95 - Holden (Vauxhall) Astra Hatchback (first Car)
95 - Mitsubishi Lancer (mirage) 2 dr coupe
1999 - Nissan 200sx
2001 - Nissan Bluebird SSS + Suzuki GSXR 750 for fun
2003 - MINI Cooper S

The MINI is far and away the best car I have ever owned in all respects.

I do however have a very soft spot for the Nissan 200SX... the time I had with that car was awesome.

I think my list is fairly moderate, considering age and all. A few friends have gone through 2x / 3x as many.

'84 Saab 900S
'86 Saab 9000 turbo
'00 Honda Accord SE

Annnnd.. Order for the '06 Cooper S is going in next week, I swear. Muh favorite was the 9000, for the turbo-fueled whiplash above 3k rpm. Damn thing has more than a quarter-million miles, and I'm giving it to a friend for more thrashing. The least pleasant has been the Accord – no soul at all. Plus it's gold-colored.

I like them small, I have nothing to prove unlike drivers of big red ferraris!

SIMEDS I've got a 1966 Fiat 500 in my garage, hasn't move for about 9years but the engine still runs as sweet as a nut. 17 BHP 2 cylinder I tell you one think despite it's lack of power it could still embarrass lots of more powerfull cars, give it a race aroundabout and there was only one winner

My cars are as follows

1988 Vauxhall Nova - never let me down thrashed it for 2 years

1993 Mini Rio - loved it till the diff exploded and took the geabox out and bent the crank

2000 Mini classic cooper sport - had all the looks but never handled as well as the rio . 1st car i owned from new, rust broke out after 18 months, heater packed up just in time for its 2nd winter. I loved it when it behaved its self but there were 2 many flaws. It was treated to a full clean, including taking the wheels off almost every week

2000 Vauxhall Astra sxi - not a bad car but lacks character and i don't love it. I've only cleaned it 4 times in the 3 yrs i've owned it. it just gets used and abused

I'm doing everything i can to get an 06 cooper conv ordered
