I'm guessing that I'm not the only one PH who is trying to tick off boxes in their motoring CV, which largely accounts for why I swap cars these days, its not that I'm not happy with my choices, just that I want to experience the various things that motoring has to offer.

Once I had owned my ITR, which I regarded as a kind of "pinnacle of the genre" car, I swapped for an MX5. Some people said I was mad for doing it, but my only motivation was to discover something different, and with it, I ticked my RWD box, 2 seater box, and cabriolet box in one go! I did not like it as much as the ITR, but it had to be done! When I moved to the E36 328 I think ticked my > 4-cylinder box... and now that I have my MR2 I have ticked the mid-engine box and Turbo box.

I still need to do more things though. This is why I'm sure to own an Evo or Scooby at some point to tick the AWD box. After that, then I'll probably need to tick the Supercar performance box (although maybe a good Evo could do this!), and I owe it to myself as a petrol head to own something properly fast one day - my MR2 is as close to it as I've had yet, but its not properly fast, just nippy!

So I'm interested to see who has done what on PH! Over to you!

Surprisingly, only the supercar performance is lacking for me.

I haven't owned a car with a hand crank yet. Pop up lights was my most recent box ticked.

Snap, pop up lights is my most recent. I'm yet to own anything over a 4 cyl yet though which is disappointing. Ticked the rotary box mind!

All of the above.

Spend more than £1,000 on a vehicle would be next on my list, but I need a better job first. rolleyes

Not on the poll but I'd like a V8 & a Caterfield too.

Perhaps the next car must tick atleast one of those boxes...
Could it tick both?

I'm missing 4< cylinders, AWD and Supercar performance. Would quite like to hit the 4< cylinders with my next car, whatever it may be.

Only supercar and don't think that box will ever get ticked!
Saying that my FQ Evo can't have been much slower than 10 to 100mph but that's hardly a supercar!! It was rubbish!!

I've owned all but supercar performance, unless you include the bike. I have driven cars that are that fast though.
Although the turbo cars were both diesel....

As long as I can class a racing car as a super car, it will easily do 100 in less than 10 sec.

Yep, pop ups my most recent also biggrin
I havnt ticked FI even though I've had a few turbo diesels, I don't think they count.
All I need is a AWD, mid-engined, turbo supercar scratchchin

Same here. Although not had supercharged.

Want to try rotary at some point too.

I've actually driven them all, but I haven't owned them. Most have been at full chat around a track too.
