Just thought it would be interesting to see everyone's car progression in their youth.

I am 21, but so far it has gone:

1.6 Astra at 17
1.8 Mondeo at 18
Mondeo ST24 just before I turned 19
E46 328i at 19

Still have the E46 and it will be back on the road at the end of the month, and I am currently driving a 2.2 Astra SRI I bought at 21 to tide me over smile

As for future plans, the E46 will probably be staying for a long time as I am going back to university this year. Next car will probably be a Monaro VXR but that is a good few years away yet.

If the E46 dies, then it will be replaced with another one or a Mondeo ST220 / Vectra 3.2 GSI. Yes, I have given this some thought!

My first car at just shy of 18 in 1989 was a 1979 VW Golf N, which started out with an 1100 engine but ended up with a 1300. Terrific car and I wish I'd kept it somewhere.

I then had a J Reg Ford Escort as a company car - it was a couple of years old when I got it as a young probationer sales rep, I then graduated to a new Peugeot 305 which was entertaining at the time.

So by the age of 25 I'd owned only one car, the Golf.

Only 21 so the list is somewhat limited so far!

1.2 Corsa SXI+
1.8 Corsa SRI
1.0 Polo (moved to an unfriendly car area, needed a shed)
2.0t Audi S3

Currently have both the polo and the S3, don't think I'll be changing again for a while.
