Porsche 718 Cayman
Obviously, I don’t have an extensive list of cars behind me, but I’m only 20 and so have only been driving for 3.5 years. I haven’t had enough time yet to build up a nice portfolio
Hoping my next step is a 718 GTS.

Hoping my next step is a 718 GTS.
I try and collect a model for each car I’ve owned, struggling to find one for a Graphite BGTS though
Here’s my list going back 20yrs or so, some right stinkers...
Austin Metro
Ford Fiesta (XR2 Replica)
Citroen AX GT
Ford Escort (RS2000 Replica)
Suzuki Vitara Fatboy
MGF VVTI
Audi TT 225 Roadster
Mini GTT 220
Jaguar X-Type Sport
Nissan Cube’s (had a bit of fun importing)
Audi TT 3.2 DSG Coupe
Mercedes E350 Cabriolet
Range Rover Sport
Range Rover Autobiography (4 seat)
Land Rover Doscovery Sport (returned after 1 week!)
Range Rover Autobiography (got it back)
718 Boxster GTS
(Bought a model 911 in preparation - then whilst at dealer saw the 718 and bought that instead)

Under 2k, surprisingly! I think it’s because (1) I’m a female so I avoid the young boy-racer stereotype, (2) my postcode (small town) isn’t high risk, and (3) I doubt insurance companies have many claims of 20 years old crashing new Porsches, therefore making the car statistically less risk. Happy days! Godlysmasko said:

Having to think a bit now...
Talbot Alpine 1.6LS
Polo 1.3 C Formel E
Rover 214 SLi
Rover 218 SLDT
Rover 216 GTi
Citroen BX 1.9 D - Utterly dreadful in everyway, worst car in history (apart from the 2CV)
Daihatsu Fourtrak 2.8 TD
Rover 420 GSi
Rover 220 Coupe Turbo
Ford Sierra 1.6 LX
MK Indy kitcar (Honda Blackbird engine) - Still in the garage
Ford Mondeo 1.8 TD Ghia
Rover 220 SLi
Ford Mondeo 2.0 TD
Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDi Elegance
BMW 316 iS
BMW 328i Coupe - weekend toy, cracking chassis
Skoda Octavia VRS Diesel - Current workhorse
BMW E46 M3 - current weekend/track toy / Alpine tripper / Nurburgring beast
Cayman R - currently hunting for, still elusive! :sad:
7.2 GTS - probable successor to an R, 991s don't do anything for me.
7.2 GT3 - One day...
Some questionable decisions there, but at the time on a fairly low income, they seemed reasonable at the time. Lots of diesels but 20-30k miles a year meant economy was a requirement.
