I've been meaning to do a thread on my past cars for quite some time but never got round to it.

I've had quite a few cars and bikes that have been very special to me. Unfortunately I haven't got photos of all of them. My profile shows all the cars I've owned over the past 35 years.

There's been a few sheds and and couple of estates which were used to tow the Caterham SLR and BMW E30 M3 Sport Evolution to track days.

A few of the more interesting cars I've owned are below.

Escort RS Turbo (the RS Turbo's that were all white)
Peugeot 205 GTI 1.6 & 1.9.
All Golf GTIs to MK6.
Audi S3 (8V model)
All BMW M3's to E92 M3. My favourite and the one I should never have sold was an official UK supplied E30 M3 Sport Evolution also had a E30 M3 EVO 2 at the same time as a Lancia Delta Integrale EVO 2.
An early right hand drive Lancia Delta Integrale 8V, which was a pile of rubbish.
Impreza P1
Caterham Superlight R
BMW M2 2017 model
And lastly a car from a marque I've wanted to own from for twenty five years. A Cayman 981 GT4.

Here's a few photos of some of them. Apologies for the quality of some photos but in some cases the photos are quite old.

Thanks for posting those OP. thumbup

I notice you don't have a photo of your Escort Turbo - I hope it isn't for the same reason my mate has very few of his! He used to deal in salvage, buying written off cars from insurers. It was either 1985 or 1986 when he bought one of those 1st generation white Turbos that was a stolen/recovered car. He got a new stereo and a "state of the art" alarm fitted and within a week of putting it on the road it got nicked off his mother's drive while he was in the local!

No, not for that reason. I was 18 when I had the RS Turbo, it was my second car after a MK1 Golf GTi.
I probably do have a couple of old photos somewhere but back then there was no digital format so it would be an old 35mm photo if I could find one.

That's how the Superlight R's were. They had 13" magnesium rims and I ran Yokohama Advan AO48 tyres.
