Wel mine's quite short...

2000-2001: Ford Fiesta (C reg)

2001-2003: VW Polo (J reg) that I gave to my brother who ragged it around town, told me to sell it for him a couple of years later - he hadn't told me he'd drawn a giant penis on the inside roof along with many variations on the Kama Sutra which I discovered when a buyer came to view. It sold though (£20!).

2003-2004: BMW MINI Cooper S (black 03): brilliant car
2004-2006: BWM MINI Cooper S (white 54): even more brilliant car
2006-????: Pilgrim Sumo Cobra replica: beautiful when it runs.
2006-????: Smart Pulse as a runabout when Cobra's off the road (which is almost 90% of the time): it does the job & is economical but not very exciting.

[eccles]

i've got a fairly varied list, nothing very exotic though...

my list in order of ownership from about 1985

1934 morris minor 2-seater tourer
R reg 1100 mini clubman
S reg 850 mini van
L reg Austin 1300

B reg MG metro
N reg 850 mini pick up
A reg vauxhall nova 1.2L
C reg escort 1.3 popular
C reg maestro clubman (base model!)
E reg escort 1.6 LX
M reg mazda 323 1.3 (brilliant car, had it 5 years, and sold it with 220,000 on the clock)
51 reg Alfa 156 1.6 t/spark veloce (bought it nearly new, lovely car, but horrendously unreliable with a crap dealers, so had to go!)
51 reg Skoda Octavia 1.9 tdi estate current car( not the most exciting form of transport, but reliable, frugal, and a good load lugger when i support my mate hill climbing)
