Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 (auto :-( )

Eunos Roadster 1.6 (Import, turns out I couldn't insure it for any sort of reasonable money)
Mazda Mx5 1.8
Mazda Mx5 1.8 (Supercharged - owned for 4 years)
Porsche 996 Turbo (still own)
BMW 120d Sport (as the daily for a year)


I'm pretty much blaming the Mazda for my obession on cars, it's by far the best car I've ever driven and just wish there was a bigger/better car that drove like an Mx5 but was a bit more powerful and robust (hence ending up searching for a 911)

hmm never thought about this but actually my first ever car that registered in U.K. was Porsche (boggo 986, 2.7)!!
My first real car was Golf mk4, 4 motion v5, German export LHD, as I used to live/study in the continent.

Imho, VW Beetle, Golf and smaller porsches (early 911's, boxster,cayman and etc..) are the perfect cars in Europe. They provide good comfort on motorways or long journeys, massive fun in country roads and easy to park anywhere! I drove many other cars in the past, mostly belonging to family members, and never found them inspiring and built for drivers. (Jeep, Land Rover, Renault, Mercs, Ford even BMW and etc...)
