[hagis]

85 Nissan Micra 988cc - brother wrote it off, pity as despite it doing about 114k it was solid and never let me down.
94 Renault Clio 1.9d - Not a fun car but did the trick. Handled like a tank. Never properly recovered from being in a river. Sold to my cousin who had it for a couple of years before it caulked it.
97 Peugeot 306 TurboD. Less reliable than British Rail and a previous owner had knackered it. Loved the car, died at 133k when the diesel injectors went. Having spent a lot on it I decided to call it a day.
02 Audi A4 1.9TDi. Love it!

[dansansome]

:eek:

do you have your insurance firm on speed dial #2 ?

[sdk778]

Feels like it sometimes, low attention span i think!!!
A lot of them were all owned at the same time, i am proud to say that each and every one (except the Jaguar MK2) were all road legal. DVLA love me! Not.
I must take this moment to mention that Privilege Insurance have been looking after myself and my wife for over 12 years now and couldn't be more helpful.
Problem is that i have a tendancy to long for a certain car and then i am either disappointed or lose interest. I bought six of them with certain problems (usually small/minor accident damage, not write off's) sorted them out and moved them on afer using them for a while.
On top of those i had two company cars and two company vans.

1995 Rover 414i (Company/Lease car)
1996 Rover 420 Si (Company/Lease car)
1996 Rover 416Si Saloon in Silver, This was an exceptionally good car, that someone rear ended after just 5 months and wrote it off. (Company/Lease car).

But I don't have that red Astra anymore... I part exed it towards my 54 VW Transporter T5 1.9 TDI. That says it all, I part exed it for a van...

[clonmult]

I've definitely had a chequered history :

77 Datsun 120Y. Rear drive, rusting to pieces fun
81 Astra 1200S Saloon. Tought me how to strip engines down
85 Cavalier 1600L. In brown. Horrible colour, but good engine.
85 Corolla GTi-16. Best car I've ever owned, stonking engine. Wrote it off in a big way.
84 205 1.4. Roly poly, but incredibly ride. Engine died.
85 Escort 1.3L - incredibly reliable, but I hated it.
88 Orion 1.6i Ghia. Lovely car, but an utterly horrible engine.
87 Volvo 480ES. Wicked car, handled way better than I ever expected
91 Cavalier 1.8i LS. Family car. Utterly dull.
96 Mondeo 1.8 TD Ghia X. Good chassis. Terrible engine.
99 BMW 318iS Coupe. Huge fun, engine nowhere near powerful enough though.
99 Renault Laguna 1.8 RT Sport. Dull. Very dull.

and now -
01 Audi A6 Avant 1.9 TDi 130. Most incredibly practical car I've ever owned. In time may turn out to be my best ever purchase - looks like a better family car than an Espace or Scenic.

http://cars.uk.msn.com/supercars/article.aspx?cp-documentid=13930819

I'm not even two weeks into A6 ownership and I'm wondering about an RS6! Being realistic though, the 1.9TDi with a remap will be more than adequate for my needs.

[ford776]

it doesn't hurt to dream

[clonmult]

it doesn't hurt to dream

True.

Not sure I could justify a 500bhp monster as a "practical family car" to SWMBO. Although the current SWMBO is way more reasonable than the prior incumbent. She would never have understood anything bigger than a Mondeo/Vectra, but the current - she was the one pushing for an A6 Avant over the alternatives (Alfa 156, Vectra, 5 series, Mondeo, etc.). I think I've got a keeper here :D

[NickPicks]

Mine are (in order of purchase):

1973 Hillman Imp -inherited from my Brother when he bought a Ford Cortina - was green, but I painted it red
1969 Hillman Imp - bought from a mate for spares - I never actaully drove it.
1971 Sunbeam Stiletto - Sport Coupe version of the Imp - White with Vinyl Roof
1987 Lancia Delta HF Turbo - 140bhp - fastest 5 door hatch on the road! - Red
1988 Lancia Delta HF Turbo - to replace the rusty red one - Metallic Burgundy
1986 Mazda 323 1.6i - temporary cheap car whilst buying house - kept for 3 years - faded red.
1989 Audi Coupe 2.2E - Metallic Grey - very nice.
1997 Renault Megane - Wife's car, but became mine when the Audi gearbox packed up. - eventually needed too much welding for MOT
2000 Audi A6 Avant 2.4 SE. - Silver. Very nice and comfortable big car.

So, my total comes to 9 owned, 8 driven. Plus various parents' cars, company cars and hire cars.

All this talk of Minis is taking me back to a time long, long ago.

