Something about hatchbacks...

1994 Citroen Xantia TD (M*** ***)
1992 Peugeot 205 1.6 GTI (H*** WGH)
1997 VW Golf GTI 8v (R*** JTN)
2003 MINI Cooper (LG03 ***)
2004 MINI Cooper S (LG54 ***)
1996 SAAB 900 XS (P*** SUU)
2005 BMW 130i (RA55 ***)

A dodgy start with million-mile ex-fleet Xantia but it was great for a first car.

Still own the last two..

Holy cow! Some of you guys have some hectic lists! And some nice stuff!

Rode MX when I was younger, so too many offroad bikes to mention

But (and majority was in South Africa, so Opel is Vauxhall) and obtained in the following order

1999 Opel Corsa Utility 130i (modded to high hell)
1999 Opel Kadett (Astra hatch)
1991 Opel Kadett GSI-16VS "Superboss" (homoligated race prepped modified GTE-16v) - the one that blew up 3 months ago
1974 (IIRC) Opel Manta with Chev motor - was going to be a project car for the missus, but that ended prematurely smile
2006 PGO G-Max 250
1999 KTM Duke 640 SM

Now, in UK
1994 Golf 3 VR6

Also, the Manta was not the square light one, it looked more like the Mustang than the newer ones.

Actually, I had all the vehicles except the corsa at the same time.

And my current car

I could list my Dad's cars past and present, we had, I think, 45 cars at one stage about 30 in MOT'able or raceable condition. We have down sized as a family, stopped the business and just sold some of them on, I think we have about 20 as a family still.

In order -

Talbot – Rally / Sport Special Edition - first car, serious fun with dumb ass black windows and 12" speakers
Capri – 2.0 - standard, FUN
Celica - OK
Astra GTE - Yeah baby bring it on, FUN, FUN, FUN
Mondeo - Company Car, I was very proud of it at the time
Suzuki 750 - Seriously swift
Damiler 250 - Sunday car to get laid with more well-to-do ladies (loved it)
Audi A4 2.l Turbo - company car, loved it
TVR Cebera 4.2 - argggghhhh, crashed it within 8 weeks - long story
Kawasaki 750 - better than the Suzzy, sold it when I went travelling
Honda FireBlade - needed another bike, this was the olde fox-eye model
Metro GTa - bought it for tupance when I came back from travelling, nice 'ickle' fun car
Laguna 3l V6 - dreary car, but lots of 'ommphff' from mid-range.
Mitsubishi FTO Mivec - groovy car, wife loved it & I enjoyed it
Jaguar XJR - yeah baby, your best armchair attached to a V2 rocket, adored this car before a deer jumped out infont of it
New Honda FireBlade - Same fun as any bike, but quicker (you car boys should buy a bike as well)
Lexus RX300 4x4 - like Jag XJR comfort with some speed, but not rocket powered
TVR Cerbera 4.5 - I don't have the eloquence to describe how this car performs - er... fast, faster, no - faster than that, You don't get it, it's faster that that - yeah quicker than the Lambo, NO the Fezza doesn't have a chance etc., etc.

Interspersed with a moped or two, which I still own but have /lent/given away/can't remember where they are.

I'm sure I've owned a load more cars than this, but here are the ones I remember in order - most owned together.

Currently have -

TVR Cerb 4.5
Lexus 4x4
Honda Blade

I still own the Metro GTa (which is a groovy car), but my mother has left it in a barn and a 125 Aprillia ped - which I think is in the shed (but I haven't checked since last spring).

If you're looking for a low mileage 125 ped, let me know...
