My buying journey so far

[Dave77vx]

Hi all

Just thought after only 5 posts in 90 months it was about time to write an article about my car buying journey over the last 20 years, if anyone is interested!

First car: 1.2 Vauxhall corsa
1.2 16v corsa (rapid!)
Ford focus RS mk1 (at 21 years old, the only age I could get insurance!)
Fiesta ST
Ford Racing Puma (best front drive car so far)
Honda S2000 (a great car, also one of the most expensive to run)
Escort R2000 MK6 (cheap car, head gasket failure, my only breakdown so far)
Ford maverick 4x4. (cost £1000, had it 3 years, accident, insurance gave me £1050)
Nissan Xtrail (part ex'd after a month due to it needing camshafts)
Vauxhall VX220 2.2 (road trip: 4167 miles, 10 days, 10 European countries, 40 degrees and no air con! Heat stroke!)
BMW M235
BMW M4 Competition (owned for 5 weeks and drove it to Budapest and back, got carried away after taking a trip to the Aston dealer to buy a keyring... PX'd
Aston Martin V8 vantage 4.7
Mitsub L200

Anybody else have a similar buying journey?
