Just bought one!
Discussion
welcome to PH
I've had a variety of cars:
Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo (bought the day after I passed my test
)
Mitsubishi FTO tiptronic
Mazda RX7 Twin Turbo
Gemballa bodied Porsche 928 S4
My current steed is a 1992 E32 BMW 740i bought for £670 on eBay (about 1000 Euros!), I bought it as a stopgap after I left my job selling Mercedes at an MB dealership in the North of England.
Through my work at Mercedes I have driven pretty much every A,B,C,CL,CLK,E,GL,ML,R,S,SL,SLK class there is plus most of the AMGs (SLK55, SL55, S65, S55, ML63, ML55, CLK55, CL55, E55, C55 etc).

Wow that's a mighty list there Mark. Here goes for mine, ahem (at the other end of the scale, way not-so-impressive at all)
-1st car: Honda Jazz 1200 cc manual- loved it to bits, but it rotted. real go-kart though
2) a zebra-striped GOLF II diesel 54 hp!!!
3) Ford Escort XR3i, modded the engine etc. myself, that's why it kept going wrong. Took the red stripes off, to make it look 'sedate'. There was soo much blow-by the pistons that the dipstick would get pushed out when I wallopped it. Poor poor engine
4) Golf III TDi 90 hp (company car), in those days it felt like the most powerful car on earth
5) Renault Scenic 1.6 petrol (company car)
6) Rover 45 2.0 TD (company car) , very comfy, went to Eastern Europe in the winter with that. It started after spending a full night out in -25°C.
7) Seat Alhambra 1.9 TDI (company car)
8) Peugeot 307 HDi company car(good grip, crap all the rest)
9)Alfa Romeo 156 (company car), lots of fun
10) FIAT IDea 1.9 JTD, not as bad as you might think!
11) & 12) Current:
1996 SAAB 900 turbo,2.0L petrol, loads of fun,; love it to bits
Mercedes 200 CDi estate (waiting for a chip for it)