Mine, the handbrakes never worked on any of them, front ball joints always doing their best to hang off. Typical Mini problems. You had to be a mechanic to own one.

The days of going into the garage and swapping for 1100 and 1300cc engines will last long in the memory. I once re-built one, unfortunately I've no pictures to tell the story. Replaced every single panel, bare metal re-sprays, sills and everything, installing tinted windows, the lot. So, so much fun and to see it when it was finished was such a fantastic feeling.

I had a Mini Clubman (not the one mentioned above), it went from 850cc to 1300cc, with a cloth interior and loads of bits including alloys. Was so, so fast.

[MalcQV]

Added current cars.

1976 MkIII Cortina 1600L, then I planted a 2000 engine in it.
1978 Opel Manta Hatch, I loved that car but the auto box kinda ruined it.
1983 Ford Sierra (jelly mold) 2.0 Ghia. Very good car well ahead of its time and would not rust. I passed this onto to my dad (which reminds me on another thread where I mentioned his cars. He had this too).
1989 Mazda 323F 1600, pop-up headlights model. This was superb too.
1994 Honda Civic Coupe, the first brand new car I owned. Great car, but I sort of passed it onto the missus when I got company cars, she sold it for a 97 Civic Hatch.
1995 Rover 414i (Company/Lease car)
1996 Rover 420 Si (Company/Lease car)
1996 Rover 416Si Saloon in Silver, This was an exceptionally good car, that someone rear ended after just 5 months and wrote it off. (Company/Lease car).
1997 Rover 618 (Company/Lease car).
1995 Honda Accord 2.0i. + Volvo 340 pile of crap.
1996 Honda Accord 2.0s. + Renault 19 Energy, another pile of crap.
2003 130 2.0S Passat + 1983 Ferrari Mondial QV, this car makes me feel alive with that symphony of eight screaming at nearly 8000rpm. :approve:(current cars)

[Dudey Head]

I've only had four even though I've been driving for 15 years!

C reg Vauxhall Nova saloon 1.2 Merit
A reg VW Golf Mk II 1.3 CL
G reg Vauxhall Cavalier 2.0 SRi
M reg Audi Coupe 2.6E (current)
V reg VW Lupo 1.4 (current)

The Nova was an ugly little bugger with apalling brakes that I bought off my brother who bought it off a mate! Fond memories of cramming 5 plus camping stuff in it & going to the Reading Festival. The brakes weren't really doing much with that much weight in it! Also four of us driving down to Devon in it , setting off at midnight & sleeping in it in front of the sea!

The Golf was one of the very first MkII's and had been in the family since it was 2 years old, unfortunately I pulled out in front of someone in it!! Sold it for £40!

The C(h)avalier was a stop-gap after I killed the Golf, a mate had had it sat in his garage for ages! It was a bit tatty, a proper hooligans car but it could shift! Considering it was 600CC less than the Audi it wasn't much slower!

Currently have the Audi & Mrs. D's Lupo 1.4 auto, which is great fun! It's nippy & got no gears so it's very go-kart like!!

[onzarob]

Replaced every single panel, bare metal re-sprays, sills and everything,.

Over 65% of the body work on that mini was replace to get it that good, but any Mini more than 5 mins old has rust;)

T'is when being a mechanic came in very handy. In a way I do miss the days when you could spend an hour in a scrap yard taking bits off cars and then coming home and fitting them in your garage. I could fit a new Mini engine in just a couple of hours, yet these days it's impossible with everything having to be coded etc. For that reason I don't particularly enjoy ever taking the Audi apart.

[alisonj]

My cars so far:

F Reg Fiat Panda (with a "FIRE" engine - I thought that was so special :o)
N Reg Fiat Cinquecento (good university runabout - bit like a biscuit tin but I loved it)
N Reg Fiat Punto (I never really liked that car but it was safer on the motorway than the Cinquecento)
T Reg Peugeot 306 Meridian (I still miss that car!)
'05 Reg Audi A4 Avant

Not bad, certainly for the last few years :)

N.B. The Ferrari in one of the pictures above is very smart - and nicely mowed grass too!

Not bad, certainly for the last few years :)

N.B. The Ferrari in one of the pictures above is very smart - and nicely mowed grass too!

Thankyou. The cars are actually on a neighbour's drive, they were/are in Spain and the house was empty. The lawn is courtesy of Mrs QV.

05 A4 Avant is not bad either ;)

That's a nice line up.

I have many happy memories of restoring my MKII with my ad and brother in time for my 17th birthday.

I think one of my best experiences was getting to sit in one of the most famous Mini's of all time 33 EJB Paddy Hopkirks rally mini that was amazing and very special.

