What cars have you had?
Here is a look at some of my previous motors, what have you guys had?
It all started off with a 1997 ford escort 1.4 encore.... in purple!
unfortunatley I cant find a photo 
after building up my first years no claims I moved onto my 'first real car', something I was proud of and enjoyed working on and
'modifying' and its what really got me into cars and working on them.
Peugeot 306 hdi
After a while I decided I needed more power, I believe I was one of the first few to add an intercooler to a hdi, and what impressive results! it was
running around 160bhp, not bad from 90 standard
Then this happed... A Merc pulled out in front of me
I then broke the car for parts and chopped it up to scrap, I needed a van for this so my next car was an astra van 1.7dti
which was a great laugh for something so shit! it was mainly used to thrown my surfboard in to blast down to the beach.
As you can tell i wasant earning much money back then!
after I got bored of the van and could afford a bit more for insurance, it was back to peugeot for another 306!
this time a gti-6
it had its problems, but has been one of the most fun cars I have owned, especially for not much over £1000! handled like a gokart, spat flames and
felt like a toy! what more do you want?!
Next... a big step up to a mk Seat Leon FR tdi170
lovely car! and alot of work done to it by the time I had finished!
was around 230-240bhp
Milltek DPF delete
Custon AAS cat back exhaust
r32 345mm brakes
KW coilovers
Whiteline antilift kit
HEL brainded lines
BFT Remap
much more!
Then the head gasket went, causing a cylinder to fill with water and crack a piston in half
I replaced the engine and then felt I it was time to sell up as I was just going too far with it!
While I was fixing the Leon i bought a suzuki wagon R for £250 as a run about to get me to work!
HILARIOUS car!
then when it was no longer needed
I then PX'd the leon for a mk4 golf gt tdi Anniversary
wasnt keen on this so it didnt last long
I also had a vitara offroader at the same time
Next was my current car, e46 330ci
3sdm alloys
KW coilovers
M3 front roll bar
clubsport splitters moulded in
DEcat and mid silencer removed
Powertec induction kit
BFT remap
probably other stuff!
excuse the wonky exhaust 
I also bought a daewoo matiz for £200 just for a laugh and to detroy
At the present time I also have my first kit car, MK indy fireblade
And a nissan terrano sport
Hope I've not bored you all too much
Whats next.... well the bmw and terrano are getting sold soon, and I fancy a shark eye scooby sti or some form of a4 avant, hopefully s4 or rs4
So, whats you're car history like?

Mk1 Fiesta 1.1 Supersport - great car, but the floor fell out
Mk3 Escort 1.1L - a truly awful car
Mk1 Golf 1.6 GX - fantastic little car that rattled on for years through the family
205 GTI 1.6 - Oh how I loved that car
106 1.5D - mega cheap to run and actually not bad
205 GTI 1.6 - had to go back for another go
306 HDI - another cracking little car, only sold when the family outgrew it
Leon Cupra TDI - Cracking car that was shown zero respect from new to 100k miles in 3 years, never batted en eyelid
MK Indy 2.0 pinto - loved building it, driving it and tinkering, but family commitments took over
3x Sierra's - stripped and broken over the years for the Indy and parts selling
Passat B6 Estate - did all that was asked of it apart from any excitement
Volvo V50 eDrive - mega economical, but (as I've mentioned before) a truly truly disappointing car on so many levels
Passat B6 Estate - (current) again, it just does what I need of it
Seat Alhambra - (current) hauls family and associated stuff, doubles as a van and I will have another when it dies
205 GTI 1.9 - (current) had to go back for another go 
205 GTI 1.6 - (current) race prepped body shell awaiting a rebuild

Right, here goes-
'72 Mini 850- evolved upto a whopping 1000cc with Cooper S head.
80's Mazda 323 1.3 (possibly the low point).
'81 Mk1 Scirocco GLi 1.6, cool
'87 Renault 5 GT Turbo Phase1 (Pearl white )
80's Fiat 131 2000TC Supermirafiori (another low point contender)
'87 Nissan Silvia Turbo 'Superchipped' to 175bhp
'83 Mk1 Golf GTi 1.8 'Campaign', raced in 'Slick 50 Road Saloon Championship'
2 x Mk2 Scirocco GTis, one raced in 'Slick 50' (replaced written off Golf above ) and one road car.
'89 Renault 5 GT Turbo, cut n shut heap of shite!! 
'86 Audi Coupe Quattro, in red 'Fire up the....'
'88 Peugeot 205 GTi 1.6, repaired write off.
Then I got a string of company cars so the cars became purely toys. And rode bikes for several year-
'98 Yamaha Thundercat
'00 Aprilia SL1000 Falco
'96 Yamaha XTZ750 Super Tenere
'99 Honda XL1000V Varadero
'77 Lancia Montecarlo, still got it and probably always will TBH (Been to 'Ring, Le Mans, Alps, Pyrenees etc)
'90 Mazda RX7 Turbo II, boost wound up and finished 4th in PPC £999 challenge doing a 14.0s @ 105mph 1/4 mile. Then drove to the 'Ring and
blitzed a lap of that too
[IMG]http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww236/enicpic/RX7/IMAGE_021.jpg[/IM
G]
'89 BMW 535iS, finished 5th in PPC £999 challenge with a 100bhp shot of NOS Then again drove to 'Ring with 4 lads all the camping gear
and a roof box and still managed a very respectable lap once unloaded.
[IMG]http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww236/enicpic/BMW/079_59321.jpg[/IM
G]
'90 MR2, bought cheap with knocking lump. Fitted Rev3 lump and coilovers and finished 2nd in PPC £999 challenge. Fitted 3.0 V6 and finally WON
the PPC £999!!!
Then guess what, we took it to the 'Ring where it flew Awesome piece of kit that's now for sale
And, breath....

Honda Civic 1.7 Coupe. (this is my current daily driver and is 13 years old but is the only car I have owned with the later style number plate layout,
I can afford newer cars but try to steer clear of cars that are too new as I've been rear ended 4 times now minding my own business sitting in
traffic or at lights so I always try to own cars I will make money from the insurance claim rather than lose money.)
The Toyota's have all been great cars, (I've never had to put my hand in my pocket for any of them) and the Honda's haven't.
