 - Amazing
Suzuki X 1 - Ignis sport, good fun especially on track, rock hard suspension though.
Mazda X 1 - Current weekend car MX-5 nice to have something different for when the mood takes you.

From the age of 20 years to 20 years and 10 months, I owned two Peugeots. However after the second one was written off in a rear end shunt, I then went and bought a Lotus. I'm nearly 30 now, and in that time I've owned two Lotuses, so ...

[Blayney]

.......

oh dear.

Vauxhall
Renault

I have use of a classic mini too.

[speedtwelve]

18 cars over 18 years so far:

SAAB
VW x 5
Lancia
Nissan
Peugeot
Toyota x 3
Mazda
Honda x 2
Alfa Romeo
TVR
Holden HSV

Some of the above I won't be revisiting (SAAB- dull, Lancia- Integrales are now crazy money, Alfa- just everything broke on a 6 yr old car. The 10 y.o Lancia was a paragon of reliability in comparison, although it came with a terrifying sheaf of bills from the previous owner).

A good run of 80s/90s quick VWs, GTIs, VR6s etc. The Corrado I had was one of my favourites of all time.

The Toyotas as I'm a fan of the MR2.

The Hondas, both with VTEC engines, the S2000 was another of my favourites. Cars are very well screwed together too.