This year will see my 1999 Downton rack up a few miles 2 trips to Devon planned with in a month of each other a trip to Silverstone and over the to east coast to Skegy (i think) santa pod and Birmingham (yeah I know it's on my doorstep) all to help celebrate to Mini's 50th birthday

[Foster85]

Been driving just over 3 and a half years and I'm on my 6th car, I get bored quite quickly...

1) Peugeout 205 xs worth £275....I thought I was Colin McRae in that thing, so much fun on the twisties!
2) VW Golf GT TDI 110 - R32 replica :o, 18inch Chrome wheels, every optional extra going and then some more on top!
3) MR2 Turbo - see sig, suprised a few people did that little beasty!
4) Seat Ibiza 1.4s - had to sell the MR2 to grow up and buy a house :(
5) Ford Mondeo 1.8 LX Estate - The Ghurkin.... A green '03' estate which was quite possible one the best cars I've ever driven :bigeyes:
6) The current squeeze, Audi A4 (B6) S-Line 1.8t.

Still miss the MR2 for its power though and the 205 simply because it was sooooooo much fun...

Not so many for me...

1. Nissan Prairie, yes it was bad but it was my mums and was the "high spec" SGL with a radio (no cassette player or FM reception) and wind up windows on the driver AND passenger side.
2. Cavalier 1.7 TD. Strange blue colour. Shared it with my brother and got through 5 clutches in 160k.
3. Would have been a Renault Clio 16v but this was nicked before I picked it up from the garage, bought the Pug 306D Turbo instead. Loved this car, but so, so unreliable. engine was never a problem, but everything else fell off/broke/seized..
4. Honda Accord 1.8 Zzzzzzzzz
5. Honda Civic Sport, looked like the Type R, went like mums 1.4.
6. A4 1.8T - lovely car, but had to go when wife bought the biggest buggy in the world.
7. Mazda CX-7. Big. Quick. Lots of kit. Spend more on fuel than I do on my mortgage!!

56 2006 Nissan Xtrail 2.2 Td Aventura Lease
06 2006 Audi A6 2.7 Tdi Mine

Liked the transporter no one messed with you and it would stay at 90 all day...

Vectra was bland and fell to bits.

Uno was pants so was the Marea both vehicles were enough to give me an adversion to Fiat. The Marea had a great engine though and so did the vectra that I believe shares the engine but in a different state of tune.

Likes the xtrail good car but it was noisy and rough. Would have a go in any condition. Missed it with all this snow were getting.

Ford Focus was good but it had a few bits and pieces go on it - leaky power steering pump. The dealer gave me a car to use while they were fixing mine found the rear tyre flat at the garage and then they said it didnt go out with me like that. Yeah right. 2 miles down the road. I got charged a tyre and I left Ford a very unhappy customer. Used to work for them a long time ago too and was impressed with the focus as a drivers car.

The 1.4s was a fun car changed the cam and added a sports exhaust and air filter. Would have a go and savage xr2's given the chance - it even worried rs turbos until they started to boost....

The corsa I was impressed with as although it was a small car it was comfy did the trip to london a couple of times in it and it coped well and got good consumption. high forties most of the time.

It was the S2 coupe

What an awesome motor that was!! Even as standard before i had messed with it. Oh the fun i used to have out dragging RS4s,M5s,Porky 911s and the like off the mark:D The look on some of there faces when an old J reg audi leaves them standing:p

Must get me another one of those and SOON!

Just looked at mine back in 2008.. well again this excludes Mrs QV.

1976 MkIII Cortina 1600L, I then put a 2000 engine in.
1978 Opel Manta Hatch, I loved that car but the auto box kind of ruined it.
1983 Ford Sierra (jelly mold) 2.0 Ghia. Very good car well ahead of its time and would not rust. I passed this onto to my dad (which reminds me on another thread where I mentioned his cars. He had this too).
1989 Mazda 323F 1600, pop-up headlights model. This was superb too.
1994 Honda Civic Coupe, the first brand new car I owned. Great car, but I sort of passed it onto the missus when I got company cars, she sold it for a 97 Civic Hatch.
1995 Rover 414i (Company/Lease car)
1996 Rover 420 Si (Company/Lease car)
1996 Rover 416Si Saloon in Silver, This was an exceptionally good car, that someone rear ended after just 5 months and wrote it off. (Company/Lease car).
1997 Rover 618 (Company/Lease car).
1995 Honda Accord 2.0i. + Volvo 340 pile of crap.
1996 Honda Accord 2.0s. + Renault 19 Energy, another pile of crap.
1983 Ferrari Mondial QV (just been sold).

