W Reg white Mini City, bit like this one, went halves with mum and dad for it, when I was 16. She had tiger skin seat covers which I kept in and called her Tiger Mini!

Gold Mini Mayfair, bit like this with standard wheels. Mine was an auto, and a pain in the rear. I called her Sepia.

White Mini Advantage, much like this one. Probably my favourite Mini out of the lot. I called her Snowy!

Black Designer and Mini 30, pictured on my little drive with me and my dog. The 30 was mine, called Ebony, (the one I am leaning on) and the Designer was my partner's, she was already named Morticia when we bought her.

Suki, standard Mini Sprite 1275, well she was standard when I got her, then I kind of went crazy on the pink and chrome

Holly - Smart Pulse Cabrio, decided a modern car was a good idea. Later realised it wasn't.

Sakura, Mk1 MR2: Phil swapped his Cinqecento for this, with the intention of selling her on. Well, he did, but only to me!

I've only ever owned 2 cars so...

I did drive my parents cars for a while though but as I didn't own them I haven't added them

1989 Peugeot 309 GRD Special Equipment in Ming blue. We called it The Shagwagon. It was my Mum's, but she never really drove it again after I'd passed my test

1987 Peugeot 309 GL in BEIGE. Bought for £100 with a broken starter motor. Brakes used to boil if you did over 20 miles at a time because the calipers were binding.

Mum & Dad scrapped it after this happened over the winter whilst I was at Uni

1997 Ford Mondeo Ghia X in Panther Black. My first actual pride and joy

1999 Nissan 200SX S14a Touring. FAVOURITE.CAR.EVER! Sorely missed

1987 VW Golf GTi 8v. Current pride and joy. Fantastic little car

Mine is quite a short list as I never really chopped and changed cars much.
All of my pics are hotlinked, so if one of them turns in to a cock or goatse, let me know

First off, my 309 GLX. Bought this from a small garage up the road and it never really let me down.

I sold it to my sister in law a few years later to be replaced by...

...an Orion Ghia, G950 XNO. Was a much nicer car with a lot more gizmo's like a trip computer and electric windows, etc. Really felt like a step up at the time. Bought it off a mate and mine was in Mercury Grey.

Then I swapped in to the smaller but newer 106 XSi. I loved this little motor. It was small, nippy and I loved the colour.

I sold the 106 and got myself one of these instead...

I didn't really need a car at the time as we were working from home and I still had access to borrowing my mum's if I needed it. After a few crashes, I managed to work my way through 3 of these

Due to a change in circumstances, I was then lucky enough to go and buy one of these brand new...

I've still got it now and whilst I don't regret buying a brand new car, I'd not do it again. I've got it out of my system now and would much rather grab myself a better deal.

And just after that, I went out and bought this new too. It cost me almost as much as the car :embarrased:

I've still got this and converted it to a track bike. I've still got all the RedBull bodywork and may well be sticking it back on the road when funds allow

I did reconstruct the tennis pic but I don't know where it is :/

Wouldn't know about the other car but very likely, taken at Silverstone Classic.

My dad has had 4 cars in the 45 years he's been driving. An Austin A30 (bought ?), a black Morris Minor traveller (bought ?), a bermuda blue MM Traveller (bought 1972) and a navy blue MM convertible (bought 1981). He's still got the last 2
