1985 Mini Mayfair - £550. Great to have my own car, horribly unreliable and rusty.
1987 Ford Fiesta 1.1L - £1050. Great car. Tiny tyres, no power, momentum is all!!!
1989 Ford Fiesta XR2 - £2350. Loved it, but a bit unsophisticated in the final analysis.
1996 Ford Fiesta 1.25Si - £4200. Lovely chassis and smooth engine.
1990 Golf GTI 8v - £1000. Bit ratty but I always wanted one. Great fun.
1989 Golf GTI 8v (highly modded) - £1500. Brilliant car. Wish I'd got it resprayed and hadn't sold it now.
1997 Ford Fiesta 1.25 Chicane - £1200. Brother's old car, same as the other 1.25.
1991 Golf GTI 16v - £1200. Lovely, but more temperamental than the 8v's. Didn't use it enough.
1997 Honda Civic 1.4i Tornado - £1500. Mother-in-law's old car. Brilliant at what it does.

Vauxhall Astra MK3 1.4 MPI - The multi point injection made all the difference....NOT !
Alfa Romeo 156 2.4 JTD - My first Alfa, converted ever since. 2.4 JTD unit had surprising pull and sounded great under acceleration
Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 JTS Veloce (Facelift) - Fantastic drive, sound, looks...very special car
Alfa Romeo GTV 3.0 V6 - POWERRRRRRRR !!!, unbelievable car (Current car)
Alfa Romeo GT 1.9 JTD - 156 chassis but better, more practical and a coupe, loved it (Just sold)

In the 12 years since I got my license (turning 29 on Friday) - always two at a time:

1. 1984 BMW 323ise
2. 1994 Volvo 850 GLE
3. 1996 BMW 328i
4. 1996 Fiat Bravo HGT
5. 1999 Audi TT (225 Quattro)
6. 1999 Subaru Impreza Turbo GT
7. 2000 BMW M Coupe (S50)
8. 2002 BMW M3
9. 2003 Porsche Cayenne Turbo
10. 1997 Porsche 993 Turbo (factory S-spec)
11. 2006 VW Golf GTi

And I think that's about it apart from the 2001 M3 I owned for 8 hours before it was nicked, and me nicking my dad's 2005 Audi RS6+ Avant much more often than he'd like biggrin

25 yrs old



98 Clio 1.2 first car

Renault 5 gt turbo ( owned for 6 years, and still in my garage under going a restoration

Astra gte/Cavalier/Sierra all owned for less than a week each and sold for a profit

My Pug van.

Not a massive history, but I work on cars every day, at various dealerships, so would never buy a new car even if I could afford one. Plus I'm more of a retro head.