[Dudey Head]

I've only had four even though I've been driving for 15 years!

C reg Vauxhall Nova saloon 1.2 Merit
A reg VW Golf Mk II 1.3 CL
G reg Vauxhall Cavalier 2.0 SRi
M reg Audi Coupe 2.6E (current)
V reg VW Lupo 1.4 (current)

The Nova was an ugly little bugger with apalling brakes that I bought off my brother who bought it off a mate! Fond memories of cramming 5 plus camping stuff in it & going to the Reading Festival. The brakes weren't really doing much with that much weight in it! Also four of us driving down to Devon in it , setting off at midnight & sleeping in it in front of the sea!

The Golf was one of the very first MkII's and had been in the family since it was 2 years old, unfortunately I pulled out in front of someone in it!! Sold it for £40!

The C(h)avalier was a stop-gap after I killed the Golf, a mate had had it sat in his garage for ages! It was a bit tatty, a proper hooligans car but it could shift! Considering it was 600CC less than the Audi it wasn't much slower!

Currently have the Audi & Mrs. D's Lupo 1.4 auto, which is great fun! It's nippy & got no gears so it's very go-kart like!!

Still got the Coupe & the Lupo but now also got 'Pascal' as Dudey Jr has named it - Pascal the Peugeot - 406 HDi, a bonafide CBTD (Cheap Basic Transportation Device) as Big Col would have it. I have to say it's probably the most comfortable car I've been in & barely even sips fuel it's that economical. Handles quite nicely too.

[feliciafunandLT]

mmm...let me see (can I add motorbikes? - I started on motorbikes so I'm gonna!) Womans perogative!;)

1990 Kawasaki KC100 - yeah baby - custom paint job (tried painting black over grey primer.....:o)
1980 Honda CM200 - also custom paint job (let someone else do it this time!)Lots of chrome.....:Blush2:
Ancient Austin A40 (a car..of sorts) - dint go anywhere due to bottom dropping off!
Vauxhall Viva - 2 years too new to take advantage of the classic tax:zx11: Then the clutch ceased.
Fiat Uno inherited from mother - sold on rapidly (for £50)
1981 Mk1 Suzuki Swift 1.3GS - yes all four cylinders!:D Muchos fun!
1989 Suzuki GSXR400RR - yep back to bikes (and still got it 12 years on!) Muchos muchos fun!
Yamaha TY175 - nicked by some scallies :zx11:
1998 Skoda Felicia pick-up 1.9D - practical and yet entertaining.
1999 Skoda Felicia Fun pick-up (still got)
2001 Yamaha R6 - b.e.a.utifull...but hardly used it so it got traded in against:
2005 BMW 1150GS (still got - technically its mostly the b/fs though!)
1988 VW LT35 campervan - grin generator!:biglaugh: (still got)
1993 Peugeot 205 (for commuting) - wrote it off rolling it into a Lincolnshire ditch in the ice - sweet!
Another Peugeot 205 (1992) - some people just don't learn......
1995 Citroen Xantia - for commuting in more comfort (well I was doing 140 miles a day) - heater matrix went but I dragged another winter out of it anyway - but its hellish cold at 6.30am in the Wolds...so...
2006 Seat Ibiza 1.9TDI (still got) nice car but always reminds me of getting HUGELY ripped off by ruddy Stoneacres (like I said, some people never learn...) Lives in Oxfordshire in the week.
2003 Fiat Doblo - for family-friendly motoring (still got) - a slight change from the SAAB 900 Talladega which we traded in for it!

Think that's about it....
...probably a good job really

[bannedbiker]

I never bothered passing my driving test till a few years ago as I've always ridden bikes. That makes my car history a bit wierd:

Mk1 VW Golf 1.5 auto (when I was 15...)
695cc Reliant Rialto (3 wheeler to keep dry, still only had a bike licence)
'84 VW Polo 1.0 (donated to me to replace my mum's fiesta that I wrote off!)
'97 Peugeot Partner 1.9diesel
'54 plate Renault Kangoo 1.5 Tdi
'96 Audi A4 Avant 1.8
Seeing how feliciafunandLT put her bike history in too here's mine:

'90 Yamaha DT50MX (legally restricted to 30mph, mine was so tuned by me n my bro that it would do 72...)
'81 Yamaha XJ650R (donated to me as a project for when I passed my test, never happened!)
'79 Honda XL125 (with the 185cc cylender, XR200 high lift cams, KX250 front and rear ends)
'89 Honda MTX125
'03 Yamaha WR250F
'02 Suzuki GS600f Bandit S
'92 Honda NSR125

[seanj0hn]

Not much in my history;

When I was 17 my first car was a 99 1.0L Polo. Free from a family member so why not! And yes it was that blue colour...

