Well here we go,

W reg ford escort 1.3 - My first car and a complete rust bucket which you had to drive with flippers on when it rained

C reg 1.3 Nissan Cherry - Old man's gold colour, but not a bad little town car.

G reg Nissan Bluebird 2.0i GSX - everyone thought I was a taxi driver

P reg Nissan Primera 2.0i SE - everyone still thought I was a taxi driver

Then I visited the VW dealers and had a bit of a meltdown.........

Y reg 2.0 GTI mk4 8V in reflex silver - Bought new - didn't have much poke but loved the style.

51 reg Tornado red GT TDI 130 - Bought new - Liked the TDI punch (chip tuned)

W reg Lupo 1.4S in green - bought with the wife in mind and had at the same time as the TDI 130.

Y reg Lupo 1.6 GTI (5 gears) in silver - thought the wife needed a faster model - lovely 1.6 engine.

03 reg Audi 1.9tdi Quattro light ble metallic  - Bought new - Chip tuned again - hard suspension!

04 Audi 3 dr 2.0 TDI DSG sport Pearl Black - Bought new - chip tuned again - lovely car but the wife said we needed to go back to a 5 dr.

54 Golf 2.0 GT TDI DSG 5dr in steel grey - Bought new - chip tuned again - best car so far (although Lupo GTI comes close)

07 5dr ED30 GTI DSG in reflex silver - Being made this week so hoping to get delivery by late March

Oh well here goes, showing my age I suppose:

1975 - Ford Cortina 1300 Deluxe, 1968 F reg, metallic silver - first car, paid £250 for it and sold 2 years later for £250

1976 - Mini 1000, K reg, blue/rust - nothing but a money pit and rotten to hell all over

1977 - Fiat 127 900, N Reg, beige - cheap runabout and a sad workhorse

1979 - Datsun Sunny 120Y, cannot remember reg, metallic brown would you believe - very reliable though :embarassed:

1981 - Fiat 127 1050 Sport, W Reg, black - quick, cheap and low maintenance

1983 - Fiat 127 1300 GT 5 speed, new Y reg, red - sad, first new car, sowing machine engine though

1985 - Ford Fiesta XR2, new B reg, metallic silver - bit of a holligan and modded to hell, drove/sounded great

1986 - Audi Coupe quattro, C reg, red - well built, grown up, classy cruiser with great grip

1987 - VW Scirocco 1600GT, C reg, metallic grey - in between runabout, relaible as usual

1988 - VW Golf GTi Mk II, A reg, metallic green - lovely car, sold for same price as bought, 3 years later

1991 - VW Golf GTI Mk II Campaign, metallic black - great car, got nicked by some scrotes and hooned all over NE England, sold after recovery

1993 - Audi 80 2.0E, K reg, red - feeling old now, ex hire car, but nice, safe, comfortable, boring ride

1995 - Audi A4, new M reg, metallic black - new, had serious engine/suspension vibration issues (probably dual mass flywheel in hindsight), eventually replaced by Audi under goodwill gesture

1996 - Audi A4 1.8 T Sport, new P reg, metallic silver, quality, classy motor, deceptively fast. Replacement car from Audi at no cost to me, what a result
 
2000 - Audi TT quattro 180, new W reg, personal import, saved a bundle but lost it at trade-in. Persistent dual mass flywheel problems,crap dealer service, but great design and interior. Uninvolving drive though
 
2002 - Porsche Boxster 2.7, 2000 W - amazing car. Pleasure to say I owned a Porker for 4 1/2 years Almost bought a 993 then

2006 - VW Golf GTI Mk V, new 56 reg, Diamond Black metallic - much improved but just like an old friend

My head hurts now.

!. they only car ive managed to get the engine and gearbox to dittact itself whilst going over a hump back railway bridge!!!

Spooky, I once drove my 127 from Tyneside to London to watch a Spurs game with the engine/gearbox tied in with an old washing line - the engine mounting had gone and every time I changed gear, the throttle would open wide due to the engine/gearbox moving. Character forming but I'm glad I've moved on since then !