Then an MG ZR 1.4L 105ps, 06 plate. Bought for 8k, sold 4 months later for 4k. Lost 4k in deppreciation within 4 months. This car was an outstanding piece of **** and lost me my license. But I can't go blaming the car for that!

After passing my re-sit got a 07 Fiesta Zetec-S. Bored speaking about it already.

22 Now and I'm driving an Audi A3 2.0TDI 140ps Black Edition in Phantom Black. 10 plate.

[fat controller]

Get a cup of tea before you start (and these are just the ones I have actually owned, and do not include company or long term loaned)

1972 Citroen 2CV Ami8 - bought for £120, 602cc two-stroke piece of French crap; thing was a death trap, so bad in fact that I took it to the local scrapyard and refused to leave until I saw it drained and crushed. Only had it about six months.

1982 Volkswagen Golf CL - engine was not original, and was bigger than the 1098cc declared on the registration document; thing could climb trees from a standing start, and its only flaw was the fact that it lacked a fifth gear. I adored this car, and still class it as my first proper car.

1984 Volvo 340DL - the lack of fifth gear, and a lot of motorway driving drew me to the conclusion that a bigger car would be the answer; shame I picked this one. Without question, the most unreliable car I have ever owned, or seen for that matter - could not even go 20 miles without breaking down. Best of it is, my mum had one at the same time, and it was an unreliable dog too. Fed up of it, I got rid and bought:

1983 Volvo 360GLT - liking the comfy seats of the other one, and liking the idea of the big powerful engine was enough to get me looking past the Volvo badge. Had it six weeks, when (in snow) I had a coming together with a fence post at a very low speed (no more than 12mph), which wrote the car off. Vowed I'd never have another Volvo.

1984 Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6L in turd brown - Bought in a hurry because I needed wheels, owned by a decorator before me, and was in one hell of a state (dull paint, grimy interior) when I got it. Soon had it looking good, and running like a Timex - worked out to be a good motor.

1986 Rover 216 S - The very same kind as Mr Bucket in 'Keeping Up Appearances' - handled well, surprisingly quick and comfortable, rusted before my eyes.

1994 Kia Pride - Thoroughly fed up with old cars needing fixed, and rusting away, I decided small, cheap and nearly new was the way to go. Hated it the minute I left the showroom. Had it six months, and just had to get rid.

1992 Ford Sierra Sapphire GLX - The perfect antidote to the Kia; electric toys, sunroof, great stereo, fast and comfy; without doubt, one of the best I have had.

1994 Citroen Xantia TD - Great engine, and extremely comfortable ride; shame the rest of the car was a disaster. Financial disaster saw it repossessed (they were welcome to it)

1990 Ford Granada Scorpio - Lovely big car, plenty of toys, and like an armchair to drive (only much faster!), only downside was its love of motion lotion.

1998 Peugeot 406 LX - Very comfy car, reasonable on fuel too, but the flakiest electrics I think I have ever seen. Windows would wind themselves down when they felt like it, and they would stay there til they felt like coming back up - that was just one of its tricks.

2000 Volkswagen Passat 1.8 SE - Very disappointing car, although in fairness I think that the previous owner was the cause rather than the car itself. Loads of niggles, and remarkably thirsty for a wee 1.8

2002 Jaguar X-Type 2.5 V6 SE - Stunner of a car in every way. Handled well, beautiful ride, looked stunning, and drank like a fish. Impending transfer box failure prompted it to be moved on.

1996 Jaguar XJ6 Sport - Heartbreaker of a car. Inerior and body wise, in immaculate condition with a stunning amount of history; so many problems that cost me a fortune (literally raped my bank balance), which left me with no funds to cope when our landlords shop went up in smoke (we lived above it, they were uninsured), so it had to go.

1998 Mercedes C180 Elegance - Not a bad car really, plodded away to get me out of the brown smelly stuff, and sort the finances out a bit, and lasted a couple of years before finally taking ill.

which brings me onto my current

2007 Volkswagen Passat 2.0TDI(140) SE - Not off to the best start thanks to a failed injector, and now crapping myself that there will be more to come, now that I now I have the dreaded BKP engine. Lovely car all the same, and so far she has stolen my heart.

1976 MkIII Cortina 1600L
1978 Opel Manta Hatch, I loved that car but the auto box kind of ruined it.

Nova SR sporty for an 18 year old
Land rover S3 swb I fitted that with seats from an allegro just jammed them in very unsafe when I think about it!
